Lawn Aeration in Utah to Help Your Grass Breathe

Landscape Lawn Aeration in Utah That Works With You

If your lawn feels hard, looks thin, or can’t hold water—lawn aeration is probably what it needs. At Olympus Landscaping, we provide professional core aeration that helps your grass breathe, root deeper, and grow thicker.

This is one of the most underrated services in lawn care—and one of the most effective. We’ve been doing it right for over 20 years across Utah County and South Salt Lake County. So, if you’re looking for lawn aeration in Utah, you’re going to love Olympus Landscaping.

What Is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your yard to reduce compaction and let water, nutrients, and oxygen reach the roots. The result? A healthier, thicker lawn that can handle heat, foot traffic, and drought.

We use core aerators (not the spike kind), because they actually remove soil and create long-term benefits—not just poke holes.

What Lawn Aeration Helps With

Thinning grass or bare patches

Hard, compacted soil

Water runoff or pooling

Yellow or stressed turf

Poor root development

Overly thatched lawns

If your lawn isn’t growing like it should—even with watering and fertilizer—chances are it’s time to aerate.

Best Time to Aerate in Utah

We recommend aerating once per year, either in:

  • Spring (March–May) – Helps wake up the lawn after winter and prep it for growth
  • Fall (September–October) – Strengthens roots before winter and improves soil for next spring

We also offer aeration + overseeding packages in the fall to help fill in bare spots and build density.

FAQ – Landscape Design in Utah

How much does landscape design cost?

Every project is unique in its scope and complexity and so pricing can only be given after a visit and discussion of the details of the project. Some of the factors that play into the price include the square footage of the land being worked on, the type of materials being used, equipment needed for the project, and the size of team needed to complete the project. Our experts have a great experience with projects like yours and will be able to give you a fairly accurate estimate after a brief visit to the property.
We can usually complete the design phase in 2–4 weeks, depending on the season and your response time for revisions. We won’t rush you, but we will keep the ball moving.
Great! We’re happy to review your plans and either build from them or refine areas to improve durability, drainage, or plant selection.
