Lawn Aeration in Wildwood, MO
Fall core aeration and overseeding for Wildwood's big, hilly, shaded lawns, priced by actual turf area. About forty minutes from our O'Fallon shop.
Aeration in Wildwood
Wildwood is about thirty-five to forty-five minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, and the lawns there are the hardest on our routes to keep thick: heavy oak and hickory shade, steep ground that sheds water, and three-acre lots with an acre or more of fescue around the house. Annual fall aeration and overseeding is how those lawns hold on.
We quote by the turf area we actually aerate, run a machine that holds a hill without sliding, and overseed with a blend weighted toward shade-tolerant fescue. Starter fertilizer goes down in the same visit. Because of the drive we schedule Wildwood aerations in route-day blocks, and the per-visit price covers travel. Sprinkler heads and invisible fence lines are flagged first.
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 Wildwood 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.
Aerating slopes under heavy canopy
On a Wildwood hillside the aeration holes are small reservoirs that catch rain before it runs to the creek, and that alone changes how the fescue gets through August. Under the big trees the blend matters as much as the timing, and we cut shaded sections tall afterward. Leaves come early and heavy here, so most customers pair aeration with an early November cleanup to keep the new seed clear.
What aeration costs in Wildwood
Aeration in Wildwood 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.
