Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to aerate my lawn in Kansas City?
For cool-season grasses (fescue, bluegrass) common in the KC metro, fall (late August through October) is ideal. The cooler temperatures help grass recover and grow into the aeration holes.
How often should I aerate?
Most lawns benefit from annual aeration. Lawns with heavy clay soil or high foot traffic may benefit from aeration twice per year.
Should I overseed after aeration?
Yes — aeration and overseeding together is one of the most effective lawn improvement combinations. The open holes give grass seed perfect seed-to-soil contact.
