Is there a particular season of the year that is better to aereate my lawn? Is it best to wait until spring?
Thanks, Mary Simpson

The best time to do aeration is when the lawn is actively growing. Early fall, as soon as the weather has cooled a bit from summer's high temperatures and there are seasonal rains, is a great time in your area. Be sure to use a machine that pulls up plugs or cores rather than one with spikes that just punch holes. Good luck with your lawn!
