Taylor's WayA Thicker, Denser Lawn Starts With Fall Coring
Core aeration removes plugs of soil to reduce compaction and promote root growth — and overseeding fills thin areas so your lawn comes back denser. Taylor's Way handles both, the way we've cared for Illinois Valley lawns for over 50 years.

Why Core & Overseed This Fall?
Fall is when cool-season Illinois lawns do their best growing — warm soil, cooler air, and less weed competition give new seed its best start.
Reduce Compaction
Coring removes plugs of grass and soil so air, water, and nutrients can reach the root zone instead of sitting on hard-packed ground.
Promote Root Growth
Open soil channels let roots grow deeper and stronger — the foundation of a lawn that stands up to Illinois summers and winters.
Increase Lawn Density
Overseeding right after coring drops fresh seed into ideal soil contact, filling thin and bare areas for a noticeably fuller lawn.
What's Included
One visit, both services, completed by the lawn care experts your neighbors have trusted for generations.

How Your Lawn Transforms
Compacted
Hard-packed soil starves roots of air and water; grass thins out.
Cored
Plugs are pulled across the lawn, opening pathways to the roots.
Seeded
Fresh seed settles into the open holes for ideal seed-to-soil contact.
Established
New grass fills in dense and deep-rooted, ready for winter and spring.

What Your Neighbors Are Saying
"I have had Taylors Way come out for the past five years. They always do a great job. Chad was here recently to fertilize, but he also took the time to check to see if the mole issue was under control. I appreciate how he always goes above and beyond."
"Really happy with Taylor's Way Lawn Service. The tech was super helpful and took about 15–20 minutes to answer all our questions and go over everything with us. He gave some great suggestions too, which we really appreciated. Definitely recommend!"
"Aaron did a great job explaining what was going on with our lawn. It is in pretty bad shape. We are grateful that he cared enough to take the time to go over the issues and gave my husband some tips on what we could do to help it along with their services."
