If your grass gets lots of traffic, or is planted on heavy clay, it’s likely far more compacted than you realize. That means air, water and nutrients will have a harder time reaching the roots, and that eventually translates into patchy, tired-looking grass. Aeration breaks up the soil so that your lawn has space to breathe and grow.
Our aeration service relieves compacted soil, facilitates better water uptake and prepares soil for deeper root growth and overseeding. Common signs your lawn needs aeration:
In older communities, like New Rochelle, Pelham, Scarsdale and Larchmont, where there is lots of shade and tight spaces, there is older soil, and aerating is even more mandatory.
We begin with a thorough core aerating session with the most powerful commercial equipment. It pulls small plugs of soil, relieving pressure on your roots and making room for nutrients and water to soak in. We do provide liquid aeration for those lawns requiring a bit of a lighter hand.
Spike aeration or a combination of techniques may be used in high-traffic areas or troubled spots. All lawns are not created equal, so we cater our approach to the type of soil you have and the type of thatch that might be related to your lawn care goals.
Many of our Westchester clients couple aeration with overseeding or topdressing in order to speed things up and thicken the growing force. We give full lawn renovation services twice a year in the Spring and Fall.
Want thicker, healthier grass? Aeration and overseeding are better together. This is just one of the professional lawn care services you can get from us.
The best times to aerate are early spring and fall, when cool-season grasses like fescue and ryegrass are growing strong. Aerating during these windows helps your grass recover faster and gives seeds the best chance to sprout.
Ideal aeration windows:
Once a year will do for most lawns. But if you have poor drainage on your property, heavy clay soil or a lot of traffic, we may advise twice a year. And we have emergency / same-day aeration for when you need results right away.
We work with Westchester County residents and neighboring homeowners, HOAs, property managers and commercial clients including:
We also do work in schools as well as luxury estates, executive homes and anywhere that deserves high level curb appeal. View all of our lawn care services in our gallery.

How do you aerate?
For most lawns we do core aeration, pulling small plugs of soil to reduce compaction. We also provide a liquid and spike aeration as per your soil condition.
How do I tell if my lawn needs aeration?
If you see water pooling or bare patches in your lawn, notice runoff or feel like your lawn is rock hard, it’s time to aerate. Clay soil or lots of foot traffic are also indicators.

Annual aeration is a good practice for most lawns. But if your soil remains compacted or if you are continually fighting drainage issues, then spring and fall aeration might be best.
