Lawn Aeration and Seeding Service in North Metro Atlanta
Is your North Metro lawn looking dull and tired? In the hot, dry Metro Atlanta area, it's common to see thinning patches, more weeds, or stunted growth due to compacted soil. Don't worry - lawn aeration and seeding can help your Georgia grass thrive in even the worst conditions!
Benefits of lawn aeration and overseeding include, but are not limited to:
- Deeper root growth in loosened soil
- Better oxygen, nutrient, and water flow
- Thatch breaks up to prevent suffocation
- Less standing water, reducing fungus and disease
- Healthier grass that crowds out weeds
- Seeding prep to fill in bare spots (overseeding)
- Fuller, denser lawns when combined with seeding (great for fescue!)

When Should You Aerate In The North Metro Atlanta Area?
Here in North Georgia, we recommend that Bermuda and Zoysia lawns get aerated in the spring and Fescue lawns get aerated in the fall. Aeration removes plugs of grass and soil from the ground, creating new oxygenating air spaces in the lawn and allowing nutrients to absorb closer to the root, revitalizing the soil ecosystem. Aeration allows oxygen and nourishing fertilizers to penetrate the root system, making your lawn stronger and more vibrant. Lawn aeration also helps decrease the buildup of thatch. Thatch is the buildup of dead roots, rhizomes, and lawn clippings that have not been broken down between the soil surface and the grass layer. If the thatch becomes too thick, it soaks up the moisture and does not allow the roots to affix themselves to the soil properly. Excessive thatch also provides a breeding ground for turf-damaging lawn insects like grubs, harming your lawn even further.
No need to buy or rent an aerator and break your back aerating your lawn. WinLAWN of North Metro Atlanta, GA, is ready to help!

How do you bill for your lawn care services?
We bill on a per-treatment basis, meaning you only pay after each service is completed. We don't believe in charging you for a full year upfront or forcing you into a complicated monthly financing plan. By billing per treatment, we stay accountable to you; we have to earn your business with every single visit. After our technician finishes your application and leaves your digital service report, we simply process the bill for that specific treatment.
Do we require you to sign a long-term contract?
Absolutely not. We believe we should earn your business with every single visit. We offer contract-free service, meaning you can pause or cancel your plan at any time. Our goal is to provide such a high level of value that you'll never want to leave, but we’ll never trap you in a legal agreement to keep you.
Do you need to be home when we service your property?
No, you don't need to adjust your schedule for us. We’ll service your lawn, leave a detailed digital report of what we did, and ensure your gate is locked before we head out. You’ll get a notification when the job is done so you can keep on with your day.
Is core aeration better than liquid aeration for my yard?
For the stubborn red clay found in cities like Alpharetta and Marietta, we find core aeration to be significantly more effective. While liquid treatments can offer some chemical softening, they do not provide the immediate physical relief or the "root-to-air" channels that mechanical core aeration creates. To truly break up compacted clay and allow for deep root expansion, nothing beats physically removing the soil plugs.
What are these dirt "plugs" left on my lawn and should I remove them?
Those "plugs" are the nutrient-rich cores we pulled from the ground, and you should absolutely leave them on the lawn. While they might look like "goose droppings" and seem a bit messy, they are vital for your soil's health. They will naturally break down and disappear back into the thatch layer within 1 to 2 weeks with normal mowing and watering, returning organic matter and beneficial microbes back to your soil.
When is the best time of year for us to aerate your grass?
The best time to aerate depends entirely on your specific grass type. For warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia, we perform aeration in the late spring or early summer (May–July) when the grass is growing rapidly and can quickly fill in the core holes. For Tall Fescue, we perform aeration in the fall (September–October) in conjunction with overseeding to help the new seeds establish deep roots before winter.
Why do we recommend core aeration for North Georgia lawns?
Core aeration is the only physical way to reverse the extreme soil compaction caused by Georgia’s heavy red clay. Over time, clay particles pack together so tightly that oxygen, water, and fertilizer cannot reach the roots. We use professional-grade aerators to physically pull small soil "cores" or plugs out of the ground. This creates thousands of open channels that allow your lawn to finally "breathe" and absorb the nutrients we provide in our fertilization program.
Why does Georgia red clay require deeper aeration than other soil types?
Georgia red clay is composed of tiny, flat particles that "plate" together, creating a nearly waterproof barrier that prevents root growth. Unlike sandy soils found in other states, our clay acts like a brick when it dries out. We pull 2-to-3-inch cores because it is the only way to break that "plating" and create macro-pores. These pores allow oxygen to reach the roots, which is vital for the health of Bermuda and Zoysia during our humid Atlanta summers.
