The Perfect Timing for Core Aeration — Why Fall Is Best

Timing matters in lawn care. For cool-season grasses like tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass,
and perennial ryegrass, fall is the best season for aeration.

Why Fall Beats Spring:
1. Cooler temps mean less stress on turf.
2. Warm soil encourages rapid root growth.
3. Weed pressure is low.
4. Perfect pairing with overseeding.

In southeastern Pennsylvania, late August through early October is the ideal window for fall
aeration.
