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 QuoteEaston is unusual for Fairfield County in how much genuinely open land it kept — orchards, working farms and the reservoir watershed that covers a large part of the town. That gives you two quite distinct kinds of lawn. On the open former farm ground the soil is deeper and has been worked, which means old compaction low in the profile and full sun on top. In the wooded sections along the ridges the ground goes shallow over ledge and the trees take over.
Both need aeration and for different reasons. The open lots have the depth but a tight layer sitting in it, so roots stop short of the moisture that's actually there and the lawn burns off in August despite decent ground. The wooded lots have almost no depth to start with, so anything closing off the surface takes most of the root zone. Core aeration opens the profile either way; the difference is in the seed. Open sun takes a turf-type tall fescue and Kentucky bluegrass blend; under the canopy we weight it toward fine fescues that tolerate low light. We'll match it to what the property actually gets rather than treating the whole lawn as one thing.

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.
Yes, and it's worth doing properly. We adjust the seed blend across the property rather than applying one mix everywhere, because a shade blend wastes money in full sun and a sun blend fails under trees.
Early September through mid-October, aiming earlier in that window on the shadier parts of the property.
You do — or we can, for a fee. Aeration reaches two to three inches, so anything shallow needs marking first.
