Aeration is it to late?

I had a guy call the other day for aeration. I live in the midwest and was wondering if it was to late to perform this service? Thanks

 

If he's calling, go collect the money. Its not the best time for it, but it will be ok if he intends to put a winterizer down.

 

As long as the ground is not frozen. It will take a little longer for the plugs to disapear though.

 

My understanding is that it is okay to aerate right up until the first frost.

When doing an aeration in december, wouldn`t it hurt the grass,because the root system would be exposed to freezing temps before it has had a chance to come back from the aeration?

 

Hello Everybody:

I've talked to the County Agent about this several times & he says it's ok to aerate any time of the year except during frost. I think that would only be common sense not during the frost.

If you have a County Agent, they are very helpful & can help you quite a bit in most cases. I used mine a lot & got a lot of very good advice! They have a great deal of know how, experience & all kinds of resources to help you & your company be successful! BTW that's their job!

Sorry for the Short Post, I'll try to do better next time!
