Aeration and Overseeding in Macomb County, MI — When and Why
Aeration followed by overseeding is the single best thing you can do for a thinning Michigan lawn. Here's when to do it and what to expect.
Why Aeration + Overseeding Works So Well in Michigan
Michigan's clay-heavy soils — especially in Macomb County — compact easily over time. Once the soil is compacted, grass roots can't reach water or nutrients, and thin spots appear. Aeration relieves that compaction, and overseeding immediately after fills in bare or thin areas with new grass seed that falls directly into the aeration holes.
The combination is dramatically more effective than either treatment alone.
Best Time to Aerate and Overseed in Macomb County
Late August through September is the ideal window. Here's why:
Spring is a secondary option (April–May), but fall is preferred because weed pressure is lower and the grass has more time to establish before summer heat.
