Fall Aeration & Overseeding

Fall is the best time to aerate and overseed — and slots fill fast.

Relieves Compaction

Hollow tines pull plugs from the soil, opening up airways and drainage paths so water, air, and nutrients can reach the root zone where they are needed most.

Thicker Turf Next Spring

Fresh seed dropped into aeration holes finds ideal soil contact and moisture, giving new grass the head start it needs to fill in and establish before the first frost.

Fall Is the Right Window

Cooler temperatures and natural rainfall create the perfect conditions for germination. Overseeding in fall means a noticeably fuller, greener lawn when spring arrives.

Our licensed team uses professional-grade equipment and spreads quality grass seed native to the Springfield area. Don't wait — fall appointment slots are limited.

Fertilizer & Weed Control

Five applications of nutrient rich fertilizer and weed controlling products tailor mixed to ensure healthy lawn year-round. Our licensed professional applicators and technicians are experienced in proper application techniques.

Aeration & Overseeding

Aeration of the lawn ensures that nutrients and seeds reach the soil beneath the existing grass. It is an essential piece of maintaining a healthy lawn as it allows water and air to punch through built up grass or lawn thatch. Overseeding spreads quality grass seeds, native to our area, throughout the targeted area.

Tree Services

Pruning of branches and limbs as requested to provide under skirt clearance or clear away from structures or full removal of trees with or without complete removal of stump. We offer offsite disposal of tree debris at no additional charge.
