Give your lawn a green-up.
With aeration, overseeding, and fertilizing this fall.
Psst… For every lawn aerated, we donate a portion to the Optimist Club!
Aeration allows vital nutrients, water, sunlight, and oxygen to reach the grass roots.
Our Aeration Mission
At Optimism Aeration we’re committed to making the most perfectly delightful little nutrient-absorbing holes in your lawn. We love grass and hope to help lawns all over Kitchener-Waterloo realize their full potential. We also love making the world a better place. That’s why we donate a portion of our profit to charity. This year we’ve chosen to donate to the Optimist Club, an organization that devotes their time to support the youth of their communities. We’re making grass greener one lawn at a time and helping the local kids out too… everybody wins.
For every lawn aerated, we donate a portion to the Optimist Club.
You Win.
Optimism Aeration can help you get a lawn your neighbours will envy. Nothing beats stepping out in your bare feet onto soft lush grass. Your lawn can be a place for you to play with the kids, throw a ball around, or just hang out on. You’ll be spending more time on your lawn than in your house.
The Kids Win.
We want to help the kids out. Not just with green grass to play on, but with activities and programs that give them the best chance at success. We do this by giving part of our earnings to one of the local Optimist Clubs of Ontario. Learn more about the Optimist Club and the amazing work they do.
Because we get to aerate. At Optimism Aeration, we love aerating and all things grass. Just the thought of those nourishing holes in the grass gets us up in the morning. We can’t wait for that time of year when we can finally pull our aerators out and push each lawn to be the greenest it can be.

The Benefits of Aeration
Aeration allows vital nutrients, water, sunlight, and oxygen to reach the grass roots. Here’s how it works:
Before Aeration
Soil naturally becomes compacted from use and winter weather. This causes your grass to have a shallow, weak root system.
Aeration
Aeration puts small holes in your lawn to allow air, nutrients, and water to penetrate the grass roots deeply. The plugs of core pulled from the holes slowly dissolve on top of the grass leaving even more nutrients.
After Aeration
Deeper roots start to grow after aeration. In 6-8 weeks your lawn will have a greener, healthier look. New growth crowds out weeds, and fewer insects are able to survive.
Aeration is best done twice a year, once in April/May and again in September/October. It’s a good idea to overseed and fertilize along with aerating — this additional maintenance helps make lawns thicker, greener and more resilient to drought and disease.
