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 QuoteKent runs along the Housatonic with the land climbing hard to the west toward the New York line. That gives the town two entirely different growing situations within a few miles of each other. Down on the river bottom the soil is deep alluvial ground, some of the best in the county, and lawns there start with real depth to work with. Up on the mountainside it is thin stony till over rock, steep, and often heavily shaded.
Aeration serves both, differently. On the river-bottom properties the soil is good but a compacted layer — old ploughing, decades of mowing, or construction — sits between the grass and it, so the lawn behaves worse than the ground deserves. Opening that up gives quick results because the soil below is genuinely worth reaching. Up on the higher ground there is little depth to open, so the value shifts to overseeding: density is what protects a shallow lawn through a dry August and a cold winter. We match the blend to the light and the depth rather than treating a Kent property 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.
Often yes, and results tend to be faster there. Good soil still compacts, and if a tight layer sits above it the grass never reaches the depth that makes the ground valuable.
Late August into September. Elevation shortens the window, particularly on the western side of town.
You do — or we can, for a fee. Aeration reaches two to three inches, so anything shallow needs marking first.
Fall is the window, and it's short. Tell us about your property and we'll build the plan around it.
