Aeration and seeding is immensely important if you have a fescue lawn. Why?, you ask. Well, fescue doesn't self germinate. Fescue is not going to re-populate barren or brown areas. Throughout the year, those areas will remain barren. At least until the weeds take over. Even if your lawn is treated with weed control, weeds tend to fill in areas that are not populated by turf. Most simply, a healthy fescue lawn is a lawn that is cared for throughout the year, and aerated and seeded every fall. We recommend the following steps to keep your fescue lawn looking great.
- Maintain your lawn throughout the year with pre and post emergent weed control, fertilizer, and lime
- Water appropriately (don't over or under water or water during humid daytime hours)
- Mow your lawn properly
- If your lawn is prone to brown patch disease, treat with a fungicide
- Aerate and seed annually
Occasionally, other factors could affect the health of your lawn; but more often than not, the above listed tips are all you need to know. For more information about aeration and seeding, click
