Welcome to Dave's Lawn Aeration Service
We provide professional core aeration for our local neighbors in Ludlow and Wilbraham. Our passion is helping lawns grow greener and stronger by using specialized aerator machines to relieve compacted soil, so more air, water, and nutrients can reach the root zone. We recommend aerating and overseeding in the Fall or Spring, when soil temperatures are optimal for grass seed germination. If you’re searching for a local lawn aeration company that shows up on schedule and cares about results, trust our family owned business to improve and restore your yard.
Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and Overseeding
Aeration and overseeding helps lawns recover from summer and winter damage, repairing bare spots and thin areas quickly before weeds establish and take over. We use the most updated core aeration machines allowing us to pull quality plugs consistently across your entire lawn. These hollow tines penetrate through the thatch layer and eject cores onto the turf surface where they can be utilized as a protective layer for new grass seed to germinate. New advances in grass seed cultivators are much stronger, improving disease resistance as well as heat and drought stress.
