When to Aerate Your Lawn?
When to Aerate Your Lawn
Aeration relieves soil compaction and lets air, water, and nutrients reach roots. Timing matters.
Best Timing for Aeration
Best Time: Fall (August-October): For cool-season grasses in NY and MI, fall aeration is ideal. Grass is actively growing, weeds are less competitive, and there’s time to recover before winter.
Signs You Need Aeration
- Water puddles or runs off instead of soaking in
- Hard, compacted soil
- Thin or patchy grass
- Heavy foot traffic areas
