Aeration & Seeding
Revive compacted, thin, or patchy lawns.
Core aeration and overseeding to improve root depth, drainage, and turf density. Ideal for established lawns that have thinned over time.
Done properly, the first time.
Most tired lawns in Wellington County don't need to be torn out — they need air. Our region's heavy clay soils compact easily under foot traffic and lawn equipment, which starves grass roots of oxygen and water. Core aeration pulls thousands of small soil plugs from the lawn, relieving that compaction and letting water, air, and nutrients reach the root zone again.
We pair aeration with overseeding: a quality seed blend matched to your lawn's sun and shade conditions, spread when the freshly opened soil gives seed the best possible contact. It's the most cost-effective way to thicken an established lawn that has thinned over time.

- Core aeration across the full lawn area

Lawn assessment
We look at compaction, thatch, drainage, and shade to confirm aeration and seeding will actually solve the problem.
Core aeration
A core aerator lifts soil plugs across the lawn, opening the root zone.
Overseeding
Seed goes down immediately after aeration, when soil contact is best.
Topdressing & feeding
Where needed, a thin layer of compost or triple mix protects seed and feeds germination.
Aftercare guidance
You get simple watering and first-mow instructions so the new grass gets established.
