Core aeration pulls small soil plugs from the lawn so air, water, and fertilizer reach roots. On North Texas clay, many yards benefit from aeration once or twice per year depending on traffic, compaction, and grass type.
Spring and fall are the usual windows
Spring aeration helps warm season grass recover and prepare for summer heat. Fall aeration supports recovery after summer stress and pairs well with overseeding on thin areas. Bermuda and Saint Augustine each have slightly different growth peaks, so your technician may adjust timing for your lot.
Signs you need aeration
Water runs off quickly, footprints stay visible on wet turf, or fertilizer seems to sit on the surface. Those patterns often mean compaction, not a lack of product. Read the spring aeration guide and soil compaction and aeration basics for more detail.
