Lawn Aeration in Florissant, MO
Fall core aeration and overseeding for Florissant's established lawns, from shaded Old Town lots to sunny subdivisions near New Halls Ferry. About thirty minutes from our shop.
Aeration in Florissant
Florissant is about thirty to thirty-five minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon. The lawns around Koch Park and Old Town and in Paddock Hills and Sacre Coeur have had decades to compact and decades of oak and sycamore shade to thin the fescue. The subdivisions toward New Halls Ferry are sunnier and thin from heat instead. Both come back with a September aeration and overseeding.
We core aerate the whole lawn, overseed with a turf-type tall fescue blend matched to the shade, and apply starter fertilizer in one visit. Zoysia lawns, which are common in some Florissant subdivisions, get aerated in early summer instead. Sprinkler heads and dog fences are flagged first, and you get watering instructions for the first few weeks.
What our aeration service includes
Core aeration with a machine that pulls plugs of soil two to three inches deep
Two passes in different directions on compacted lawns
Overseeding with a turf-type tall fescue blend right after aeration
Starter fertilizer to push the new seed along
Flagging sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines before we start
Watering and mowing instructions for the first few weeks

Get on the fall list
September and early October are the window for Florissant lawns. We schedule aeration in that stretch and confirm the date by text.
Aerate, seed, and feed
The crew pulls cores across the whole lawn, spreads seed into the open holes, and applies starter fertilizer in one visit.
Watch it fill in
Keep the seed damp for two to three weeks, and the thin spots thicken up before the first frost. Cores break down on their own.
Timing around Florissant's leaf season
The one thing that undoes a fall overseeding is a wet mat of leaves on the new grass, and Florissant's canopy drops for six weeks. We aerate in September or early October and recommend an early leaf cleanup in November so the seedlings get light through their first fall. Everything we clear is hauled away, since the city does not allow leaves on the sidewalk or street.
What aeration costs in Florissant
Aeration in Florissant is priced by lawn size and quoted for free from a satellite measurement or a quick visit. What changes the price:
Square footage of turf. The base price comes from the lawn area alone. Beds, driveways, patios, and the house footprint do not count.
Aeration alone or with overseeding. Seed and starter fertilizer add to the price, and almost every Missouri fescue lawn benefits from adding them.
Soil condition. Hard, dry clay sometimes needs a second pass to pull a full core.
Bundling. Customers on a mowing or fertilization program get a bundled price on fall aeration.
