<![CDATA[Fall Aeration (Fescue)]]>Sat, 09 Sep 2023 00:29:44 GMThttp://majesticlandscapes.org/helpful-articles/fall-aeration-fescue
​A healthy lawn starts with healthy roots. And healthy roots need oxygen, water, and nutrients. 
Fall Aeration
Aeration helps to loosen the soil and create small holes that allow oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. This promotes deep root growth, which makes your lawn more drought-tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases. It also improves drainage, which helps to prevent waterlogging and lawn diseases.
Seeding
Seeding your lawn in the fall is a great way to thicken it up and fill in any bare spots. 
Fertilizer
Fertilizing your lawn in the fall helps to give it a boost of nutrients that it needs to survive the winter. 
When to Aerate, Seed, and Fertilize
The best time to aerate, seed, and fertilize your lawn is in the fall, after the summer heat has passed and before the ground freezes. This gives the grass time to establish itself before the winter.
