Aerations
Compacted soil is the silent killer of New England lawns. Years of foot traffic, mowers, and heavy clay all squeeze the air, water, and root space out of the top few inches of soil — and no amount of fertilizer fixes it.
Every Aerations job includes:
- Commercial walk-behind core aerator with hollow tines
- Overlapping passes for full coverage
- Plugs left on surface to break down naturally
- Marking of irrigation heads, valves, and shallow utilities before starting
- Optional combo with overseeding in the same visit
- Recommendation on annual vs. biannual frequency
- Method
- hollow-tine core aeration
- Season
- late summer through fall (spring also available)
- Frequency
- annual; biannual for high-traffic lawns
- Pairs With
- overseeding and starter fertilizer
- Service Area

From inquiry to results
Property check
We mark sprinkler heads, dog fence wires, and shallow utilities before any tines hit the ground.
Aeration pass
Two perpendicular passes pull plugs across the entire lawn at proper depth.
Optional overseeding
If you're overseeding, we drop seed and starter immediately — open holes are perfect seedbeds.
Aftercare guidance
Watering and mowing instructions to make sure the work pays off.

Common Questions
When should I aerate?
Late August through September is ideal in Central Mass. Spring aeration is also effective if your lawn shows compaction symptoms early.
Will aeration damage my sprinkler system?
Not if heads are marked. Please flag your irrigation heads, valves, and any shallow utilities before we arrive.
Should I clean up the plugs?
No. Leave them. They break down in 1–2 weeks and return organic matter and microbes to the soil surface.
Can I aerate every year?
Yes — annual aeration is appropriate for most lawns, and high-traffic or clay-heavy properties often benefit from twice a year.
