Why aeration & seeding works
Aeration opens the soil, and seeding fills in density—together they’re the foundation for a thicker lawn.
Relieves soil compaction so roots can grow deeper
Improves water and nutrient movement into the soil
Boosts lawn density and helps crowd out weeds over time
Repairs thin areas and improves overall turf performance
What to expect
- Visible cores/holes after aeration (that’s normal) which break down over time
- Germination typically begins in 7–21 days depending on weather and watering
- New grass continues thickening for several weeks through the fall
- Consistent watering is the #1 factor for great results
Aftercare essentials
- Water lightly 2x/day at first to keep the seed moist (not soaked)
- Avoid heavy foot traffic until seedlings establish
- Hold off on mowing until new grass is tall enough to cut safely
- Avoid herbicides until new grass is established (we will advise timing)
- Don't allow leaves to lay on the lawn for more than 3 days
FAQ
Why do aeration & seeding in the fall?
Fall offers cooler temperatures, fewer weeds competing, and better growing conditions for cool-season grasses like tall fescue. It’s the best window for thickening turf.
What type of seed do you use?
We use premium tall fescue, chosen for durability and performance in South Jersey conditions.
Will this fix bare spots?
When watered correctly, the new seed will take hold and noticeably thicken thin and bare areas.
How soon can I use my lawn after seeding?
Light use is usually fine once seedlings establish, but avoid heavy traffic early on. Following watering and mowing guidance helps protect new growth.
