What is Aeration and Overseeding?
Aeration and overseeding are both essential lawn care practices that work to promote a thicker, healthier, and more resilient lawn. Aeration involves creating small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the grassroots. Overseeding, on the other hand, involves spreading new grass seed over the existing lawn, giving it the opportunity to fill in bare patches and improve the overall lawn density.
When to Aerate and Overseed
While these services can be completed at any time of year, Spring and Fall usually provide the best results in Northeast Ohio. This is due to the cooler temperatures that Spring and Falll bring compared to the hot Summer climate.
131 Landscaping's Aeration and Overseeding Service
At 131 Landscaping, we understand the unique needs of your lawn and tailor these services to ensure your lawn thrives.
Our Process:
- Assessment: We start with a thorough assessment of your lawn's current condition to determine the best approach.
- Aeration: We use specialized equipment to perforate the soil with small holes and pull out plugs, which helps to alleviate soil compaction and promote better root growth.
- Overseeding: After aeration, we evenly spread an appropriate choice of grass seed across your lawn to promote growth and help fill in sparse areas. It is possible some larger bare areas may need to be separately seeded. See our Lawn Renovation and Seeding page for more extensive turf improvement inquiries.

Aeration and Overseeding FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our Aeration and Overseeding service here.
- What is aeration and why is it important?
Aeration involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This helps the roots grow deeply and produces a stronger, more vigorous lawn.
- How often should I aerate my lawn?
For most lawns, annual aeration is beneficial. However, high-traffic lawns or those with heavy clay soils may benefit from aeration twice a year. We can evaluate your specific needs and recommend a tailored schedule.
- Will aeration and overseeding fix bald patches on my lawn?
This depends. Aeration combined with overseeding can effectively address bald or thin patches, but larger areas may need to be separately seeded, using a process involving lightly top-dressing the area with fresh topsoil, and then installing seed, starter fertilizer, and straw to protect the newly seeded area.
- How long does it take to see results from aeration and overseeding?
You can expect to see initial improvement within a few weeks, with more significant results in a few months as the new grass (if overseeding is done) establishes and grows. The specific time frame can depend on various factors including weather, time-of-year soil condition, and lawn care practices.
- Do I need to do anything to prepare my lawn for aeration and overseeding?
Yes, preparation ensures the best results. It’s helpful to mow your lawn to a shorter height and ensure the soil is moist but not saturated. Our team will provide detailed instructions on how to prepare before we arrive and this service will be provided at an appropriate time to maximize results.
