Core Aeration Service in Bristow, VA & Surrounding Cities Like Haymarket & Manassas

Double-pass aeration is implemented and is performed in the fall.

If your lawn's soil is compacted, it can block essential resources from reaching the roots of the grass. Fortunately, our team at Patriot Lawn and Landscape offers a core aeration service to loosen compacted soil and improve nutrient access to your lawn's roots. This service involves doing two passes across your lawn with the aerator machine to ensure we pull up as many cores as possible and maximize the benefits of this process. You can schedule this service in the fall, from September to October, as this is the best time to do it so your turf can withstand it and recover quickly afterward. It's also best to pair core aeration with overseeding to fill in bare and patchy areas with new grass growth!

We provide our core aeration service to residential properties in Bristow, Haymarket, Manassas, and other nearby areas in Virginia. Call us at (703) 244-7798 to sign up today!


The Process of Aerating Your Lawn

Cores of soil on a lawn in Bristow, VA, after aeration.

We follow a thorough process for our core aeration service to ensure it is done correctly to yield optimal results. During the visit to your property, we will make two passes across your entire lawn with our aerator machine. This machine will pull up plugs of soil, creating tiny holes in the ground. The first pass will loosen the soil, then the second will give us a better chance of pulling up as many cores as possible to maximize the benefits of this process. Creating more holes in the soil will provide your lawn with enough channels for nutrients to pass through and reach the roots, improving its nutrient uptake and bolstering its root system.


When can you schedule core aeration?

Core aeration is highly beneficial for your lawn, but it can be stressful for it if done at the wrong time. Because of this, it's best to do it when your grass is at its strongest to withstand it and recover quickly afterward. You can schedule core aeration in the fall from September to October. This is the ideal time of the year to aerate your cool-season lawn because the cooler temperatures provide optimal conditions for your grass to endure the process and bounce back before winter dormancy sets in.


Pair Core Aeration With Our Overseeding Service

While core aeration is highly beneficial for your lawn, you can take it a step further by pairing it with our overseeding service! This service involves spreading tall fescue grass seeds on your lawn to fill in bare and patchy areas with fresh, new growth. It is most effective when done immediately after core aeration because the holes left in the soil provide the perfect spot for the seeds to fall into. Doing this will give the grass seeds better soil contact and increase the chances of successful germination. Not only that, but they'll also have improved access to much-needed resources to develop into new, healthy grass quicker. By pairing these services together, you can reap the benefits of both and boast a thicker, lusher lawn in no time!

After overseeding, a starter fertilizer will be applied to boost the germination of the grass seeds.
