Lawn Aeration?
 
Hi, I'm sure there have been many posts on who does lawn aeration, but couldn't find any. Anyone know anyone who does this service, and not cost a lot?
Thank you

We have a family of sand hill cranes that has been aerating our lawn for us at no charge.

I don't believe aeration is needed here. Sand base under the grass. Expert comments to follow.....

Massey Landscape Service will aerate your lawn. I believe the cost is $55. Their phone number is 352-706-0286.

Do they aerate the greens and fairways in FLA?

Definitely the greens. Not sure about the fairways...

But I do remember seeing some of the Tee-boxes that were aerated...

Aeration is for heavy soils, or grass areas with a heavy footfall, or compression from machinery used on it, on a regular basis.
Your normal Florida sandy soiled grass yard should not require it.

Dig a 12" deep hole.. if it is clayey, the punch holes, if it is very sandy, dethatch, but only if zoysia.

Personally I find aeration a necessity. Having worked at golf courses throughout Florida everyone of them aerates the fairways.

Golf courses have topsoil.. no topsoil at all at Village homes.
