“The appointment for lawn aeration was booked by phone with a courteous, efficient, flexible, and knowledgeable company representative. Their time of arrival was texted prior to arrival and the crew of 3 men arrived on time. The team lead, Alejandro, walked around the yard with us to explain the approach and describe areas that extra care would be taken (tree roots, cable, flower beds, etc.). When the aeration was completed, Alejandro spoke with us again to provide beneficial next steps. He answered several additional lawn care questions with ease & expertise. We were very pleased and impressed - we highly recommend Life is Green Landscaping & Services, LLC!”

“They did a great and careful job aerating and over-seeding my lawn. They spread my supplied compost and seed in bare areas and covered with straw provided. They were a great help to me and followed my instructions and wishes.”

What's included

What core aeration & overseeding do for your lawn

Compacted soil chokes roots and lets weeds take over. Aeration and overseeding break that cycle and give your lawn room to grow thick and healthy.

Core aeration

Pulls small plugs of soil to relieve compaction and let air, water and nutrients reach the roots.

Overseeding

Fresh seed applied right after aeration fills in thin and bare spots for a thicker lawn.

Soil health

Relieved compaction means deeper roots and a lawn that holds up better in heat and drought.

FAQ

Aeration & Seeding: common questions

When is the best time to aerate and overseed in Maryland?
Fall is the best time for cool-season lawns in Maryland, though spring aeration also helps relieve compacted soil. We’ll recommend the right timing for your lawn.
Do I need to overseed every time I aerate?
We recommend it. Overseeding right after aeration gives new grass seed the best chance to take root in the loosened soil.
How soon will I see results?
You’ll typically see new growth within 2–3 weeks, with the lawn filling in over the following months as it establishes.
