What is Lawn Aeration?

Lawn aeration is the process of mechanically removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to relieve compaction and improve airflow to the roots. It allows water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the grass more effectively—especially in high-traffic areas or lawns with heavy clay soil.

Benefits of Aeration Include:

• Reduced soil compaction

• Improved water and nutrient absorption

• Stronger, deeper root systems

• Thicker, healthier turf growth

• Better drought and disease resistance

What is Overseeding?

Overseeding involves spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn to fill in thin or bare patches and enhance turf density. It’s especially effective when combined with aeration, as the seed settles into the freshly created holes for maximum germination.

Benefits of Overseeding Include:

• Fills in bare or thinning areas

• Introduces newer, more disease-resistant grass varieties

• Enhances color and density

• Helps crowd out weeds naturally

• Extends the overall life of your lawn

The Best Time for Aeration & Seeding in Folsom

In Folsom’s climate, early fall is the ideal time to aerate and overseed. The cooler temperatures and increased moisture help new grass establish strong roots before winter. Spring is also a suitable time if you missed the fall window.

We use commercial-grade core aerators and premium-quality seed blends tailored to your property’s sun, shade, and soil conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions – Aeration & Overseeding in Folsom, CA

Q: How do I know if my lawn needs aeration?

A: If your lawn feels hard, has water pooling, or shows thinning grass, it’s likely compacted. Heavy foot traffic, clay soil, and brown patches are common signs that aeration will benefit your lawn.

Q: How often should I aerate my lawn?

A: Most lawns in Folsom benefit from aeration once a year, usually in the fall. If you have clay-heavy soil or high traffic, we may recommend aerating in both spring and fall for maximum results.

Q: What kind of seed do you use for overseeding?

A: We use premium, climate-appropriate seed blends, including fescue, ryegrass, and bluegrass. We select your seed based on sunlight levels, irrigation, and your lawn’s current condition during overseeding services.

Q: Will aeration damage my sprinkler system or cables?

A: No. We ask that all sprinkler heads, valve boxes, and underground wires are marked prior to service. Our crew takes care to avoid irrigation and sprinkler systems.

Q: How long does it take for overseeding to show results?

A: Germination typically begins within 7–14 days. Full results are seen within 4–6 weeks, especially when watered properly and combined with fertilization.

Q: Should I mow before or after aeration and seeding?

A: Yes. Mow your lawn shorter than usual before service. After overseeding, avoid mowing for 2–3 weeks so seedlings can establish strong roots.

Q: Do I need to water after aeration and seeding?

A: Yes. Light, frequent watering (1–2 times daily) is critical for 2–3 weeks. Gradually shift to deeper, less frequent watering as the new grass matures.

Q: Can I walk on the lawn after overseeding?

A: It’s best to minimize foot traffic for 2–3 weeks. If possible, keep pets and children off the lawn during germination to prevent seed disruption.

Q: What’s the difference between spike aeration and core aeration?

A: Core aeration pulls plugs of soil and provides deeper relief for compaction. Spike aeration can sometimes worsen compacted conditions. We use core aeration exclusively for better root development.

Q: Is overseeding better than installing sod?

A: Overseeding is cost-effective and ideal for improving an existing lawn. If your yard has bare patches or severe damage, sod installation may be the better option for instant results.
