What are the benefits of aerating and overseeding my lawn?

The arrival of fall means that it is time to prepare your lawn for winter and beyond. Fall is the perfect time to prepare your lawn for the coming cold weather months and to ensure that your lawn comes back green in the spring. Fall is a great time because the air temperature is cooler, but the soil is still warm.

​It is very important to aerate your lawn so that the proper nutrients can reach the soil beneath the grass. The process of aeration is perforating your lawn with small holes to allow nutrients, water, and air to reach the roots of your grass. This will create a deeper root system and ultimately, a better lawn. It is even more important to aerate if your lawn receives heavy foot traffic, has thatch build-up, or if your grass was established by sod. Aerating before overseeding is ​important because it ensures that the green seed makes direct contact with the soil. 
Before you begin to aerate, it is important that your lawn isn’t dry. The ground should be moist so you should either aerate the day after a rainfall, or water your lawn the day before.  The most effective way to aerate your lawn is with a machine called a core aerator. The core aerator pulls out small cores of grass and soil. After aerating, spread fertilizer. Then, overseed your lawn. After overseeding, rake the grass seed in, to make sure there is good seed-to-soil contact. Finally, make sure that you are properly watering your lawn to ensure that the new grass seeds will grow.
