Aeration and overseeding keep your lawn thick, healthy, and resilient. At Augusta Lawn Care of East Springfield, we use a core aerator that pulls plugs from the soil before broadcasting seed across your yard. This relieves compaction in our heavy clay soils, allowing roots to grow deeper and access water more easily. Annual aeration is recommended, with spring and fall being the best times, though fall offers the greatest benefit. Unlike spike aerators, which actually worsen compaction, our core method builds long-term lawn health.
For lawns with larger bare areas, we may suggest slice seeding, which is a more intensive renovation. This process uses a seeder/slicer machine to cut seed into the soil and is always combined with aeration and overseeding. We apply double the amount of seed for strong coverage and healthy regrowth. Whether you choose aeration, overseeding, or slice seeding, our services help Springfield, MO homeowners enjoy thicker turf and stronger root systems year after year.
