Aeration and Overseeding
Northeast Ohio lawns go through heavy use and summer stress, so fall is the ideal time to rebuild.
While most lawns see great results from our Fertilization and Weed Control Programs alone, aeration, overseeding, and slice seeding are available as add-ons that loosen soil, improve seed-to-soil contact, and thicken thin spots. Aeration + overseeding are already included in our Extreme Green Program; if you’re on Greening or Greening Plus, you can add them as an upgrade!
*These services require an active Fertilization and Weed Control plan.

Learn MoreHow These Services Work Together
Step 1 - Aeration
Our first step is aeration, which loosens compacted soil and reduces thatch buildup by pulling small plugs from the lawn. This creates open channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone—perfectly preparing the lawn for seeding.
Step 2 - Overseeding
Once the ground has been aerated and the soil loosened, we apply a broadcast layer of premium seed across the entire lawn. This ensures even coverage and helps the turf thicken uniformly.
Step 3 - Slice Seeding
Next, we use our slice seeder to cut precise grooves into the lawn and place seed directly into the soil. This targeted method delivers reliable growth in bare or problem areas where surface seeding alone might not take.
Outcome
Fall lawn services leading to a thicker, healthier lawn with deeper roots, stronger drought tolerance, and fewer weeds next season.

Core Aeration
Core aeration gives your lawn’s roots better access to air, water, and nutrients so the turf can thrive next year.
If you have the Extreme Green Add-On, you’re already receiving this service!
Liquid Aeration
Liquid aeration is a liquid application that helps loosen compacted soil and supports healthy root growth. It’s a great alternative to core aeration, and avoids the need to mark anything beforehand (such as sprinkler systems or invisible fences).
Overseeding
Overseeding introduces fresh seed to existing turf to boost density, health and resilience. Note that is does not repair bare areas. For that, see slice-seeding.

Slice Seeding
Slice seeding repairs bare, damaged, and weed-filled areas by placing seed directly into shallow grooves for maximum soil contact during fall, when conditions support deep rooting.
