In Colorado’s Front Range, dry conditions and compacted clay soils make aeration a crucial fall task for a healthy lawn. Aeration relieves soil compaction by removing small plugs of soil, allowing better water, air, and nutrient absorption. This process promotes root growth and enhances the lawn’s resilience against winter and summer stresses.
After aeration, overseeding fills in bare spots and thickens the lawn, while fall fertilization with a high-nitrogen product strengthens the grass for winter dormancy. A slow-release nitrogen fertilizer with potassium is ideal to support root health.
By aerating, overseeding, and fertilizing in the fall, your lawn will be healthier, greener, and ready for a strong spring.
