Lawn Aeration in St. Peters, MO
Fall core aeration and overseeding for St. Peters lawns, from shaded Country Hill yards to full-sun subdivisions near Highway 364. About fifteen minutes from our shop.
Aeration in St. Peters
St. Peters is about fifteen minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, and its lawns split into two kinds. The 1970s neighborhoods like Country Hill and Spencer Creek have fescue thinned by forty years of shade. The 1990s and 2000s subdivisions have fescue on compacted clay baked by full sun. Both come out of August with bare spots, and both get the same fix in September.
We core aerate the whole lawn, overseed with a turf-type tall fescue blend, and apply starter fertilizer in one visit. For shaded St. Peters yards we use a blend with more shade tolerance, and for the sunny lots we go heavier on seed where the summer did the most damage. Sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines are flagged before the machine starts.
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 St. Peters 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.
The fall window in St. Peters
September through mid October is the stretch, when soil is still warm enough for seed to germinate but nights are cool enough for fescue to root hard. Seed put down in that window is established before the first frost and ready for spring. We aerate St. Peters lawns on the same route days we mow them, and the cores break down on their own within a couple of weeks.
What aeration costs in St. Peters
Aeration in St. Peters 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.
