Lawn Aeration and Overseeding Services in Ontario – Build a Thicker, Healthier Lawn. Aeration and overseeding are two of the most effective lawn care services for achieving a lush, green lawn that thrives year-round. At Sod Father, we provide professional lawn aeration services across Ontario to relieve compacted soil and promote deeper root growth. Using specialized equipment, we perforate the soil to allow better air, water, and nutrient penetration—boosting your turf’s strength from the roots up.

Paired with our overseeding service, which involves spreading premium grass seed over existing turf, these treatments help fill bare patches, repair thinning areas, and encourage new growth. Overseeding also thickens your lawn naturally, making it more resistant to pests, lawn disease, and seasonal stress like drought or heavy foot traffic.

Combining lawn aeration and overseeding not only improves the look of your property but also enhances the long-term health and durability of your grass. These essential services are ideal for homeowners looking to revitalize their lawn and maintain a vibrant landscape throughout the growing season.

Contact Sod Father today to schedule your aeration and overseeding service in Ontario and give your lawn the boost it needs.

Benefits of Aeration

Aeration is a crucial lawn care practice that helps alleviate soil compaction caused by foot traffic, mowing, fertilizing, and other activities. By loosening tightly packed soil, aeration improves drainage and prevents excess water from pooling on the surface after rainstorms or irrigation cycles. This helps reduce the risk of fungal diseases like root rot and brown patch, which thrive in waterlogged soil. Additionally, aeration creates small spaces between soil particles, allowing vital nutrients such as nitrogen to be stored and available to plant roots during their growing season. This promotes healthier, more resilient grass, ensuring your lawn thrives year-round.

Benefits of Overseeding

Overseeding is an effective way to encourage new grass growth while maintaining a uniform layer of healthy turf across your lawn. By planting a variety of grass seed, you can create a thicker lawn that is more resistant to common issues like pests, disease, drought, and the wear-and-tear caused by everyday activities, such as children playing. Additionally, overseeded areas tend to green up faster than non-overseeded sections because they benefit from an already established root system, making it easier for the new grass to germinate and thrive. This process not only improves your lawn's appearance but also boosts its overall resilience, helping it stay healthy.

Process of Lawn Aeration & Overseeding

01. Lawn Evaluation & Preparation

We start by assessing the condition of your lawn, soil compaction level, grass type, and any existing damage. We’ll clear the area of debris, mow the lawn (if needed), and mark underground utilities to ensure safety during aeration.

02. Core Aeration

Using professional-grade aeration equipment, we remove small plugs of soil (core aeration) across the entire lawn. This relieves compaction, improves airflow, and allows nutrients, water, and fertilizer to reach the root zone more effectively.

03. Overseeding with Premium Grass Seed

Immediately after aeration, we apply high-quality, climate-appropriate grass seed to the entire lawn. The aeration holes create ideal conditions for seed-to-soil contact, enhancing germination and long-term turf density.

04. Starter Fertilizer Application (Optional but Recommended)

To boost seed germination and early root development, we recommend applying a starter fertilizer. This gives your new grass the nutrients it needs to grow quickly and fill in weak or bare spots.

05. Watering & Aftercare Guidance

We provide you with a simple watering and care guide to ensure your lawn gets the right moisture during the germination period. Consistent watering is key to the success of overseeding and establishing new grass.

06. Follow-Up Lawn Health Check (Optional Add-On)

A few weeks after the service, we offer an optional follow-up visit to check on germination progress, turf density, and overall lawn health. We’ll assess if any touch-ups are needed and provide expert advice to keep your lawn thriving long-term.
