Lawn Aeration & Overseeding Medway, MA

Compacted soil is why your lawn stopped improving

Looking for lawn aeration & overseeding in Medway, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about twenty minutes away.

Lawn aeration and overseeding is the treatment for lawns that get mowing, feeding and water and still look thin. On the compacted, stony, clay-heavy ground common in this area, roots simply cannot push through the soil, so the grass stays shallow and struggles every summer. Medway homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every lawn aeration & overseeding job in town.

We use a core aerator that pulls real plugs rather than a spike machine that just pokes holes. Then we overseed with a quality blend matched to the sun and shade on your property and follow with a starter feed. The seed lands in the holes where it has soil contact and moisture, and by the following spring the difference is obvious.

Why Medway, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Lawn Aeration & Overseeding

Medway is a family-oriented town on the Charles River, north of Franklin. Its neighborhoods range from the historic homes of Medway Village along Village Street to ranch and colonial subdivisions off Route 109, Holliston Street and Winthrop Street. Lots here tend to be flatter and more open than in the ledge-heavy towns to the south, and many homeowners have real yards to work with. That makes Medway a great place for patios, lawns and plantings done right the first time.

The Charles River and Chicken Brook shape the ground in Medway. Soil near the river is sandy and drains fast, while the inland neighborhoods often sit on compacted till or old farmland with a hard layer under the topsoil. Both create lawn and drainage problems that look identical on the surface and need completely different fixes. That is why we check the soil and watch how water moves across the property before we recommend anything.

What drives the price
