    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common questions about lawn aeration services.

    When is the best time to aerate?

    Cool-season grasses (fescue, bluegrass) benefit most from fall aeration. Warm-season grasses (bermuda, zoysia) should be aerated in late spring.

    How long before I see results?

    You will typically see improved water absorption within 1–2 weeks and denser turf within 4–6 weeks after a combined aeration and overseeding treatment.
