Lawn Aeration and Overseeding Services

Healthy Soil, Strong Roots, Greener Lawns

At Kampmeier Lawn Care, we know that a lush, healthy lawn starts below the surface. Over time, soil naturally becomes compacted from foot traffic, mowing, and rainfall, making it difficult for water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone. Our professional lawn aeration and overseeding services are designed to revitalize your turf, strengthen your grass, and give your lawn the boost it needs to thrive season after season.

Why does Aeration matter?

Aeration is the process of removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to relieve compaction and open pathways for air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. By reducing soil density, your grass can develop deeper root systems and grow stronger, greener, and more resilient.

Healthier Soil

Looser, healthier soil: Relieves compaction and promotes stronger root growth.

Helps Fertilize

Improved nutrient uptake: Helps fertilizer, water, and oxygen reach the root zone efficiently.

Reduces Buildup

Reduced thatch buildup: Breaks apart layers of dead grass and organic material that block nutrients.

Prevents Water Pooling

Enhanced drainage: Prevents water pooling and runoff for a more balanced, even lawn.

Residential and Commercial Aeration

Kampmeier Lawn Care provides aeration and overseeding for both residential and commercial properties across Dane County.

Homeowners

Commercial Properties

Overseeding

Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn to fill in thin or bare areas. When combined with aeration, it’s one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate tired turf and promote long-term lawn health. The holes created during aeration give new seeds direct contact with the soil, improving germination and helping new grass establish quickly.

Benefits of overseeding

Thicker, more resilient turf: Fills bare patches and strengthens weak spots.
Improved grass varieties: Introduces newer, more durable seed blends that resist disease and drought.
Greener, fuller appearance: Restores your lawn’s density, color, and curb appeal.

Together, aeration and overseeding work as a powerful one-two punch for achieving a healthy, vibrant lawn that stands up to Wisconsin’s weather.

When to Aerate and Overseed?

For the best results, aeration and overseeding should be performed during your lawn’s active growing seasons — spring and fall. These periods provide the ideal combination of soil moisture and moderate temperatures for root growth and seed germination.

General recommendations

Frequency: Most lawns benefit from aeration once per year. Lawns with heavy clay soil or frequent traffic may need it twice.
Timing: Spring and fall are ideal, but fall is often preferred for long-term root establishment.
Aftercare: Following service, consistent watering is crucial to help new seed germinate and soil plugs break down naturally.
