Core and Liquid Aeration and Overseeding in Metro Atlanta

Georgia red clay packs down hard. When it does, water runs off, roots stay shallow and fertilizer can’t reach the grass. We offer two aeration add-ons, plus overseeding, that you can pair with either of our programs. Every program is backed by the Masterpiece Guarantee.

Add-on services. Core Aeration, Liquid Aeration and Overseeding can be added to Healthy Lawn Essential or Healthy Lawn Elite.

What core aeration does

A core aerator pulls thousands of small plugs of soil out of the lawn and leaves them on top to break down. The holes relieve compaction, let water soak in instead of running off and give new roots room to grow. It is one of the most useful things you can do for a lawn on Henry, Clayton, Fulton or Gwinnett County clay.

What liquid aeration does

Liquid aeration is a soil treatment that helps loosen compacted soil, improve soil structure and help roots grow deeper, so grass can take in water and nutrients more easily. It is a separate add-on from core aeration, and we offer both.

Overseeding: fescue in the fall

Tall fescue grows in clumps and does not spread to fill bare spots, and Georgia summers thin it every year. Fall is when fescue gets aerated and overseeded, usually September into October, while the soil is still warm and the air is cooling off. Aerating first gives the seed good soil contact.

Overseeding: Bermuda in early spring

For Bermuda lawns, overseeding is done in early spring, so the new grass has the whole growing season to establish. Core aeration for Bermuda works best while it is actively growing, from late spring into early summer, so it fills the holes quickly.

Planned around your pre-emergent

Pre-emergent stops grass seed from sprouting the same way it stops weeds. All needed pre-emergent applications are included in your program to control weeds year round, and when you overseed we time them around your seeding so the new grass gets established first.

Small yards to large acreage

We aerate and overseed everything from compact city lots to large properties. Your price is based on the size of the area treated. Call us or send the quote form and tell us how much of the lawn you want done.

Aeration & Overseeding questions

When is the best time to aerate and overseed in Atlanta?

It depends on your grass. Fescue is aerated and overseeded in the fall, usually September into October. Bermuda is overseeded in early spring, and Bermuda and zoysia are core aerated while actively growing, from late spring into early summer.

Do you offer liquid aeration?

Yes. Liquid aeration is a separate add-on service. It helps loosen compacted soil, improve soil structure and help roots grow deeper, so grass can take in water and nutrients more easily. We also offer core aeration, which pulls plugs of soil.

Is core aeration better than spike aeration?

Yes. Spike aerators push holes into the soil and can pack the clay even tighter around them. Core aeration removes plugs of soil, which actually relieves compaction.

What should I do with the soil plugs?

Leave them. They break down on their own in a week or two with rain and mowing, and they return soil and nutrients to the surface.

Can I add aeration and overseeding to my program?

Yes. Core aeration, liquid aeration and overseeding are add-on services you can add to either Healthy Lawn Essential or Healthy Lawn Elite. Call (770) 462-9028 or note it on the quote form.

Will pre-emergent stop my new grass seed?

It can, which is why we plan for it. All needed pre-emergent applications are included in your program, and when you overseed we time them around your seeding so the new grass gets established first.

What is the Masterpiece Guarantee?

The Masterpiece Guarantee is our promise that you will see results. There are no contracts, so you can stop the service at any time. The full details are in our Terms of Service.
