The best time to aerate and overseed a lawn in Ohio is early fall — roughly late August through September. Warm soil, cooler air, and fall moisture give new grass the ideal window to germinate and establish before winter.
Fall seeding avoids spring's crabgrass competition and summer heat stress. The soil is still warm enough for fast germination, and young grass gets two cool growing seasons — fall and the following spring — to mature before its first summer.
Aeration and overseeding are two of the highest-impact things you can do for an Ohio lawn. See our lawn care program or call (937) 748-9431 to get on the fall schedule.
