Why Spring is the Best Time to Aerate and Seed Your Lawn

If your lawn was looking a little thin or tired last year, now is the time to give it a fresh start! Aeration and overseeding are two of the most powerful ways to revitalize your lawn—and spring is the ideal season to get it done.

Here’s why spring aeration and seeding is a must for North Carolina lawns, and how LTP Property Maintenance makes it easy and effective.

What is Lawn Aeration, and Why Does It Matter?

Aeration involves removing small plugs of soil from your lawn to relieve compaction and improve airflow, water absorption, and nutrient penetration.

Benefits of aeration include:
✅ Stronger root development
✅ Better resistance to drought and disease
✅ Thicker, greener grass

👉 If your soil is compacted or your yard sees heavy foot traffic, aeration is essential.

Why Overseeding in Spring is So Effective

Overseeding is the process of spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn. When done right after aeration, the seed can:

• Fall into the aeration holes
• Get better soil contact
• Germinate faster

✅ This fills in bare spots and helps crowd out weeds with thicker turf.



Why Spring is the Best Time to Aerate and Seed

🌱 Perfect Soil Temps – Spring soil is moist and warming up, which helps seed germinate quickly.
🌦 Consistent Rainfall – Helps keep soil and seeds hydrated naturally.
🌿 Less Weed Competition – Early spring weeds haven’t fully taken over yet.
🛠 Preps Your Lawn for Summer Stress – Healthy roots help grass survive the heat.

Timing is everything. Wait too long, and your grass could struggle in summer heat.
