When Should You Aerate Your Lawn? A Simple Seasonal Guide
Picture your lawn taking a deep breath after a season of foot traffic, rain, and play. In that moment, the soil opens, roots stretch, and water sinks instead of puddling—and it all starts with timing. Many homeowners ask, almost like a gardener’s riddle: when should you aerate your lawn? It depends on grass type, local weather, and how compacted the soil is; get the timing right, and everything that follows—watering, feeding, overseeding—works smarter, not harder.
