Why Aeration and Overseeding are Essential for Cool-Season Grasses

Aeration and overseeding are essential for a healthy, vibrant lawn, especially in the Ohio Valley’s climate. While these services can be performed in spring or fall, February is the ideal time to start planning them for optimal results. Here’s why:

• Improved Soil Health: Over time, soil becomes compacted due to foot traffic, weather, and general use. Aeration helps break up that compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil effectively.

• Thicker Turf: Overseeding introduces fresh grass seed into your lawn, filling in bare spots and thickening the overall turf. This not only improves the appearance but also creates a stronger, more resilient lawn.

• Weed Resistance: A dense, healthy lawn naturally crowds out weeds, reducing the need for chemical weed control.
