Why Late Spring Aeration is Critical Before Soil Dry’s out & Chokes Your Lawns Root System

Aeration plugs on freshly aerated turf

Late spring is one of the most important times to aerate your lawn, as soil is still soft enough to relieve compaction before summer heat and dry conditions arrive. Core aeration improves airflow, water absorption, and nutrient penetration while encouraging deeper root growth that helps lawns stay healthy and resilient through drought and heat stress. Skipping or delaying aeration can lead to compacted soil, poor water absorption, thinning turf, and increased weed growth.
