Aeration
Improve Nutrient Absorption, Fill Bare Areas, Get Healthier Grass
The Lawn Care Step You Shouldn’t Skip
There is a reason the best golf courses in the world regularly aerate – they know the benefits of aeration: stimulate grass root development to create a lush, thick lawn.
What To Expect
Lawn Inspection
Our experts carefully inspect your lawn to identify problem areas, such as compacted soil or thinning grass, and determine the best plan to restore its health and vitality.
Core Aeration
Over time, soil becomes compacted, and thatch builds up, preventing water, oxygen, and nutrients from reaching the roots. Core aeration involves removing small plugs of soil and thatch from the lawn to break up the compacted soil. These plugs should be left on the lawn, as they are rich in nutrients and will naturally break down over time, further nourishing your grass. This process allows air, water, and fertilizer to penetrate deep into the root system, promoting thicker, healthier grass that benefits most turfgrass species in Indiana.
Liquid Aeration
Brooklawn offers liquid aeration as an alternative or complementary option. Liquid aeration uses specialized treatments to loosen compacted soil and improve nutrient absorption without the need for plugs.
Overseeding
Overseeding works with the aeration process targeting lawns that are experiencing thinner turf conditions. Our technicians spread a blanket coverage of seeding over an area of your lawn to promote thickening turf and improving the overall appearance of the lawn.
Treatment Plan
For best results, we recommend annual aeration and overseeding in early fall – from September through October. Core aeration with seeding will repair those thin or brown spots on your lawn to improve the color and overall create a healthier lawn for you!

Aeration and Overseeding Made Simple
Q: How often should I have my lawn aerated?
A: For optimal results, we recommend aerating your lawn annually in the fall, typically between September and October, to ensure your lawn is prepared for the colder months.
Q: Will overseeding my lawn make it look better right away?
A: After aeration your lawn will begin to improve gradually. It will develop stronger roots and denser grass, helping repair thin or brown spots and improve overall appearance.
Q: Is overseeding necessary with aeration?
A: While not required, overseeding works well with aeration to help thicken lawns with sparse or thinning grass. It’s highly recommended to enhance the benefits and improve your lawn’s overall look.
Q: Should I water my lawn after aeration?
A: Yes, watering your lawn after aeration helps the grass recover faster and ensures the seeds from overseeding have the moisture they need to germinate. We recommend watering two times per day for the first two to three weeks so the seedings do not dry out.
