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.
Not sure whether your lawn needs it this fall? We'll walk the property and give you a straight answer — including if the timing's wrong.
Get a QuoteGreenwich covers a lot of very different ground. Down toward the shoreline and the harbours the soil turns sandy and drains hard. Through the middle of town it is heavier and holds. Up in the backcountry north of the Merritt you are on till over ledge, with large wooded properties and the tree competition that comes with them. One town, three genuinely different growing conditions.
What is consistent is the standard the lawns are held to, and that standard is difficult to meet on any of the three without addressing the soil. A shoreline lawn is thin because nothing holds; a mid-town lawn is choked because everything is packed; a backcountry lawn is short of depth and short of light. Core aeration and overseeding is the treatment that improves all three, with the balance shifted to suit. On the sandy side the overseeding carries it; in the middle the compaction relief does; up in the backcountry it is depth and a shade-tolerant blend. We would rather walk the property and tell you which of those you have than quote a Greenwich lawn from a postcode.

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.
Almost always the soil rather than the programme. Water and fertiliser cannot help roots that stop at a compacted layer or run out of depth over ledge. That is what aeration addresses and no amount of feeding substitutes for it.
Once a year in fall for most properties. High-traffic lawns and heavy soil justify it annually without question.
You do — or we can, for a fee. Aeration reaches two to three inches, so anything shallow needs marking first. Irrigation is near universal here, so this matters.
Fall is the window, and it's short. Tell us about your property and we'll build the plan around it.
