Why Fall Aeration is the Secret to a Greener Spring

Most people think aeration is a summer task, but in Alaska, fall is prime time. By breaking up compacted soil before winter, you give roots the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive the freeze and rebound strong in spring.

Benefits of Fall Aeration:

• Reduces soil compaction from heavy summer traffic.

• Allows water and nutrients to penetrate deeper.

• Helps roots grow strong before dormancy.

Commercial Tie-In:
Properties with heavy foot traffic — office complexes, hospitals, retail centers — see the most benefit. Big Green’s aeration service is scheduled before the first frost to set your turf up for success.

👉 Think of aeration as a deep breath for your lawn before winter hibernation.
