Yard Smart offers fall core aeration and overseeding in Holden, Rutland and other Worcester County towns we serve. Core aeration removes small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and help water reach grass roots. Overseeding adds grass seed to thin areas of an existing lawn. For an estimate, tell us which parts of your lawn are thin or heavily used.

MORE INFO
BENEFITS
Improved air exchange between the soil and atmosphere.
Enhanced soil water uptake.
Improved fertilizer uptake and use. (If soil is too dense, fertilizers will wash away as water passes over the surface of the soil in-stead of into it.)
Reduced water runoff and puddling.
Stronger turfgrass roots.
Reduced soil compaction.
Enhanced heat and drought stress tolerance.
Improved resiliency and cushioning.
Enhanced thatch breakdown.
WHEN
Late Summer to Early Fall is the best time of year to aerate. Most lawns benefit from annual aeration. Heavily used lawns, or those growing on heavy clay or subsoils may need more than one aeration each year.
INDICATORS
Areas where puddles form
Areas where grass will not grow
Areas of heavy moss
High-traffic Areas. (Especially traveled by motorized vehicles)
