Core Aeration
Break up compacted soil, increase airflow, and give your lawn the foundation it needs to thrive. Our aeration process dramatically improves nutrient absorption and overall lawn health.
Overseeding
We apply high-quality grass seed immediately after aeration for maximum germination, thickening your lawn and filling in patch areas quickly.
The Secret to a Healthier, Low-Maintenance Lawn
Most lawns in Kettering and the Dayton area develop compacted soil over time. When this happens, water can’t reach the roots — causing thin, patchy grass.
Aeration solves this by pulling cores from the soil, opening channels that:
- Allow roots to expand
- Reduce thatch buildup
- Improve fertilizer absorption
- Create the ideal environment for new seed to grow
If you want a lawn that transforms quickly, aeration + overseeding is the strongest combination.
What Will It Cost?
No mystery pricing. Core aeration runs about $13 per 1,000 square feet, or $33 with overseeding, with a $60 minimum. Put your lawn size in below for an instant estimate.
Estimate your lawn
Not sure? Estimate it from length and width
Pace out each grass area — an adult stride is close to 3 feet. Enter feet below and we will add it in.
This is an estimate, not a quote. It uses roughly $13 per 1,000 sq ft for core aeration and $33 per 1,000 sq ft with overseeding, subject to a $60 minimum. Access, slope, obstacles and lawn condition can change the figure, so a member of our team will always confirm your price before any work is scheduled.
