Heartland’s aeration service has made countless lawns across Kansas City softer, healthier, and more attractive ever since we opened our doors. Aeration helps loosen compacted soil in order to let your lawn breathe and absorb nutrients more easily, allowing for fuller growth. If fertilizing and mowing aren’t getting the job done on their own, then you are ready for the best lawn aeration service in Kansas!
Aeration decompresses compacted soil and makes it easier for nutrients and moisture to reach the roots of your lawn.
As the soil opens up, your lawn has better access to resources to help it grow fuller and thicker in a more conducive environment.
Many lawn weeds thrive in poorly drained and compacted soils, but core aeration alleviates both these issues to deter weed growth.

We hired Heartland for the first time last fall for a Aeration/Verticut/Overseed and had a great experience. Highly recommend them.

My family has been using Heartland for nearly 5 years now. They do all of our lawn care -- mowing, all chemical treatments, landscape beds, trimming all bushes, and also sculpting our spiral junipers. Have also used them to verticut and aerate multiple times.

Jeffrey Nichols

Using their weed control and fertilizer programs and weekly maintenance the yards and over all appearance of the property have improved dramatically. I also appreciate their professionalism.

I have been using Heartland Turf for 8 years and have the prettiest lawn on the block! They do my lawn mowing, weed control applications, leaf removal - pretty much everything to do with my lawn. Would recommend them to anyone!

At Heartland Turf & Landscape, we offer lawn aeration services throughout the Kansas City area, and we utilize core aeration as our preferred method. Core aeration is a popular, highly effective method of lawn aeration. The process involves passing over your entire lawn with our aeration machinery, which works by removing small plugs of soil and thatch from your lawn. As these plugs are removed, tiny holes are left all over your lawn, and these holes will allow your soil to decompress and provide numerous benefits as a result!
Having your soil aerated is one of the most important ways to maintain a healthy and vibrant lawn. Aeration allows the soil to absorb water, fertilizer, pesticides, and nutrients more effectively, promoting thick growth. Without proper aeration, a lawn may miss out on beneficial micro-organisms, leading to root stress and dehydration, and causing problems such as thatch buildup.
Overseeding means spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn to encourage thicker, healthier grass. This is particularly effective after aeration, as the new seeds can take advantage of the improved soil conditions. Overseeding helps to fill in bare spots, improve grass density, and enhance the overall appearance of the lawn.For more information on overseeding and to learn more about our overseeding service, check out our Overseeding Service Page. Additionally, check out these supporting blog posts about overseeding to learn more about how this process can benefit your lawn:
All Kansas City lawns could benefit from lawn aeration two times per year—one in spring and one in fall. Once we schedule the service, we will drop off marking flags. Then we notify our clients 4-5 business days before we arrive. At that time, we ask that you mark your sprinklers by turning on the system and placing a flag next to each sprinkler.
After arrival on the agreed upon date, our technicians aerate thoroughly across your lawn and carefully around your flagged areas. We make two passes to ensure full coverage, and all equipment and flags are removed before the service is complete. Remember to leave the plugs on top of your lawn to be reabsorbed into the soil. Be sure to ask us about our full service overseeding option, which includes aeration, verticutting, seeding, and a starter fertilizer.
