Missouri's clay-heavy soil can become compacted over time, making it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach your grass roots.
Core aeration removes small plugs of soil to help relieve compaction and improve growing conditions. When paired with overseeding, it can also help fill thin or bare areas and encourage a fuller lawn.

For cool-season lawns in Missouri, early fall is generally the best time for aeration and overseeding. Cooler temperatures and warm soil help create favorable conditions for new grass to establish.
Spring aeration can also help relieve compaction and prepare your lawn for the growing season.
We recommend scheduling fall aeration 3–6 weeks in advance, particularly for September and October appointments.
Hard soil, pooling water, thinning grass, and heavy foot traffic can all indicate soil compaction. Aeration may help improve these conditions.
If your lawn has thin or bare areas, overseeding can be a helpful addition. Aeration creates openings that improve seed-to-soil contact.
Typically, the plugs break down naturally within one to two weeks with rain and mowing. There's no need to remove them.
