Revitalize your lawn this season with professional core aeration and overseeding services from Maco Landscape, serving residential and commercial clients in Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, Pompton Lakes & surrounding areas in Bergen & Passaic County.
Mowing and fertilizing are the foundation of a good lawn care routine, but they only go so far. For lawns that deal with heavy foot traffic, years of compaction, or soil conditions that restrict root development, something more is needed. When soil becomes compacted, water, air, and nutrients can no longer move freely down to the root zone where the grass actually needs them. The result is a lawn that looks tired, struggles through summer heat, and fails to respond the way it should to fertilizer and water no matter how consistently they’re applied.
Core aeration solves that problem at the source. The process involves mechanically removing small plugs of turf, soil, and root material from the lawn, creating channels that allow water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deeply into the soil and reach the root zone. The relief from compaction encourages deeper root development, improves drainage, and gives your turf the breathing room it needs to thicken up and perform through New Jersey’s full growing season.

Core aeration is one lawn service where cutting corners creates more problems than it solves. Handheld aerators and spike-style attachments for lawn tractors are commonly marketed as a DIY solution, but spike aerators actually increase compaction by pushing soil down and to the sides rather than removing it. A true core aerator pulls material out of the ground, which is what creates the relief from compaction that makes the service worth doing in the first place. Our crew is properly equipped and trained to aerate your lawn correctly without damaging your turf, landscape beds, or irrigation system in the process.
If your lawn has thinned out over time, overseeding is one of the most cost-effective ways to bring it back. As turf ages and deals with seasonal stress, foot traffic, and disease pressure, individual grass plants weaken and die off, leaving behind thin or bare areas that weeds are quick to fill. Overseeding introduces fresh grass seed directly into the existing turf, filling in those thin areas and improving the overall density of the lawn without the cost and disruption of a full renovation.
For best results, overseeding is performed immediately following core aeration. The holes left by the aerator create ideal seed-to-soil contact that dramatically improves germination rates compared to seeding over an unprepared surface. With proper watering in the weeks following the application, the new grass establishes quickly and begins filling in the lawn before the season closes out. Our team can assess your lawn and recommend whether overseeding is the right approach for your property or whether a more comprehensive renovation and sod installation would deliver better long-term results.
