Question 1

When should you aerate a lawn in Grand Rapids, Michigan?

Accepted Answer

Fall aeration in Grand Rapids is best done between September 1 and mid-October. Cool-season grasses (Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, perennial rye — the dominant lawn mix in West Michigan) recover fastest during this window. Spring aeration is a distant second choice.

No. Badger Land Designs is a chemical-free lawn care company. We do not use herbicides, synthetic pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers. Our soil-first method uses core aeration, overseeding, organic fertilization, and mechanical/biological pest control.

Question 5

How do you fix compacted clay soil in a West Michigan lawn?
