IMO. It's a complete waste of time and money. Yes, you'll get a better oxygen exchange until the holes fill back in, which is shorty after a heavy rain. In our heavy clay soils one of the only times to do it is if you're going to top dress(backfill those holes with sand) It's more of a northern thing with overseeding. I've done it once a few years ago and it was a waste of time and it did nothing. It has it's places but if you live in the DFW and a lot of TX it's not needed. It might make you feel good that you did it, but at the end of the day it did nothing,and feel good is how most products/processes are sold nowadays.



Sometimes it's nice to feel good!! Going to give it a try and rent one from HD. Going to split the cost with a friend that lives nearby.

I totally get it and support the feel good. Rock on


Your advice did get me to put off aerating until June. That way the spring rains should be over and the holes should help with water penetration when I start watering this summer.

As always - your advice is very much appreciated.

Because St. A is terrible and should not be grown in Texas.

How big are the circles? If pretty large then it's probably brown patch. If small like 4" or so it could be brown patch or dollar spot. Get some close pics where the brown meets the green and see what the lesions look like. Dollar spot will have a more hourglass look. At the bottom of these links it shows close up pics of each.
