What grass type does aeration in Akron target?+

Most Akron lawns are Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and rye. Our aeration program is calibrated to those species and to the local four real seasons climate, not a generic national playbook.

How does Akron's climate change aeration timing?+

In Akron, the active growing window runs April through October. We schedule aeration around that window so visits land when they actually move the needle - earlier or later than the national calendar when local soil temps demand it.
