Aeration & Seeding in Northern Virginia
Aeration and seeding, as part of regular lawn maintenance, goes a long way in creating a thicker, healthier lawn that you’re sure to love for years to come.
Throughout the year, your lawn can become more compacted from regular use, resulting in a layer of tightly bound dead grass and roots, called thatch, to build up at the base of your living grass. This thick layer of thatch can block essential nutrients, water, and oxygen from reaching the roots, resulting in a dying yard. Aeration and seeding is incredibly important to remove the thatch and have a healthy, green lawn. If you’re trying to find answers to common questions like when is the best time to aerate the lawn, head over to our lawn care blog to learn more.

Aeration in Northern Virginia
Grass roots need air, water, and essential nutrients to grow thick, healthy, and strong. Thatch build up can hinder this growth, making it necessary to remove it. The best way to compensate for thatch build up is through the use of aeration. When you aerate your lawn traditionally, you’re creating small holes down in the soil to alleviate compaction, allowing everything your grass needs to reach the roots. We also now offer liquid aeration which has many additional benefits without disturbing the soil causing potential weed problems.

When Should You Aerate?
Traditionally, the best time to aerate cool season lawns, like lawns made up of tall fescue or Kentucky bluegrass, is usually in late August or mid September. This is when cooler season grasses are coming out of their dormancy and starting to grow. Don’t know what kind of grass is in your yard? Our pros know! Give us a call today at 703-313-2056 and we can help you set up a plan that’s right for you!
How to Prepare for Your Lawn Aeration Service
Are you wondering what you need to do before our lawn technicians arrive for your aeration and seeding service? Here’s everything that you may need to do to ensure you get the most out of your service.
- Flag sprinkler heads, invisible fence, in-ground lights, and other hard-to-see objects. If you are unable to flag your lawn, please let us know and our crew can assist you with this.
- Mow your lawn lower than the usual recommendation one to two days before we arrive. This helps to make your aeration and seeding service more effective.
- Clean up leaves and debris.
- Water your lawn ONLY if the soil is dry. A quick way to know if the soil is moist enough is to push a screwdriver into the soil. If the screwdriver penetrates easily, it is fine. If it is hard to push in, water about 1″ and test again.
Seeding in Northern Virginia
After your lawn has been aerated, it’s time to seed your lawn! Aeration will create optimal conditions for seed germination, allowing new roots to reach deep down into the soil and establish a strong root system. These seeds will then transform into a thick layer of turf, which will not only look healthy and green but also prevent weeds from taking hold in your lawn.
Coated Seeding for Optimal Grass Growth
Have you noticed with past seeding services that your grass didn’t grow to optimal height? Your lawn may not have been as hydrated as it needs to be! When your lawn isn’t watered as it should be—even missing one day can be detrimental!—it won’t absorb any of the all-natural nutrients our lawn technicians provide during our fall aeration and seeding services. With our new coated grass seeding service at Blades of Green, our coated seeds will help the seed stay moist in case you miss a day of watering or growing conditions are less than ideal. This service is included in our industry-leading aeration and seeding services at no additional cost!
Benefits of Overseeding Your Lawn
Overseeding may not feel like a necessary step—but it’s actually incredibly important to the overall health and appearance of your lawn! The thicker the grass grows, the better it’s able to withstand stressors in the future. Benefits include:
- Thickening the density of thinner lawns.
- Improving the overall appearance of the lawn.
- Helping the lawn fight insects and disease.
- Filling in areas of grass damaged by insects, disease, and stress.
Not sure if your lawn could benefit from overseeding? Give our professionals a call today at 703-313-2056 or contact us online!
