Try it in your yard

Grab a screwdriver. Push it in.

Wait for a day after rain, or water a spot first. The test needs damp ground.
Push a long screwdriver straight down with one steady hand. Don't lean on it.
See how far it went. Try 3 spots: the front, the back, and where people walk.

Healthy soil lets it slide in 6 inches or more. If it stops at 2 or 3 inches, the soil is packed down. It's a quick check, not a lab test. If you'd rather we do it, ask for a Free Soil Check. A crew member does it when we're on your street, and we text you the photos.

How far did it go in? 0 in.

What you get

Fertilized, aerated and overseeded every year.

Core aerationA machine pulls small plugs of dirt out of the lawn. Water, air and food can reach the roots again.
OverseedingNew grass seed goes down right after, so it lands in the holes and fills thin spots.
Fertilizer at the right timeOhio State says fall is the most important time to feed grass here. We plan yours around that.

When it happens in Ohio.

Spring (April and May)A light feeding as the grass wakes up. Aeration works in spring too, if it can't wait.
Early fall (late August and September)The best time to aerate and overseed. The ground is warm, nights are cool, and new grass has time to root before winter.
Late fall (November)One more feeding before the cold. The roots store it and the lawn greens up faster in spring.

Most yards around here sit on clay. Clay packs down hard, so we aerate every fall.

Weekly mowing

Our lawn looks great this season. Harrison has been doing a great job cutting our grass. They are reliable and very punctual. Edging looks good. Overall we are very happy with the service and would recommend them highly. Definitely want them taking care of our lawn in the future too.

When is the best time to aerate a lawn in Ohio?

Early fall, from late August through September. Grass 'n' Gardens aerates and overseeds lawns in Richfield then, because new seed has time to root before winter. Spring is second best.

What is the Free Soil Check?

Text us your address. When a crew is on your street that week, they push a screwdriver into your lawn in 3 spots and text you the photos next to a 6-inch mark. It takes about 5 minutes and you don't have to be home. If your yard passes, we tell you. Get a Free Soil Check

Does aeration leave a mess?

It leaves small plugs of dirt on the lawn. They break down on their own after a few mows and a little rain. We blow them off your drive and walks before we leave.

Do I have to be home?

No. Just tell us about any sprinkler heads or buried lines so we can mark them first.

Can aeration and fertilizer go on my yearly plan?

Yes. It all goes on one plan for the whole year.

How much does aeration cost?

It depends on how big your lawn is. Send us your address and Harrison texts you the price today. Get my yard plan
