Charlotte homeowners know that our red clay soil can be tough on grass. Compaction and poor root growth make it hard to keep a thick, healthy lawn through the hot summer months. The best solution is simple: aeration and overseeding in spring.


At Violet Home Services, we provide professional lawn aeration and overseeding in Charlotte, NC to help your yard recover from winter and grow stronger all season long.

Why Aeration and Overseeding Matter

When soil becomes compacted, air, water, and nutrients struggle to reach the roots. That leads to patchy, thin grass. Aeration loosens the soil so new roots can grow deep and healthy.


Overseeding works hand in hand with aeration by spreading new grass seed over the loosened ground. The two processes together:


  • Repair bare or thin areas

  • Strengthen your turf against summer heat

  • Improve root growth and nutrient absorption

  • Increase lawn thickness and color

  • Reduce weeds by filling in gaps naturally


Our Lawn Aeration and Overseeding Process


  1. Inspection and Quote: We evaluate your yard’s condition and recommend the best time to schedule service.

  2. Core Aeration: Our equipment removes small plugs of soil to open the ground and relieve compaction.

  3. Overseeding: High-quality grass seed is spread evenly to fill in thin areas and encourage new growth.

  4. Starter Fertilizer Application: We feed your new seed for faster germination and stronger roots.

  5. Cleanup and Aftercare Guidance: We leave your property neat and provide watering instructions for best results.
