Lawn Aeration & Overseeding in Wilmington, DE
If your Wilmington 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 Wilmington yards.
Timing for Wilmington
The best window near Wilmington is early fall for cool-season grasses and late spring for Bermuda and Zoysia, while the grass (tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, Bermuda, and Zoysia) is growing and recovers fast. Aeration first gives overseeded grass ideal soil contact; afterward, leave the soil plugs to break down and water well.
