Lawn Aeration & Overseeding in San Jose, CA
If your San Jose lawn feels hard underfoot or water runs off instead of soaking in, compaction is likely the culprit. Core aeration relieves it, and overseeding thickens thin spots — a powerful combo for San Jose yards.
Timing for San Jose
The best window near San Jose is early fall, with spring as a backup, while the grass (tall fescue and perennial ryegrass, with Bermuda in hot inland areas) is growing and recovers fast. Aeration first gives overseeded grass ideal soil contact; afterward, leave the soil plugs to break down and water well.
