Our 7-Step Program

Round 1 - Early March

An early dose of slow-release fertilizer provides essential nutrients, plus crabgrass pre-emergent is applied. Timing is crucial to effectively prevent and control crabgrass for the season.

A second application of crabgrass pre-emergent plus fertilizer is applied to extend control into the summer months.

At this time, we also blanket spray the lawn for broadleaf weeds killing them before they’re ever visible to clean up any early season growth

These rounds are completed together during the same visit.

  • Application of a slow-release early summer fertilizer
  • Spot treatment of any visible broadleaf or grassy weeds
  • Application of grub control at optimal timing to protect the lawn from insect damage
  • Nutsedge control is available as an add-on to your treatment program, particularly following a wet season.
Application of an organic, non-burning fertilizer along with a humic soil conditioner to improve soil health. During this visit, we actively monitor for any signs of these weeds and treat as needed with post-emergent applications:
  • Broadleaf weeds
  • Crabgrass breakthrough
Nutsedge control is available as an add-on to your treatment program, particularly following a wet season.

As summer heat breaks, this is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding.

  • Thorough aeration 
  • Overseeding with approximately 5 lbs of premium tall fescue per 1,000 sq ft 
  • Additional seed applied in thinner or bare areas 
  • Starter fertilizer applied to promote germination 

For customers not selecting aeration and overseeding:

  • A fall slow-release fertilizer is applied 
  • Spot treatment of weeds is performed 

Application of a winterizer fertilizer to prepare the lawn for winter.

This lawn care fertilizer service helps:

  • Store nutrients in the root system 
  • Promote a stronger, healthier lawn coming out of dormancy in the spring 

Why Aeration & Overseeding Matters

Over time, soil becomes compacted and lawns begin to thin, making it hard for grass to access the air, water, and nutrients it needs to thrive.
Our lawn aeration service loosens compacted soil, improves airflow to the root system, and allows water and nutrients to penetrate more effectively. Our overseeding service thickens the lawn, improves overall appearance, and introduces fresh, healthy turf varieties suited to your property.
Together, aeration and overseeding create a stronger, more resilient lawn. We handle both services in a single visit.

Timing & Scheduling

The ideal time for aeration and overseeding is late August through September and into early October, once the summer heat begins to break.

However, we also offer flexibility based on your needs:

  • Spring yard aeration service is available by request
  • Late season aeration can be performed into November and December for dormant seeding

Our Process

We perform a thorough, professional service designed for strong results:

  • Thorough aeration to relieve compaction
  • Overseeding with approximately 5 lbs of premium tall fescue per 1,000 sq ft
  • Additional seed applied in thinner or bare areas as needed
  • Starter fertilizer applied to promote seed germination

We also provide special attention to bare areas, working the soil more thoroughly and applying additional seed where needed to encourage proper fill-in.

A Service That Delivers Results

Aeration and overseeding service is one of the best investments you can make in your lawn. Whether you’re:

  • Improving a struggling lawn
  • Repairing damaged areas
  • Maintaining a high-quality lawn year after year

Give your lawn a boost from the ground up with compost topdressing. This service applies a thin layer of nutrient-rich compost across your lawn to improve soil quality, encourage deeper root growth, retain moisture, and naturally thicken turf over time. Compost topdressing pairs especially well with aeration and overseeding and can help revive compacted or stressed lawns while promoting healthier, greener growth.
