We pull thousands of soil plugs to open compacted clay and rocky loam, so air, water and nutrients reach the root zone.
Turf-Type tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass blend, A-List blue-tag varieties, dropped straight into the aeration holes.
Cooler air and fall moisture give new seed its best window to establish before winter and root deeply going into the cold.
Aeration reaches 2 to 3 inches, so irrigation heads and lines, low-voltage wiring and invisible fences need marking first. Most customers mark their own — we can do it for a fee if you'd rather.

Get a QuoteAnsonia climbs sharply out of the Naugatuck valley, and its residential streets run up the slopes on both sides of the river. Lots are modest, the grades are real, and a lot of the ground was cut and filled to make level building platforms out of a hillside. That combination — small lots, steep surroundings and made ground — produces lawns that dry out faster than their owners expect.
Water is the thread running through it. On a slope, rain moves off before it soaks in, and compacted made ground has little capacity to take it anyway. The lawn lives on whatever fell that week, so the first dry fortnight in August shows immediately. Core aeration gives water somewhere to enter and slows it down long enough to matter, and overseeding into the holes builds a thicker stand that shades its own soil and holds moisture at the crown. On the steeper Ansonia lots the density is also what eventually keeps the soil where it is, which matters more here than on flat ground.

Connecticut licence PMCS-065378. The same crew can feed your lawn, manage weeds and treat for ticks.
We don't offer dethatching or liquid aeration, because core aeration does the job properly. If your lawn needs something else, we'll say so.
Usually yes. Small lawns take concentrated wear, and slopes lose more water to runoff than flat ground does. Both are things aeration directly addresses, and the job costs less on a modest lot.
Early September through mid-October, which gives seed warm soil to germinate in and cool air to establish in.
You do — or we can, for a fee. Aeration reaches two to three inches, so anything shallow needs marking first.
