Core Aeration: Why Fall is the Ideal Time

Your lawn has been through a lot this year — scorching heat, dry soil, and summer stress. But now that fall is here, it’s the perfect time to help your turf bounce back before winter sets in. In this Healthy Lawns segment, Dr. Jim Wilkinson explains why fall is the ideal season to aerate your lawn.


Why Aerate This Fall?

Core aeration is one of the best things you can do for your lawn right now. It helps your grass breathe, grow stronger, and thrive — both now and next season.

Here’s how it helps:

Loosens compacted soil — allows roots to spread deeper and stronger
Improves air, water & nutrient flow — promotes overall lawn health
Stimulates root growth — even in cooler temperatures
Encourages thatch decomposition — reduces buildup that can choke your grass
Prepares your lawn for spring — healthier growth when warm weather returns

Unlike dethatching, aeration gently breaks up thatch without pulling out beneficial grass or damaging your lawn’s surface.
