WHEN TO AERATE?

- Both spring and fall are ideal times to aerate cool season turf grass such as Kentucky
bluegrass and perennial ryegrass. In most cases, spring aeration is performed between
March and May, depending on the locations, turf grass species and intensity of use.
Fall aeration is done in late summer and early fall, usually between August and
November. Aeration before or at the time of late season fertilization enhances root
growth responses and improves spring green up and growth.
- Annual aeration is beneficial for most lawns. Lawns growing on heavy clay or
compacted soils, and lawns exposed to intense use, benefit from more than one
aeration each year. In general, benefits from core aeration increase when tine spacing
is closer and penetration is deeper. Most turf grasses respond favorably to aeration
when it is properly timed.
