Core Aeration
Soil compaction is one of the most common and most overlooked causes of thin, underperforming lawns.
When soil becomes compacted, water, air, and nutrients struggle to reach the root zone. At Cher Nava Lawn Solutions, our core aeration service is designed to relieve compaction, improve soil function, and support long-term turf health.
Double Pass - Thorough Coverage
Double passes allow for greater soil penetration and improved results, particularly in compacted or high-traffic areas. Not all aeration is equal. To maximize effectiveness, our aeration process focuses on proper depth, spacing, and coverage.

FAQ:
Will core aeration damage my lawn or make it look worse?
Core aeration may leave visible soil plugs on the surface temporarily, but this is normal and part of the process. The plugs break down naturally within a few weeks and help return organic matter back into the soil.
How often should a lawn be core aerated?
Most Charlotte lawns benefit from annual aeration, especially in compacted or high-traffic areas. Lawns with heavier clay soils or frequent foot traffic may benefit from more consistent aeration over time.
How long does it take for my lawn to recover after aeration?
Most lawns recover visually within 1–2 weeks, depending on grass type, weather, and watering. Because aeration relieves stress at the root level, benefits continue well beyond what you see on the surface.
