Signs Your Lawn Needs Aeration & Seeding
If your lawn isn’t thriving, it may be time for aeration and overseeding. Consider working with The Green Team if you experience:
- Thinning grass: Bare or patchy areas can indicate weak grass or aging varieties.
- Dry patches: Spots that stay brown even with watering may result from poor root access to moisture.
- Poor water absorption: The soil may be too compacted if water pools or runs off quickly.
- Heavy foot traffic: Lawns that see frequent use often suffer from compressed soil and worn-down blades.
Get a Lush Lawn with Comprehensive Treatments
Aeration and overseeding is a two-part process that refreshes your lawn’s soil while thickening the existing grass with new growth.
This treatment will quickly produce results, so you can enjoy a beautiful lawn this fall.
What Is Lawn Aeration?
Lawn aeration is the process of penetrating the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots more easily.
Over time, the soil becomes compacted and worn down due to foot traffic, mowing, and natural settling, limiting the flow of essential resources.
Aeration breaks up this compaction, giving roots more room to breathe. The result is a healthier, stronger, and more durable lawn.
How We Aerate Your Lawn
Aeration should be done in late summer to early fall when soil conditions and temperatures support recovery and root growth; brutal hot or cold temperatures complicate the process.
Our aeration process includes:
- Flagging sprinkler heads or utility hazards
- Using a core aerator to remove plugs of soil if needed
- Overlapping passes for even coverage
- Leaving cores on the lawn to decompose naturally
What Is Lawn Overseeding?
Overseeding means adding new grass seed directly to your existing lawn without tearing up the soil; it helps create thicker, healthier grass while restoring color and improving the lawn’s overall appearance.
Overseeding can also introduce newer, improved grass varieties that are more resilient to disease, drought, and seasonal stress. It’s a simple but effective way to refresh your lawn and keep it looking full and vibrant.
How We Overseed Your Lawn
Our overseeding process is tailored to the region to ensure each client gets the best grass varieties for the area and that they meet the needs of their specific lawn.
The overseeding process includes:
- Raking to remove debris and loosen the top layer of soil
- Selecting premium grass seed suited for your lawn type
- Using machines that are calibrated to drop the proper amount of seed while aerating
- Spreading extra seed on the edges
- Comprehensive post-seeding care instructions, including watering and mowing guidance
Benefits of Aeration & Seeding
Together, aeration and overseeding offer a complete solution to restoring and strengthening your lawn. They provide many perks, including:
- Improved nutrient absorption: Breaking up the soil allows nutrients to reach the root zone quickly and more effectively.
- Better water penetration: Aerated lawns absorb moisture more efficiently, reducing runoff and waste.
- Thicker, denser grass: Overseeding fills gaps and strengthens the lawn’s overall coverage, creating a vibrant area.
- Reduced weed growth: A thick lawn leaves less room for weeds to take hold and spread.
- Higher drought tolerance: Healthier roots and newer grass varieties help the lawn withstand dry conditions.
