Why Is Aeration & Seeding So Important?

Fescue is a cool season turf. The further north you travel, the better it looks. It’s designed to thrive in cooler weather. So, it looks really nice in Georgia and North Carolina during the fall, winter, and spring months. THEN, we get to summer. There is just no way fescue grass can withstand the high temperatures and lack of rain during the summer. It will fade out due to heat stress or even disease. Brown patch is a huge issue for fescue turf. Post to come on that later. The only way to replace the turf that dies during the summer is to plant new grass. The best way to replace these areas is to aerate the soil and then plant new seed.
