A healthy, vibrant lawn doesn’t happen by accident — it’s the result of consistent care, and one of the most powerful tools for restoring your lawn’s beauty is fall aeration. If you live in Middleboro or Lakeville, the cooler months of September and October are the best time to bring new life to your grass.
Why Fall Aeration Works Best
In Southeastern Massachusetts, fall provides the perfect combination of cooler air temperatures and warm soil. This encourages root growth without the stress of summer heat. Core aeration removes small plugs of soil from your lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone.
The Power of Slice Seeding & Overseeding
Pairing aeration with slice seeding and overseeding is like giving your lawn a fresh start. Slice seeding creates grooves in the soil for seed to settle in, while overseeding spreads new grass seed evenly across thin or patchy areas.
Common Problems Solved by Aeration
-
Compacted soil that limits root development
-
Thatch buildup that blocks nutrients
-
Bare spots caused by heavy traffic or pet damage
