Renew Your Tired Lawn With Aeration and Seeding
Is your lawn showing signs of stress? Aeration and seeding can revitalize tired turf, allowing water and nutrients to reach roots where they're needed most—especially after our harsh winters.
Lawn Aeration & Overseeding Service in Ohio
Is your grass thin or patchy despite your best efforts? Your lawn might need more than just fertilizer and water to thrive. Compacted soil prevents nutrients from reaching roots, leaving grass weak and prone to bare spots.
Our aeration and seeding service breaks through this barrier by creating thousands of small holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the soil. For cool-season lawns in our area, fall is ideal for this service, while spring works better for warm-season grasses like Bermuda and zoysia.
Here's why homeowners choose Aeration & Overseeding from Turfpro Plus Inc:
- Professional core aeration that truly penetrates compacted soil
- Premium grass seed varieties selected for our specific growing conditions
- Convenient scheduling during optimal seasonal windows
- Straightforward pricing with no hidden fees or pressure
- Experienced technicians with 7 years of local lawn knowledge
Don't waste another season watching your lawn struggle. Our aeration and seeding service gives your grass what it needs to fill in those troublesome bare patches and develop stronger roots for a healthier, thicker lawn you'll enjoy year after year.
Get Your Lawn Back on Track With Professional Care
A healthy, thriving lawn doesn't happen by accident. When you notice water pooling instead of absorbing, spongy areas when you walk, or worn patches in high-traffic spots, these are clear signs your soil needs aeration and seeding. Our annual aeration and seeding service provides exactly what your tired lawn needs to breathe again and fill in those bare spots.
What Happens During Your Lawn Renovation
We take a methodical approach to revitalize your lawn:
- Assessment of your lawn's condition and grass type (cool-season like Kentucky bluegrass or warm-season varieties)
- Core aeration to break up compacted soil and allow nutrients to reach roots
- Quality seed selection matched specifically to your existing grass
- Professional application using either overseeding or power seeding techniques
- Post-service care instructions tailored to our area's growing conditions
For cool-season grasses common in our area, we recommend scheduling your annual aeration and seeding service in early fall (late August to early October) when growing conditions are ideal. This timing helps new seedlings establish strong root systems before winter sets in. If you have warm-season grass, late spring to early summer offers the best results. Our team works with your schedule to ensure optimal timing for your specific lawn type.
The freeze-thaw cycles in our area can cause soil compaction, making annual aeration particularly important. We use professional-grade equipment to remove small cores of soil, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper. This process also creates the perfect environment for new seed to make direct contact with soil, improving germination rates and helping your lawn grow thicker and more resilient against common stresses like drought and foot traffic.

Is Your Lawn Crying Out for Aeration?
A healthy lawn should bounce back when walked on and absorb water properly during rainfall. If your grass seems stressed despite regular care, it might be time for lawn aeration—especially in our area where cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue are common.
Watch for these telling signs that your lawn needs aeration:
- Water pools or runs off instead of soaking in after rain or irrigation
- Grass feels spongy or has a thick layer of thatch when you press down
- Thin patches or worn areas developing along walkways and high-traffic zones
- Soil feels hard and compacted when you try to push a screwdriver into it
- Grass struggles to recover from summer heat stress or winter damage
These symptoms are particularly common in our area where clay-rich soils tend to compact easily and cool-season grasses face seasonal challenges. Fall is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding services for most lawns in our region, allowing roots to establish before winter sets in. At Turfpro Plus Inc, we understand that lawn care is an investment, not just an expense—which is why our aeration services are designed to give you maximum value without unnecessary upsells or surprise costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to water my lawn after aeration and seeding?
Yes—consistent watering is one of the most important steps after aeration and seeding. Once the seed is down, it needs moisture to germinate and develop healthy roots. Here's what we typically recommend:
- Immediately after seeding: Lightly water the entire lawn to settle the seed into the soil and moisten the surface.
- Weeks 1–2: Water lightly once or twice a day, keeping the top inch of soil consistently damp—but not soaked. The goal is to keep the seed moist without causing runoff or puddles.
- Weeks 3–4: As the grass begins to sprout and grow, gradually reduce watering frequency but increase the amount of water per session. This encourages deeper root development.
- After 4 weeks: Watering can typically return to a regular lawn schedule (about 1 inch of water per week, including rainfall), depending on weather and grass type.
Skipping or inconsistent watering can lead to poor germination and patchy results, so staying on top of it—especially in the first few weeks—is key to a lush, healthy lawn.
How often should I aerate my lawn?
Most lawns benefit from aeration once a year, especially if they experience heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or signs of compaction or thinning.
Should I aerate before seeding my lawn?
Yes, aerating before seeding is one of the best ways to ensure successful seed germination. Aeration loosens compacted soil and creates small holes or “pockets” that give new grass seed direct contact with the soil—this improves seed-to-soil contact, which is essential for healthy growth. It also allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone more easily, helping both existing and new grass develop strong roots. When paired together, aeration and seeding work hand-in-hand to create a thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawn.
When is the best time to aerate and seed my lawn?
The best time to aerate and seed your lawn depends on the type of grass you have. Seeding outside of these windows can lead to poor germination or weak root development, especially if temperatures are too hot or too cold. For the best results, we also recommend pairing aeration and seeding with proper watering and fertilization tailored to your grass type.
For cool-season grasses (like fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass), the ideal time is early fall (September to October). The soil is still warm, but the air is cooler—perfect conditions for seed germination and root development. Spring (March to early May) is also a viable option, though fall typically yields better long-term results. For warm-season grasses (like Bermuda, zoysia, and centipede grass), the best time is late spring to early summer (May to June), when these grasses are actively growing. Aerating and seeding during this time gives new grass the full growing season to establish.
How do I prepare my landscape for a treatment?
There’s no need to prepare your landscape for treatment! However, you will likely need to water your lawn or landscape after the treatment to help the products work effectively and ensure results.
