Aeration & overseeding
Lawns thin out over a season of heat, foot traffic, and heavy clay soil. Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil out of the lawn to relieve compaction and open the root zone to water, air, and nutrients. Overseeding then puts new grass seed into those openings so it has direct contact with the soil.
We handle aeration and overseeding as a single scheduled visit. We can add topsoil where the lawn needs it, and a fall fertilizer application when the lawn needs one. You get a clear plan for the areas that need extra seed before we start, not a one-size-fits-all pass over the whole yard.
Send your address, the approximate lawn size, and photos of the thin or bare areas. We confirm timing, scope, and pricing before we start.

Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to aerate and overseed in Northeast Ohio?
Late August through mid-September is the best window for most lawns here, when soil temperatures favor seed germination. See our blog post on core aeration and overseeding for the full timing and prep list.
Do you aerate and overseed in the same visit?
Yes. Seed goes down right after aeration so it lands in the openings the aerator leaves in the soil.
How should I care for the lawn after seeding?
Keep the soil surface consistently moist for the first two to three weeks with light, frequent watering, and keep heavy foot traffic off the area until the new grass is established.
How do I get a quote for aeration and overseeding?
