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 QuoteWilton sits along the Norwalk River valley with the land rising away on both sides, and like its neighbours it kept large lots and heavy tree cover. The valley floor holds deeper soil that drains reasonably; the properties up the sides of the valley sit on till over ledge, and there the usable depth drops off sharply. Most Wilton lawns have some of both, which is why one part of a property can be holding up in August while another is browning off.
Compaction shortens the root zone on either. On shallow ground it removes most of what little there was; on the deeper valley soil it puts a lid between the grass and the moisture below. Core aeration is the same answer to both problems — open the profile so water and roots can move through it. Overseeding into the holes matters as much, because a thicker stand shades its own soil and holds moisture at the crown. We weight the blend toward turf-type tall fescue for rooting depth and shade tolerance, which is what most Wilton properties need given how much canopy sits over them.

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 soil depth. On a property spanning the valley side you can have several inches of difference in usable soil across one lawn, and the shallow end always gives up first in a dry stretch.
Early September through mid-October, earlier in that window where the property is shaded.
You do — or we can, for a fee. Aeration reaches two to three inches, so anything shallow needs marking first. Irrigation is common on Wilton properties, so this matters here.
