This estimate is based on typical job parameters. Review and adjust for your specific situation. Standard market rates for your region, mid-grade materials unless specified, standard business hours labor rates, typical job complexity without major complications, basic cleanup included in labor time.
Job complexity
Simple repairs cost less than full installations or replacements. Multi-step jobs requiring permits or inspections add to the total.
Material quality
Budget, mid-grade, and premium materials can swing the price significantly. Discuss options with your contractor to find the right balance.
Local labor rates
Labor costs vary by region, season, and demand. Urban areas and peak seasons typically have higher rates than rural or off-peak times.
Site conditions
Difficult access, older structures, code upgrades, or unexpected issues discovered during work can increase the final cost.

Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
Start by assessing the yard size, as this is a primary cost factor. Small, basic suburban lots might fall into the $33–$89 range, while larger yards, especially those requiring additional services, could command prices up to $475. Consider the type of aeration (e.g., core aeration), the slope of the property, and any obstacles.
Labor costs are influenced by the time required to complete the job, the number of crew members, and the equipment used. Larger, more complex yards with uneven terrain or numerous obstacles will naturally increase labor time. Efficiency in equipment operation and proper scheduling can help manage these costs.
Overseeding is often recommended immediately after aeration, as the newly created holes provide an ideal environment for seed-to-soil contact. This is particularly beneficial for lawns with thin or bare patches, or to introduce new grass varieties for improved density and resilience. Offering aeration plus overseeding can increase the job's value, potentially pushing it into the $107–$250 or even $251–$475 range discussed in the premium tier.
Yes, common types include core (or plug) aerators and spike aerators. Core aeration, which removes plugs of soil, is generally more effective and may be priced slightly higher due to the equipment's cost and the effort involved. Spike aeration pokes holes without removing soil, and while less effective, might be offered at a lower price point for very basic services or smaller yards.
Research local competitors' pricing for similar services and yard sizes. Consider your operational costs, including equipment maintenance, labor, and fuel.
