Q&A – Should I aerate my Bermuda when it is coming out of dormancy?

Question:
Should I aerate my Bermuda when it is coming out of dormancy?

Answer:
Warm season grasses – Bermuda and zoysia – should be aerated when they are actively growing. This is best done in June or July. While they are still coming out of dormancy in the spring, aeration can damage the lawn. Aerating creates holes in the soil which can be filled by spreading compost on your lawn. The lawn will love the organic matter and the grass will thrive.
