Core Aeration: The Secret to a Healthier Lawn in Denver

In Denver’s dry, compacted soil, grass struggles to breathe, grow, and absorb water. At Mile High Lifescape, we solve this problem with professional core aeration — a proven method to restore your lawn’s health from the ground up.

What Is Core Aeration?

Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from your lawn, creating space for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. This loosens dense soil, breaks up thatch, and encourages deep, strong root growth — essential in Colorado’s clay-heavy ground.

Why Your Denver Lawn Needs It

Compacted soil is a major issue in Colorado. It happens naturally over time due to:

• Clay-rich soil structure

• Foot traffic and lawn equipment

• Drought and dry weather

• Thatch buildup

When soil is too tight, roots can’t grow, water runs off, and fertilizer sits unused. Core aeration opens up the soil so your lawn can absorb what it needs to grow greener and thicker.

Why Choose Mile High Lifescape?

We’ve been aerating Denver lawns for over 20 years. Our team uses commercial-grade machines calibrated for local soil, delivering consistent depth and spacing across your entire yard.

Real Benefits You’ll Notice

• Better water absorption – Stop wasteful runoff and help your lawn retain moisture

• Healthier roots – Deeper roots improve drought tolerance

• Stronger fertilization – Nutrients go straight to the root zone

• Less thatch and disease – Boost airflow, reduce fungus, and break down dead matter

• Thicker grass – Aeration creates the perfect base for overseeding and lush regrowth

Best Time to Aerate in Denver

The ideal aeration seasons:

• Spring (April–May) – Helps recovery from winter and prepares for summer

• Fall (September–October) – Perfect for cool-season grass and combining with overseeding

Avoid aerating during peak summer heat, after heavy rain, or when the ground is frozen.
