Core Aeration

Two Steps, One Visit

Heavy foot traffic, clay soil and years of mowing compact a lawn over time β€” core aeration physically relieves that compaction by pulling small plugs of soil out of the ground, opening channels for water, air and nutrients to reach the roots.

Overseeding right after aeration takes advantage of that freshly opened soil β€” the holes left behind give new seed direct contact with soil instead of competing with existing turf, which is what actually thickens a lawn instead of just topdressing it.

Frequently asked questions

Aeration w/ Overseed FAQs

When is the best time for aeration and overseeding?
Fall is typically the strongest window for cool-season lawns in this area β€” soil is still warm enough for seed to germinate, and there's less weed competition than in spring.
Do I need to water after overseeding?
New seed needs consistent moisture to germinate. Keep the area watered lightly and often until the new grass is established.
