Initial Mowing
Before we aerate your yard, we ask that your property is mowed to ensure the best results. You can reach out to your own provider or you can ask us to complete this. This step is important because it helps our aeration equipment to reach your soil effectively by reducing interference with tall grasses. More importantly, if you desire overseeding, this will improve seed to soil contact to create the best results for your lawn. Further, we ask that you also water your lawn the day prior to us arriving for your service!
Core Aeration
Our aeration service includes commercial-grade core aeration equipment that will effectively reduce compaction in your soil. We provide double-core aeration for our clients, meaning we aerate your lawn twice over to ensure the best coverage and results from your service. For the best results for your lawn, we also recommend overseeding to introduce new seed for your soil to grow.

What is the best time to get aeration in Manassas?
With the unique climate in Manassas, we recommend that you have your lawn aerated at least once per year, preferably twice. The best time of year to do aeration in Manassas is in the fall, from mid-September until the end of October. If you choose to aerate in the spring, we recommend you do it between late March and early April.
Can aeration damage my sprinklers?
We ask that you have your sprinklers and any other underground pipes/wires flagged prior to our arrival. Our team will take immense caution to avoid these obstacles and ensure there is no damage to your property. However, there is always a chance that sprinklers pipes could move closer to the surface over time, which means they could be damage by our equipment. If this happens, we are not liable for any damage to your sprinkler systems if they were not flagged!
How long does it take to see results from aeration?
As long as you properly water your lawn every day after your aeration service, you will begin seeing results within 2-4 weeks. Your grass should appear thicker and healthier because of the improved soil condition. However, sometimes aeration will not be enough to fill in every spot of your lawn, in which case other lawn repair methods may be necessary!

The price of an aeration service in Manassas can depend on a variety of factors, but the most important are the size of your yard and significant hills/obstacles.
