Our Lawn Care Services

Core Aeration

Core aeration helps your lawn breathe by removing small plugs of soil and relieving compaction. This allows air, water, and nutrients to reach deeper into the root zone, encouraging stronger root growth and a healthier, more resilient lawn that can better withstand heat and drought.

Overseeding

Overseeding helps fill in thin areas and improve the overall thickness, color, and health of your lawn. We use Blue Tag certified seed that meets higher standards for purity and quality, giving your lawn a better chance to establish strong, healthy grass. A denser lawn crowds out weeds and reduces unwanted insects.

Organic Fertilizer

Organic fertilizer feeds the soil with organic matter to active nature's microbes. These beneficial microbes recycle grass clippings into more nutrients for a lawn that stays greener, longer. Check out Dave's personal lawn care program for a complete step-by-step guide that focuses on soil health.

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.

How much does lawn aeration cost?

Lawn aeration in Massachusetts typically costs between $20 and $30 per 1,000 square feet with a professional core aeration machine.
