Understanding Aeration Aeration is the process of perforating the soil with holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate down to the roots. This is especially important for Bermuda grass, which can develop a thick thatch layer and compacted soil over time. Aeration helps alleviate these issues, promoting healthier growth and a more resilient lawn. When to Aerate Bermuda Grass The best time to aerate a Bermuda grass lawn is during its active growing season, which typically falls between late spring and early summer. Here are some key points to consider: 1. **Optimal Timing**: Aim to aerate your Bermuda grass lawn in late spring ( April to June) when the grass is actively growing. This timing allows the grass to recover quickly from the aeration process. 2. **Avoiding Dormancy**: Avoid aerating during the fa ll or winter months when Bermuda grass goes dormant. Aerating during this time can stress the grass and hinder its recovery. 3. **Soil Moisture**: Aerate ...
