As summer winds down and cooler temperatures begin to set in, your lawn is ready for some much-needed attention. If you’ve been thinking about core aeration and overseeding, Fall is the ideal time to take action. Here’s why:
Cooler Weather = Less Stress
Fall’s moderate temperatures create the perfect environment for grass seed to germinate and thrive. Unlike the heat of summer, which can put stress on your lawn, cooler weather helps new seedlings establish strong roots without the risk of drying out too quickly. This also gives the grass two seasons to grow, this fall and the following spring!
Repair Summer Damage
Summer can be tough on lawns—between heavy foot traffic, heat stress, and possible insect or disease damage. Aerating and seeding now helps fill in thin and bare spots, ensuring a thicker, healthier lawn that bounces back from summer wear and tear.
Aeration Creates the Perfect Seedbed
Core aeration loosens compacted soil and creates channels for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone. It also provides direct contact between the soil and the seed, which improves germination rates. Essentially, aeration sets the stage for your new grass to succeed.
Get Ahead of Weeds
Weeds like crabgrass are on their way out as fall arrives, which means less competition for your new grass seedlings. This gives your lawn the upper hand heading into next spring. Stronger Roots for Next Year
Stronger Roots for Next Year
Seeding now allows your new grass to establish deep roots before winter dormancy. By the time spring rolls around, your lawn will already be stronger, fuller, and better prepared to handle stress.
Don’t Wait—The Time Is Now
Core aeration and seeding in the fall give your lawn its best chance to thrive. By acting now, you’ll be setting yourself up for a greener, thicker, and healthier lawn come spring.
