Is core aeration needed when seeding?
Southeastern Clay soils can become very compact. This inhibits the ability of both newly seeded fescue and established fescue to form a strong deep root system. The stronger the root system becomes, the greener, healthier and thicker your fescue lawn will be. Core aeration also helps to keep the seed moist during the germination stage. The seed must remain moist during this stage or it will never mature.
