Aeration and Overseeding in West Michigan
Are you dealing with a thin, uneven lawn? Our aeration and overseeding service is designed to revitalize your turf, promoting healthier, more robust grass growth. By addressing common lawn challenges like soil compaction and bare spots, we help you achieve a healthy, green lawn that stands out.
Benefits of our service include:
- Alleviates Soil Compaction: Core aeration relieves compacted soil, creating pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. This encourages deeper root growth and healthier turf.
- Enhances Nutrient Absorption: Aeration improves the soil's ability to absorb essential nutrients, ensuring your grass gets the nourishment it needs for consistent growth.
- Promotes Root Development: By loosening the soil, aeration helps roots expand and strengthen, resulting in a lawn that is better equipped to handle stress.
- Improves Resistance to Drought and Disease: Healthier grass with stronger roots is naturally more resilient, making your lawn less vulnerable to drought, pests, and diseases.
- Fills Bare Spots: Overseeding after aeration introduces high-quality, locally adapted grass seed to your lawn. This helps fill in thin or bare areas, improving the lawn’s density and appearance.
With 75 years of combined experience, we provide expert lawn care tailored to your needs. Our no-contract service starts with a free in-person inspection to evaluate your lawn's condition and create a customized plan. Contact us today to get started!

Signs Your Lawn Needs Aeration and Overseeding
A healthy lawn requires proper care to thrive. If your yard shows any of the following signs, it may be time for aeration and overseeding to restore its vitality.
- Soil Compaction: Hard, compacted soil prevents air, water, and nutrients from reaching the roots, leading to poor grass growth.
- Thinning Grass: If your lawn looks sparse or uneven, overseeding can introduce new grass varieties to thicken it up.
- Bare Spots: Patches of exposed soil where grass has died or failed to grow are strong indicators that overseeding is needed.
- Water Runoff: Excess water pooling or running off instead of soaking into the ground suggests compacted soil that could benefit from aeration.
- Heavy Foot Traffic: Lawns subjected to frequent use may develop compacted soil and require aeration to alleviate stress.
- Thatch Buildup: A layer of thatch thicker than ½ inch can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the soil. Aeration helps break up this barrier.
- Pest or Disease Damage: Overseeding can help repair damaged areas and introduce disease-resistant grass varieties to improve lawn health.
- Seasonal Stress: After hot, dry summers or harsh winters, lawns may struggle to recover, making spring or fall aeration and overseeding essential.
Addressing these signs promptly ensures your lawn stays healthy and ready to withstand seasonal challenges. Our expert aeration and overseeding services are designed to tackle these issues and revitalize your yard.
