A thick, healthy lawn doesn’t happen by accident. Over time, soil becomes compacted, grass thins out, bare areas develop, and weeds begin taking advantage of the open space. Core aeration and overseeding are two of the most effective ways to rejuvenate an existing lawn without starting over.
For lawns on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, late summer through early fall is one of the best times to aerate and overseed. The soil is still warm enough for strong seed germination, while cooler air temperatures create better growing conditions for new grass.
