Lawn Aeration Services

What does aerating your lawn do? 

Aerating your lawn offers several benefits, including soil compaction reduction and enhanced soil permeability. By removing approximately 1" plugs, grass roots are better equipped to absorb water, fertilizer, and lime while ensuring the soil remains loose enough for healthy growth. 

When is the best time to have my lawn aerated? 

For cool season grasses like Fescue, the ideal time for lawn aeration in Roanoke, VA is during August, September or October, depending on that year’s weather conditions. By aerating in the fall, the grass has the maximum time for root development for summer heat and droughts. 

Does Lauman Landscaping Services offer additional services with aeration? 

Yes, we provide a range of aeration services, including overseeding, lime, fertilizer, and top dressing to complement your lawn aeration needs. 

What type of seed does Lauman Landscaping Services use? 

We utilize a blend of 100% Tall Fescue seed, selecting either a shade or sun blend based on the amount of light your lawn receives.

How often should you have your lawn aerated and overseeded?

Most lawns benefit from aeration once a year to minimize soil compaction and maximize the amount of water and nutrients absorbed. Overseeding once a year helps keep lawns thick and healthy, filling in bare spots with new grass.  

Are the different service options for aeration priced separately?
