Aeration & Overseeding Services

Give your lawn the foundation it needs to thrive. Eagle Landscaping offers professional core aeration and overseeding services designed to relieve soil compaction, promote deep root growth, and help your grass grow thicker, greener, and healthier.

Over time, soil becomes compacted from foot traffic, weather, and regular mowing—making it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots. Aeration opens up the soil, while overseeding fills in thin or bare areas with fresh grass seed, improving density and color. Together, these treatments rejuvenate your lawn and keep it vibrant season after season.

Benefits of Lawn Aeration & Overseeding

Regular aeration and overseeding improve your lawn’s health by increasing oxygen flow, nutrient absorption, and moisture retention. These treatments help roots grow deeper, strengthen turf density, and enhance drought resistance—resulting in a fuller, more vibrant lawn that thrives year after year.

Aeration & Overseeding Service FAQs

  • For most Tennessee lawns, we recommend aerating once a year, typically in the spring or fall. Lawns with heavy foot traffic, clay soil, or drainage issues may benefit from aeration twice a year to maintain strong root growth and healthy turf.

  • The best time for aeration is early spring or early fall, when grass is actively growing and can recover quickly. These seasons provide the ideal balance of moisture and temperature for new root development and stronger turf density.

  • Yes — lightly water your lawn one day before aeration. Moist soil allows the aerator to penetrate more effectively, creating clean, deep cores that help air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. Avoid overwatering, as muddy conditions can make aeration less effective.

  • Absolutely. Aeration and overseeding work best when done together — aeration opens the soil, and overseeding fills in bare or thin spots for a thicker, greener lawn.

  • While you may notice improved drainage and texture right away, the most visible results—thicker, greener grass—usually appear within a few weeks as new roots develop and the lawn fills in. Regular aeration helps sustain these long-term results year after year.
