AERATION & OVERSEEDING FAQ

What is Aeration & Seeding?
Core aeration is a form of lawn aeration where a series of plugs/cores are removed from your lawn.  The machine is the size of a lawn mower and operates comparably. After the cores/plugs are removed, the area then has seed broadcast over it's entirety.


What's the purpose of Aeration/Seeding?
Aeration helps reduce soil compaction and thatch buildup. The cores/plugs create an avenue for oxygen to flow through the soil, increasing overall conditions. The seeding that is applied afterwards promotes fresh grass growth for patchy/damaged areas.

​

When's the best time for an Aeration/Seeding?
For cool-season grass, early Fall is the best time of year and Spring is also optimal. Warm-season grass benefits the most from aeration/seeding late Spring, early Summer.

​

How deep are the plugs/cores?
We aim for a target depth of 2"-3" but it depends on the current site conditions and is not guaranteed. Watering the lawn before the service helps soften up the soil and is recommended.

​

How much seed is applied after aeration?
5lbs of Sun & Shade Mix per 1000 sqft of turf applied.
