Aeration & Overseeding in the Quad Cities
No published range. Landscaping labor in the QC area runs $50-100 per hour; your quote sets the exact price.
What changes the price
Lawn size
Aeration is priced by the thousand square feet of turf.
Soil compaction
Clay-heavy QC lots need a pass that's not too deep or the plugs shatter.
Seed rate
Overseeding is charged by the bag of seed spread, not a flat fee.
Access
A gate under 36 inches means a smaller machine and a slower pull.
What's included
- Core aeration with plugs left to break down
- Overseeding with a zone-appropriate cool-season blend
- Starter fertilizer with the seed
- Watering instructions for the first three weeks
How a local crew does it
- 01
Flag the line
We mark irrigation heads and invisible fences so the aerator tines don't snap them.
- 02
Core aerate
We pull 2–3 inch plugs on 3–4 inch centers to open the root zone, not just poke holes.
- 03
Overseed
We spread a ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass blend at the right rate for the thin spots.
- 04
Starter feed
We put down starter fertilizer so the new seedlings have phosphorus to root in.
When to book in zone 5b
Early fall is the window for the QC area — soil is warm, nights cool, and crabgrass is fading. Spring works but weeds compete harder.
