Lawn Aeration in Weldon Spring, MO
Fall core aeration and overseeding for Weldon Spring's large, shaded lawns, priced by actual turf area. About twenty minutes from our O'Fallon shop.
Aeration on Weldon Spring lots
Weldon Spring is about twenty to twenty-five minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon. Its one- to three-acre lots and the golf-course homes in Whitmoor have more lawn than anywhere else we work, much of it under mature oak and hickory. Fescue in that shade thins every summer, and the only way to bring it back is to get new seed into the soil each fall.
We quote by the turf area we actually aerate, so a wooded three-acre lot with an acre of lawn is priced for an acre. The visit covers core aeration across all of it, overseeding with a blend weighted toward shade-tolerant fescue, and starter fertilizer. Sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines are flagged first, and the cores break down within a couple of 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 Weldon Spring 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.
Keeping fescue alive under hardwood canopy
A lawn under big trees in Weldon Spring is competing with those trees for water and light, and it loses a little ground every year. Annual fall aeration and overseeding is what keeps it from losing a lot. We also recommend mowing the shaded sections tall and keeping leaves off the new seed, which is why many customers pair aeration with an early leaf cleanup in November.
What aeration costs in Weldon Spring
Aeration in Weldon Spring 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.
