The Benefits of Professional Lawn Aeration
Improved Lawn Health and Appearance
Lawn aeration delivers numerous benefits that transform your property:
- Relieves soil compaction that suffocates grass roots
- Enhances nutrient absorption for greener, thicker turf
- Improves water penetration, reducing runoff and puddling
- Creates stronger, deeper root systems for drought resistance
- Reduces thatch buildup that harbors pests and disease
Enhanced Results from Overseeding
When combined with overseeding, aeration provides even greater benefits:
- Thicker Turf – Fills in bare or thin areas with new grass growth
- Improved Variety – Introduces newer, more resilient grass varieties
- Enhanced Resistance – Strengthens your lawn against disease, insects, and drought
- Extended Green Season – Different grass varieties green up and stay green at different times

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time for core aeration in Summit and Portage counties?
Fall is generally the ideal time for lawn aeration and overseeding in our region. The cooler temperatures and typically consistent moisture create optimal conditions for seed germination and reduced competition from weeds. Spring aeration can also be beneficial, particularly for heavily compacted lawns.
How often should I aerate my lawn?
For most lawns in Summit and Portage counties, annual aeration is recommended. However, high-traffic areas or properties with clay soil (which is common in our region) may benefit from twice-yearly aeration (spring and fall). We can assess your specific lawn conditions and recommend the optimal frequency.
Can I walk on my lawn after aeration?
Yes, you can walk on your lawn after aeration. The soil cores will break down naturally within 1-2 weeks. If you’ve also had overseeding done, limiting heavy traffic for 2-3 weeks will improve seed germination rates.
How soon will I see results from lawn aeration?
You’ll notice improved water absorption immediately. If combined with overseeding, new grass seedlings typically emerge within 7-14 days, with more noticeable thickening in 4-6 weeks. The full benefits of reduced compaction will become increasingly apparent over the following months.
What makes core aeration better than spike aeration?
Core aeration (which removes actual plugs of soil) is significantly more effective than spike aeration (which simply pokes holes). Core aeration creates space for roots to expand, reduces soil compaction, and allows better movement of water, air, and nutrients. Spike aeration can actually increase compaction around the holes and provides fewer benefits.
Should I combine overseeding with lawn aeration?
For the best results, we highly recommend combining overseeding with aeration. The holes created by aeration provide perfect seed-to-soil contact for optimal germination rates. This combination allows you to introduce newer, more resilient grass varieties while addressing soil compaction issues, giving you a thicker, healthier lawn with a single service visit.
