Located in central Texas. I have Bermuda grass and was wondering if you can aerate lawns in the fall or just wait until May?

Yes you can.

Wait until June when it's hot and peak growing time for bermuda

I do mine in march. I cut low almost to scalping then rake the clippings away and plug aerate. I also top dress it.

I worked on baseball fields and we would aerated in February and then topdress with sand, and then we'd repeat the process in May before summer baseball.

Since we are expecting a dry fall and winter you may want to just stand fast and wait until February 2025

I have a large heavy 72" plug aerator i pull with my tractor that I use about end of March or so. Then overseed and fertilize. Holy moly did the yard explode after the first time I did it! More improvement than years and years prior before I had that implement.

I do provide this as a service if someone needing it done within reasonable distance of Alvin.

Spring is generally the best time. Throw out your fertilizer and a half inch of compost right after and stand back…..
