Question 1

What is core aeration and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from your lawn to relieve compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. This is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn in Wisconsin where soil can become dense over time.

Question 2

What does overseeding do?

Accepted Answer

Overseeding adds new grass seed to your existing lawn to fill in thin or patchy areas. This helps create a thicker, more uniform lawn while improving overall turf density.

Question 3

When is the best time for aeration and overseeding in Wisconsin?

Accepted Answer

The best time is typically fall, when temperatures are cooler and conditions are ideal for seed germination. Spring can also be done, but fall generally produces the best results.

Question 4

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Accepted Answer

Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year. Heavily compacted or high-traffic lawns may benefit from more frequent aeration.

Question 5

Do I need to water after overseeding?

Accepted Answer

Yes — consistent watering is critical. Newly seeded areas should be watered daily for the first 2–3 weeks to ensure proper germination and establishment.

Question 6

Will aeration damage my lawn?

Accepted Answer

No — aeration may temporarily leave small plugs on the surface, but these break down naturally and are part of the process. This actually improves lawn health.

Question 7

Do you remove the plugs after aeration?

Accepted Answer

No — the plugs are left on the lawn to break down naturally, returning nutrients back into the soil.

Question 8

Can you aerate around sprinkler heads and tight areas?

Accepted Answer

We do our best to cover all accessible areas, but tight spaces or areas with obstacles may be skipped if the equipment cannot safely operate there.

Question 9

Will overseeding fix all bare spots?

Accepted Answer

Overseeding will significantly improve thin and patchy areas, but results depend on watering, sunlight, soil conditions, and overall lawn health.
