Frequently Asked Questions

Does my lawn need aeration?

Lawn aeration is the process of removing small soil plugs to relieve compaction and improve airflow, water absorption, and nutrient uptake. Many lawns have compacted clay type soil making aeration essential for healthy grass growth.

When is the best time to aerate a lawn?

The best time to aerate lawns in Massachusetts is early Fall between mid August and October or in the Spring during April and May. Temperatures during these periods allow cool season grass to recover quickly and develop stronger root systems.

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Most residential lawns should be aerated once per year. Lawns with heavy foot traffic, compacted soil, or thinning grass may benefit from annual aeration and overseeding.

Should I overseed after aerating?

Overseeding with cool season grass seed after aerating is recommended as part of a regular lawn care program. Overseeding annually maintains a thicker, healthier lawn that naturally blocks out invasive weeds.
