When is the best time to aerate warm-season grasses in Texas?
Warm-season grasses should be aerated when they’re actively growing — not dormant. That’s when they can heal and take full advantage of the extra oxygen and space.
Ideal Aeration Timing
For Central Texas, the best aeration window is:
April to early September
This timing works perfectly for:
St. Augustine
Bermuda
Zoysia
Avoid aerating in winter — the grass is dormant and can’t recover properly.
