Core Aeration in Fort McMurray
A healthy, vibrant lawn starts below the surface. Over time, soil naturally becomes compacted, making it difficult for air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots. Core aeration mechanically removes small plugs of soil, creating natural pathways that help your lawn breathe and absorb what it needs to thrive.
At Grass Doctor, we use high-quality commercial aeration equipment and local expertise to ensure consistent, deep soil penetration tailored to Fort McMurray’s unique clay-rich soil conditions.
