Spring core aeration

Core aeration pulls finger-sized plugs of soil and thatch out of the lawn so air, water, and nutrients can reach the root zone. It is the single biggest cultivation lever for compacted, heavily-used turf and pairs well with overseeding.

Shallow soil temperatures are in the action band at 55.2°F at the Quinault 4 NE sensor, 66 miles from your location.

Window: Mar 1 to May 31. Window typically open for 2 to 3 weeks.

Spring overseeding (cool-season)

Dropping new seed in spring fills thin spots once 2-inch soil temperatures sustain germination temperatures for tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, and ryegrass. Spring overseeding is viable but secondary to fall — summer crabgrass pressure and pre-emergent restrictions make fall the higher-success window.
