Question 1

What is core aeration?

Accepted Answer

Core aeration removes small plugs of soil throughout your lawn to relieve compaction and improve the movement of water, oxygen, and nutrients to the root system. This encourages healthier, deeper root growth

Question 2

Why should I overseed after aeration?

Accepted Answer

Aeration creates the ideal environment for new grass seed to make direct contact with the soil. Overseeding fills in thin areas, improves lawn density, and helps create a thicker, healthier lawn over time.

Question 3

When is the best time to aerate and overseed?

Accepted Answer

Fall is generally the best time because cooler temperatures and consistent moisture create ideal conditions for new grass to establish before winter. Spring aeration can also benefit some lawns depending on their condition.

Question 4

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowners begin seeing new grass germinate within 10–21 days, depending on the seed variety, weather, and proper watering. The lawn will continue to improve as the new grass becomes established.

Question 5

How should I water after overseeding?

Accepted Answer

Keep the soil consistently moist during the germination period by watering lightly and frequently. We'll provide detailed watering instructions to help maximize seed establishment.

Question 6

Should I mow after overseeding?

Accepted Answer

Avoid mowing until the new grass reaches an appropriate height, typically around 3½ to 4 inches. This allows young seedlings to become established before being cut.

Question 7

Is aeration recommended every year?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Annual core aeration is one of the most effective ways to maintain healthy soil, encourage strong root growth, and improve the overall appearance of your lawn.

Question 8

Do you offer compost topdressing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer compost topdressing as an optional upgrade to improve soil quality, increase moisture retention, and create even better conditions for seed germination and long-term lawn health.
