Aeration helps provide a healthy lush lawn.<\/h3>\n

Grasses fall into two different categories: warm-season and cool-season. Warm-season grasses start active growth in summer. Aerate a warm-season lawn in late spring to early summer, During this time the rapid growth will quickly fill in the holes you create.<\/p>\n

Cool-season turf comes out of dormancy in early fall and grows vigorously during the lower temperature. Just remember to plan your aeration to allow four weeks of growing time prior to frost.<\/p>\n


\nWarm-season turf types \u2013 aerate these in the spring or early summer:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u2022\tBahia grass
\n\u2022\tBermuda grass
\n\u2022\tCentipede grass
\n\u2022\tSt. Augustine grass
\n\u2022\tZoysia grass<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nCool-season turf types \u2013 aerate in fall:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n\u2022\tCreeping bent grass
\n\u2022\tFescue
\n\u2022\tKentucky bluegrass
\n\u2022\tRough bluegrass
\n\u2022\tRye grass (annual, perennial)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


\nHow to aerate in different soil types
\n<\/strong>
\nClay soil is compacted easily and should be aerated at least once a year. You can aerate a sandy lawn once a year, or on alternate years. In dry climates, aerating twice a year will enhance turf growth and health. If your lawn is used for parking cars, or have a lot of foot traffic you should aerate annually.<\/p>\n

\n\u2022\tAerate just prior to fertilizing or reseeding your lawn. Doing this creates openings for nutrients and seed to enter soil.
\n\u2022\tWeeds should be controlled prior to aerating, because aerating can spread weed seeds and weed roots.
\n\u2022\tWait at least a year to aerate new lawn, so that grass is well established.
\n\u2022\tAerate when soil is moist, but not saturated.
\n\u2022\tAvoid aerating during drought or high heat. If you aerate in these conditions, you\u2019ll stress the lawn by allowing heat to dry soil.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
