Golf course management by aerating the fairway


Core aeration is a key turf grass management tool to improve the overall health and appearance of all grass types. Warm season turf lawns should have core aeration completed around the end of May to July. Aeration will help improve soil compaction, air circulation, water and nutrient uptake. In addition, it will prevent thatch buildup and decrease disease pressure. Lastly, aeration will help increase turf density and fill in thin areas on warm season turf that may have received damage. Core aeration on fescue should be done when you are seeding the lawn in the fall.
