Aeration Only
Do Not Discard Cores

The cores pulled from your yard contain valuable nutrients often found in expensive fertilizer. This quality soil should not be discarded. Some customers have found success with raking cores into low spots of the yard to help with adjusting yard grade.

Lawn Treatments

Right after aeration is a perfect time to overseed, and/or fertilize your lawn or do simple lawn repairs. Seeds and nutrients have direct contact with soil through the openings.

Aeration + Overseed
Avoid Cutting Grass/ Heavy Foot Traffic for 3-4 Weeks

The newly laid grass seed needs time to catch onto the soil and germinate. This process takes roughly 3-4 weeks in order for the grass seed to achieve a strong enough base to mow.

Water, Water, and Water

It is absolutely critical to water new grass seed. Ideally you would keep the grass seed moist for 2-3 weeks. This is usually done by watering the seed for 15 minutes twice a day for the first week and 30 minutes once a day for the second and third week.

Avoid Certain Fertilizer Products

Most weed control products prevent both weeds AND grass seed from taking root. Please be sure to check online or contact us if your fertilizer is compatible with the seed we lay down!
