Aeration and overseeding aren't optional in Northern Nevada; they are essential for healthy lawn care in our high-desert climate. If you battle bare spots, compaction, or slow-growing turf, now is the time to aerate and overseed your lawn with purpose.
At Cory’s Lawn Service, we create customized aeration and overseeding plans tailored to local soil conditions, providing your grass with the essential nutrients it needs for optimal health. Aerating and overseeding your lawn at the right time will deliver strong, visible gains.
Why Your Northern Nevada Lawn Needs Aeration and Overseeding
Clay soil compacts fast, limiting root growth and trapping water near the surface. Core aeration removes small plugs, allowing oxygen, water, and essential nutrients to reach the roots. Overseeding involves adding fresh grass seed that thrives here, including bluegrass, turf-type fescue, and KBG. Good seed-to-soil contact drives quick germination.
When we combine these services, you gain:
Thicker turf that crowds out weeds
Deeper roots that handle drought better
Faster repair of bare areas, yielding a greener lawn
Overseeding brings improved turfgrass, such as core fescue, KBG, and bluegrass. Deeper roots allow your lawn to benefit from aeration throughout the season.
Timing Matters: When to Aerate and Overseed Your Lawn
Early fall offers cool air, warm soil, and steady moisture, the perfect mix for new seed. Overseeding can be successful in the spring; however, fall provides better water and nutrient uptake for cool-season turf. Schedule aerating and overseeding in fall so your lawn enters dormancy dense and strong.
We recommend performing lawn aeration and overseeding every year when traffic is heavy or the grass looks thin. Some properties gain from core aeration every three years, but most Northern Nevada lawns need annual care. Regular aeration and overseeding your lawn reduce compaction, boost airflow, and support a healthier root system before spring arrives.
How We Customize Aeration and Overseeding Services
We start with a site review that covers soil density, slope, grass type, and irrigation. Our core aeration services then remove small soil cores, creating holes that let air and moisture flow freely.
Next, we spread a cool-season blend matched to your yard. Seed varieties include bluegrass, KBG, and turf-type fescue. Proper seed contact builds a thick lawn. We water to maintain even moisture and adjust mowing to protect seedlings. These lawn maintenance tasks enhance water and nutrient movement, allowing roots to reach deeper into the soil.
