What Aeration Services Does LawnStarter Offer?<\/h2>
LawnStarter offers 2 types of aeration<\/a>: core aeration and liquid aeration<\/p>
With core aeration<\/a>, a lawn care provider uses a hollow-tine aerator to pull small soil plugs — typically 0.5-inch in diameter and 2-3 inches deep — from across your lawn.\u00a0<\/p>
According to Clemson University Extension<\/a>, core aeration “loosens compacted soil and increases the availability of water and nutrients” while also stimulating new root and shoot production.<\/p>
With liquid aeration, available across much of Texas, a solution is applied to break up compaction and improve water and nutrient absorption. <\/p>
Liquid aeration is less disruptive to your yard (no unsightly plugs) and works well on smaller lawns or in tight spaces where equipment access is limited.<\/p>
Signs your lawn needs aeration: <\/strong><\/p>
- Water pools instead of soaking in<\/li>
- Grass looks thin despite regular fertilizing<\/li>
- Soil is hard even after rain<\/li>
- A screwdriver won\u2019t push more than 2-3 inches into the ground<\/li> <\/ul>

Aeration plus overseeding<\/a> (combined package): <\/strong>Overseeding happens immediately after aeration so fresh seed falls directly into the aeration holes, giving it direct soil contact and better moisture retention.\u00a0<\/p>
Purdue University Extension notes that the benefit of aeration<\/a> is that it will “increase the seed-soil contact<\/a> and improve germination and establishment rate.” This is why combining both services consistently outperforms overseeding alone. <\/p>
Overseeding (without aeration) as also available. Call or request aeration in the app or online.<\/p>

When to Schedule Aeration and Overseeding<\/h2>
Timing depends on your grass type. Aerating at the wrong time of year stresses your lawn rather than helping it recover.<\/p>
