We use Ryan aerators.

Rather than forcing spikes into the lawn and compressing the lawn more, Ryan aerators are true core aerators.
These machines cost $6000 each.

These aerators remove small plugs of soil.

When these plugs of soil get removed, the lawn becomes more breathable, exposed to nutrients, moisture, and oxygen.

Because of our climate, your lawn is usually made up of cool-season grasses (usually a mix of Kentucky bluegrass, creeping red fescue, and ryegrass).
Cool season lawns grow the strongest in the spring & fall.

We aerate early-spring, and in the fall.

We aerate in the early spring and fall, not only because your lawn will respond strongest to the aeration at that time, but because aerators work better when the grass is moist.
When the grass is moist, we can get deeper, more consistent cores.

After aeration, the lawn has thousands of small holes. Overseeding after aeration helps because there is:
better seed-to-soil contact
less compaction
more: air, water, and nutrient access.

Timing also matters with overseeding.

Seed needs moisture to germinate. While you should be watering the lawn nonetheless, the lawn holds more moisture during the spring, allowing the seed to grow quickly.
