Aerating & Seeding
If you've already signed up for our schedule, make sure to follow the proper preparation guidelines for a smooth aerating and seeding process. If you haven't signed up, please follow the link below to get on our list.
Preparation
Most yards will fall between $225 - $325 for aeration and seeding
For a typical yard (5,000 sq. ft.)
- Aerating: $125
- Seeding (25lbs): $100
For a larger yard (10,000 sq. ft.)
- Aerating: $150
- Seeding (50lbs): $175
*Hills or difficult terrains may cause price changes
*Over 1/3 shade may cause price changes because shade seed is more expensive
We use a stand-on Lesco core aerator for the majority of jobs and a manual aerator for tighter spaces.
To prepare for aerating and seeding:
- Mark all irrigation heads
*Extra $65 to mark irrigation
- Remove any potential obstacles from yard
- Water well
After aerating and seeding
- Water 3 times a day for 20 minutes for 10 days
- Water 2 times a day for 10 days after the first 10 days
- Cut grass after 20 days
*some houses require more water depending on sun exposure and terrain

2024: What's New?
To meet demands and focus on our specialties we've decided to limit our services to Irrigation, Landscape Lighting, and Aerating/Seeding. Irrigation and Aerating/Seeding services will be focused on but not exclusive to customers who sign contracts pre-season. If you have questions or are interested in signing up for any of these three services, more information can be found under the "Services" page.
Switching to contracts will allow us to handle increase in demand for the aforementioned services and offer our customers easier scheduling. Overall this will reduce headaches caused by last minute work requests or having to remember to get your irrigation winterized, for example.
Our sincerest apologies go out to all of our loyal customers that have been coming to us for grass mowing, planting, mulching, and the many other services that we've offered over the past years. Depending on how this year goes, we may bring back some of those services eventually but for 2024 we are putting all of our efforts toward the three services listed above. Thank you for using Bayard's Landscapes, we hope to see you again.
