Lubbockscape provides core aeration and lawn leveling in Lubbock, TX 79424 for yards that are hard, bumpy, puddle after storms or shed water before it soaks in. Aeration opens compacted soil so water and roots can move down, and leveling fills low spots so the lawn is smooth, safe and easier to mow.
Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil out of the lawn, usually 2 to 3 inches deep. The holes let water, air and fertilizer reach roots instead of running off the surface.
Lubbock yards combine clay loam soils, a caliche layer and heavy foot traffic. With watering limited to two assigned days a week, water that runs off is water the lawn never gets. Aeration is one of the most effective ways to make every watering count.
Aerate warm-season lawns (Bermuda, zoysia, buffalograss) in late spring to early summer, once the grass is actively growing, usually May through June. We avoid aerating dormant grass and the hottest, driest weeks unless the lawn is irrigated.
Lawn leveling fixes uneven yards by spreading a thin layer of leveling mix over the grass and working it into low areas. The grass grows up through the mix, and the surface smooths over several weeks.
Deep holes and trenches over a few inches are filled and packed with soil first, then top dressed. Level Bermuda and zoysia lawns from May through July, when they're growing fast enough to push through the mix within a few weeks.
Aeration of all turf areas, sprinkler heads flagged first, plugs left to break down.

Aerators can break shallow sprinkler heads and lines. Before we start, we run your system or locate every head and mark it with flags. If a line is shallower than normal, we note it and work around it. For broken or poorly spaced heads, see sprinkler repair.
Lawn leveling in 79424 and 79423 is often about settling — newer homes sit on graded fill, and trenches from utility and sprinkler lines sink over the first few years. In older ZIPs like 79410, 79411 and 79412, bumps usually come from tree roots and decades of soil movement.
