<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhen Should You Aerate in Texas?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Aerating lawns in Texas can occur in both the spring and the fall. A lot of it has to do with the soil temperature. You don\u2019t want it to be too hot or you\u2019ll risk drying out the grassroots of your existing grass. However, the milder temperatures of both spring and fall make those seasons ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were to only pick one, we\u2019d recommend the spring<\/a><\/strong>, before entering the prime growing season. The loosened soil helps the fertilization that we apply in the spring to be more effective. When you apply fertilizer<\/a> atop of clay-like soil, it just sits there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many lawn care experts in the Dallas-Fort Worth area advise that aeration service is most effective in the fall. Cooler fall temperatures prevent the ground from drying out after aeration, and there is less chance of a weed invasion<\/a> after fall aeration than spring aeration. However, because many North Texas lawns are planted with warm-season grasses, spring aeration is also highly effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned, lawn aeration in Texas can be performed in both spring and fall, and many homeowners want it completed bi-annually in order to really maximize the benefit that they get out of this service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, at the very least, you should be having this service performed annually. Given our soil type, it\u2019s too important to let more than a year pass without aerating. Any other service or efforts you make like watering or fertilizing are not going to be as impactful without well-aerated soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Though some people attempt DIY aeration, this is a much more involved service than they often realize. The equipment that is typically available for rent is often clunky and has likely been overused. Oftentimes the equipment is also very heavy\u2014a lot heavier than most people realize\u2014and the task of doing a full pass over the yard is exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s more time-consuming and laborious than the average homeowner has bargained for. Plus, very few people really want to spend their time performing aeration on their own when they have better things to be doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And don\u2019t forget to mark the sprinkler heads and any shallow lines before aerating! This is actually another pro to using a lawn aerating service from Grassperson as this important task is taken care of by us as part of the service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"lawn](\"https:\/\/www.grassperson.com\/hs-fs\/hubfs\/Images\/lawn%20aeration%20cores%20in%20grass.jpg?width=1000&name=lawn%20aeration%20cores%20in%20grass.jpg\")
