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 QuoteNew Fairfield wraps around the top of Candlewood Lake, and the land climbs steeply away from the water on most of it. Properties here tend to sit on slopes with ledge not far under, and a good many were levelled into the hillside when they were built — which leaves shallow made ground over whatever was there before. The lots are generous but the usable soil often is not.
Steep, shallow and compacted is a difficult combination. Water runs off rather than soaking in, so the lawn gets less benefit from rain than the rainfall total suggests, and what soil there is keeps moving downhill over the years. Core aeration gives rainfall somewhere to enter instead of starting a sheet down the grade, and the holes hold overseeded grass long enough to germinate rather than washing to the low end. We weight the blend toward turf-type tall fescue — deeper roots matter more here than anywhere, both for drought and for holding soil in place on a pitch.

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.
Most New Fairfield slopes are workable. There is a pitch beyond which the machine is not safe, and we will tell you plainly rather than doing a poor version of the job.
Early September through mid-October. Higher properties around the lake cool sooner, so aim earlier in that window.
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.
