Core Aeration
We use professional-grade machines to pull soil plugs from the turf. This creates channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.

What Aeration and Overseeding Do for Your Lawn
Aeration and overseeding work together to improve lawn density and root strength. Aeration loosens compacted soil, while overseeding adds new grass seed to bare or thinning areas to encourage thicker, healthier growth.
Break up compacted soil: Core aeration removes plugs of soil across your lawn. This improves water and oxygen flow to the roots.
Improve seed-to-soil contact: Overseeding works better after aeration because seeds settle into the holes. The service provides more germination and less runoff for your yard.
Fill in thin or bare patches: Overseeding targets areas where grass has died or thinned out. New growth blends into your existing lawn for a fuller look.
Boost drought resistance: A thicker lawn holds moisture longer and shades its own roots. We provide better results during dry Indiana summers.
Prep for next season: Aeration and overseeding strengthen your lawn for the months ahead. Less fertilizer is necessary, and fewer weeds will pop up down the road.

FAQs
When should I aerate and overseed in Indiana?
Fall is best, usually from late August through mid-October. Spring is also an option, but weed pressure is higher.
How soon will I see new grass?
Germination starts in 7 to 14 days, depending on temperature and watering. Full results will take 4 to 6 weeks.
Do you offer dethatching before aeration?
Yes, if your lawn has heavy thatch buildup, we can schedule detaching before your aeration and seeding. Timing is key with services such as these.
Can I mow after overseeding?
We recommend waiting 10 to 14 days or until new grass reaches 3 inches. At that point, you can resume mowing on the highest setting.
Do you water the new seed?
No, we provide watering instructions. Regular moisture is necessary during germination.
