Should you aerate your lawn in the fall?

Q:  It’s been a few years since I aerated my lawn. Is fall a good time?

A:  Fall lawn aeration is an important  task for maintaining a healthy, lush lawn. Plug aerating your lawn in the fall helps relieve soil compaction, improve root growth, and enhance nutrient and water absorption.  Once aerated, it’s a great time to overseed and feed the lawn.
