Tip of the week: Fall Aeration
August 20, 2025
Is your lawn burnt from the heat in the summer? Now is the perfect time to aerate & regrow your lush grass!
🍂 Why Fall Aeration Sets Your Lawn Up for Spring Success 🌱
When you think about preparing your lawn for spring, it may seem early to start in September or October — but actually, fall is the most important season to invest in your grass.
Why Aeration Matters:
Breaks Up Compacted Soil:
Over the summer, heavy foot traffic and heat can cause soil to harden, preventing water, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots. Aeration opens up your lawn so it can “breathe” again.
Boosts Root Growth Before Winter
Aerating in fall gives roots extra room to expand and absorb nutrients, making them stronger to survive the cold months ahead.
Prepares for Thicker, Greener Spring Grass
A lawn aerated in fall can absorb fertilizer and moisture more efficiently, leading to a lush, vibrant yard when spring arrives.
Why Fall Is the Best Time
Cooler temperatures and increased rainfall create the perfect conditions for grass recovery and growth after aeration. Plus, your lawn has months to repair and strengthen before facing the next summer’s stress.

Save $$$ This Fall with These Quick Fixes
Labor Day is around the corner and fall is on its way. Before the leaves start piling up and the temperatures drop, here are 3 simple, proactive things every homeowner should do this week — plus local help if you need a hand!
1. Clean Your Gutters
- Clogged gutters lead to roof leaks, ice dams, and even flooded basements.
- Remove leaves and check your downspouts
- Or hire a trusted local to handle it in one afternoon
2. Check Your Roof (From the Ground!)
Walk the perimeter of your home and look up:
- Are any shingles curled, cracked, or missing?
- Do you see signs of moss or streaking?
- Are vents or flashing out of place?
Early signs of roof damage can turn into costly repairs if ignored!
3. Walk Your Foundation and Windows
Look for hairline cracks near your basement, siding, and windows. Seal them before they let in water or drafts. A local handyman can handle this in a single visit.
