Aeration & Overseeding
Revitalize Your Lawn with Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and overseeding are essential services for maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn. At Simply Turf, we use advanced core aeration techniques to alleviate soil compaction, improve airflow, and allow water and nutrients to reach your turf’s root zone. By pairing aeration with overseeding, we introduce high-quality grass seed to your lawn, filling in bare spots and boosting overall density.
The Key to a Stronger, Healthier Lawn
Northern Virginia lawns often suffer from compacted soil and thinning turf due to heavy use and environmental stress. Our aeration process pulls 2-3 inch plugs from the soil, opening pathways for nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach the roots. Overseeding immediately after aeration helps establish new grass growth with improved color, disease resistance, and drought tolerance. With this powerful combination, your lawn will become thicker, greener, and more resilient over time.
Certified Seed and Superior Results
Simply Turf uses only blue-tag certified seed, the highest quality available, to ensure optimal germination and performance. Our technicians broadcast 4-5 pounds of seed per 1,000 square feet, giving your lawn the best chance to thrive. Whether your goal is to repair damaged areas or enhance your lawn’s overall appearance, aeration and overseeding are vital steps for long-term success.

Everything you need to know at a glance
Most clients choose to aerate and overseed every year to maintain optimal lawn health and appearance. However, some opt to do it every other year depending on their lawn's condition and specific needs.
Before the service, ensure your lawn is free of leaves and other debris and water the lawn if the soil is dry. After the service, we recommend watering daily for 10-14 days to keep the soil moist and help the new seed germinate. Avoid mowing for about two weeks or until the new grass reaches a height of 3 inches.
We perform aeration and overseeding in the fall, from September through October. Fall is ideal because cooler temperatures and increased moisture help the new seed germinate and thrive while minimizing stress on the existing grass.
Overseeding involves spreading high-quality grass seed over your existing lawn to fill in bare spots, increase turf density, and introduce improved grass varieties. This leads to a greener, healthier lawn that’s better at resisting weeds, pests, and diseases.
