In short: Core aeration and fresh seed — the fall reset for tired lawns. Free written estimates across all seven towns we serve, owner on every job.
Free estimateWhy fall is the reset button for tired lawns
We handle lawn aeration & overseeding for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham. Whether you need one project or care all season long, you deal with the owner. That is true from the first phone call to the final walkthrough. There is no salesperson, call center or rotating crew of subcontractors in between. We have built our name in these towns since 2012. That work spans lawn aeration & overseeding and the full range of landscape and hardscape jobs. Reviews and repeat customers are the reason most of our new jobs come from word of mouth.
Compacted soil starves a lawn no matter how much you water it. Core aeration opens the soil; overseeding fills it with better grass.
We pull real cores, not spikes, then overseed with a blend matched to your sun and soil. Done in early fall, the new grass is established before winter.
A lawn that thins out, stays hard underfoot and puddles after rain is usually telling you the soil is compacted. Years of mowing, foot traffic and clay-heavy New England soil squeeze the pore space out of the root zone, and no amount of fertilizer or water fixes that. Core aeration is the mechanical reset: pulling cores opens the soil so roots can breathe and deepen.
Doing it in early fall, paired with overseeding, is the highest-return lawn service there is. Soil is still warm, nights are cooling, weed pressure is dropping, and the cores give new seed perfect contact. One well-timed fall aeration and overseeding does more for a tired lawn than a full spring of patching.
Common Lawn Aeration & Overseeding problems we fix
Most people call us about lawn aeration & overseeding because something has already gone wrong, or they want to make sure it never does. These are the issues we see most often across Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham, and every one of them is preventable when the work is done right the first time:
- ✓Compacted soil where water runs off instead of soaking in
- ✓Thin, tired turf that never thickens no matter how much you water
- ✓Spike aeration that does nothing for the root zone
- ✓Seed thrown down on hard ground and washed away
- ✓Overseeding done in spring when it should be fall
What’s included with our Lawn Aeration & Overseeding
- ✓True core aeration
- ✓Sun/shade seed blend
- ✓Overseeding after coring
- ✓Starter fertilizer
- ✓Watering schedule
- ✓Early-fall timing
Every one of those items is part of the price we quote, not an upsell we spring on you halfway through. When we scope your lawn aeration & overseeding, we spell out exactly what is included so there are no surprises on the invoice and no corners cut where you cannot see them. If your project needs something not on this list, we will tell you up front and price it separately rather than quietly leaving it out to make the number look better.

How the job runs
We keep the process simple and predictable so you always know what is happening and what comes next. Here is how a lawn aeration & overseeding job runs with Ten Four, from the first call to the final walkthrough, with the owner reachable at every step.
We pull real cores of soil so the holes actually relieve compaction and let air, water and nutrients reach the root zone. Spike aeration just pushes soil aside and compacts it further.
Fresh seed goes down right after coring, when the holes give seed direct soil contact — the single best conditions for germination without tearing up the lawn.
We match the seed blend to the light your lawn gets, so shady areas get shade-tolerant grasses and sunny areas get the varieties that hold up to heat.
A starter feed goes down with the seed and you get a written watering schedule to carry the new grass through establishment.
What drives the price
Honest answer: lawn aeration & overseeding is priced by the job, not off a rate card, because no two properties are the same. Anyone who quotes you a firm price over the phone without seeing the site is guessing, and that guess usually turns into a change order later. We would rather walk the property, understand exactly what you want, and give you a real written number. A few of the things that move the price up or down:
Lawn size and how compacted the soil is
Seed blend and seeding rate
Whether starter fertilizer is included
Early-fall scheduling demand
When to schedule
Early fall is the reset window: warm soil, cooling nights and dropping weed pressure give new seed the best possible start. Our calendar for lawn aeration & overseeding fills up fastest in spring and early fall, so the sooner you reach out, the more flexibility you have on timing. If you are planning ahead, we are happy to get you on the schedule early and confirm the details closer to the date.
The crew and the equipment
Every lawn aeration & overseeding job is run by Seth and our own crew, not subcontractors, with the equipment and materials matched to the work in front of us. The person who quotes your job is the person on site while it is built, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the finished result. We show up with the right machines for the job, keep the site clean while we work, and leave it the way we would want our own property left. We source our materials from suppliers we have worked with for years, so what goes into your lawn aeration & overseeding is the same quality we would put on our own homes, not the cheapest thing available that week.
Our service area
Our yard is in Wrentham, so lawn aeration & overseeding in Wrentham, Norfolk, Franklin, Foxboro, Plainville, Medway and Bellingham is close-to-home work for us, not a drive we pad the estimate to cover. We know the clay-heavy New England soil, the frost depth that decides how we build, and the freeze-thaw that punishes anything built shallow or drained poorly. We live and work in the same towns you do. If you ever need us back, we are only a short drive away. We also care what the neighbors think of the work, because they are our neighbors too.
About your estimate
Your lawn aeration & overseeding estimate is free and in writing, with the scope spelled out line by line — no vague allowances that balloon once the work is underway. Seth walks the property with you before we quote it, listens to what you are actually trying to solve, and puts a real number on paper. If something changes once we open up the site, you hear about it before we do the work, not after. We will also tell you honestly if a smaller, cheaper approach would serve you just as well — we would rather do the right-sized job and earn the next one than oversell you once.
Why a local owner-operator
Seth Dias owns Ten Four and is on the job, not just on the estimate, so the person accountable for your lawn aeration & overseeding is the person actually doing it. We have worked in these towns since 2012 and built a five-star Google reputation the honest way, one finished job at a time. A big franchise can send a different crew every visit; with us, you get the same face, the same standards and someone who still has to see you at the hardware store next week. That accountability is the whole point of hiring a local owner-operator. Our name is on the truck, on the estimate and on the reputation. Cutting a corner on your lawn aeration & overseeding is never worth it to us.
