The Process
Mow & Prep
We recommend the lawn be mowed relatively short before we begin, allowing seed to reach the soil.
Core Aeration
We run heavy aerators across the lawn to pull soil plugs, relieving compaction and opening pathways for water and air.
Overseeding
We apply a generous, even layer of climate-appropriate grass seed that falls into the aeration holes for optimal soil contact.
Fertilization
A targeted application of starter fertilizer provides the immediate nutrients the new seed needs to root.
Pricing Details
Pricing is based on the square footage of the lawn area being treated. Bundling aeration, seeding, and fertilization together provides the best value and results.

Common Questions
When is the best time to aerate and seed?
Early fall is the optimal time for cool-season grasses (like Fescue), allowing them to establish before winter.
Do you rake up the soil plugs?
No, the soil plugs are left on the lawn to break down naturally over a few weeks, which returns beneficial topsoil and microbes to the turf.
How much do I need to water after seeding?
You will need to water lightly 1-2 times daily to keep the seed moist until it germinates (usually 10-14 days).
