Aeration & Seeding Services

The Secret to Beautiful Turf in PA, NJ and DE

Even the healthiest lawns need help bouncing back after a long, stressful season.

Heat, foot traffic, drought, and soil compaction can all weaken your turf, leaving it thin, patchy, and vulnerable to weeds.

Our aeration and seeding service opens the soil and drops seed directly into the holes, ensuring maximum seed-to-soil contact for a denser, healthier lawn.

Why Aeration & Seeding Matters

Over time, soil compaction restricts airflow and nutrient movement, preventing roots from reaching their full potential.

Together, aeration and seeding:

  • Relieve soil compaction and boost root development
  • Improve water and nutrient absorption
  • Fill in thin or bare spots
  • Crowd out weeds naturally
  • Promote a stronger, greener, more resilient lawn

Process & Timing

The best time to aerate and seed cool-season lawns is late summer through early fall, when temperatures are ideal for seed germination and root growth.

Core Aeration & Precision Seeding

  • Our state-of-the-art Stinger machine aerates and seeds your lawn simultaneously.
  • It removes soil cores to open the ground while placing premium seed directly into the holes for perfect seed-to-soil contact.

Soil Enrichment & Recovery

  • As the soil loosens and oxygen flows back in, your turf naturally thickens and strengthens.
  • This process improves drainage, enhances nutrient uptake, and sets the stage for new seedlings to thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is lawn aeration and why does my lawn need it?

Aeration removes small plugs of soil to loosen compacted ground. This helps air, water, and nutrients reach the roots, leading to stronger, greener grass.

When is the best time to aerate and seed my lawn?

Late summer to early fall is ideal. Cooler temps and warm soil help new grass take root. Spring is a good backup option.

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Most lawns need it once a year. If your soil is heavy or gets lots of foot traffic, yearly aeration is even more important.

How soon can I mow after aeration and seeding?

Wait at least two to three weeks before mowing.

How long does it take to see new grass growth?

You’ll usually see new growth in 1–3 weeks, depending on the grass type and watering.

Will aeration damage my sprinkler system or invisible dog fence?

Please mark sprinkler heads and let us know where your dog fence is so we can avoid them during service.

Should I rake up the soil plugs after aeration?

No need. Leave them on the lawn—they’ll break down naturally and help your soil.
