The Best Times of Year to Mulch, Mow, and Aerate in Central Ohio

Lawn Mowing Schedule in Central Ohio

In Central Ohio, lawns typically begin growing actively in early April. Establishing a consistent lawn mowing schedule from spring through fall is key to maintaining healthy, green grass. Weekly mowing is recommended during peak growth seasons to avoid cutting too short and stressing the lawn.

At Lawn Harmony Landscaping, we provide weekly mowing from April through November to maintain the ideal height for your turf. Regular mowing also helps prevent weeds and promotes thick, resilient grass. Our service includes clean edging, trimming, and blowing off all clippings for a professional finish on every visit.

Best Time to Install Mulch

Mulch plays a major role in regulating soil temperature, conserving moisture, and blocking weed growth. The best time to apply mulch in Central Ohio is in late spring, once the ground has warmed and dried — usually in April or May. This timing helps protect plant roots and improve overall landscape health heading into summer.

A second round of mulch in the fall can insulate your plants before winter and keep your beds looking neat through the colder months. At Lawn Harmony, our mulch installation service ensures your beds are prepped, edged, and covered with a proper 2–3" layer of quality mulch in your chosen color.

Seasonal Aeration for Healthy Soil

Core aeration is one of the most effective lawn care treatments for compacted soil and root development. In Central Ohio, we recommend aeration in both the spring and fall. Spring aeration, usually around April, gives your grass a boost before the summer heat. Fall aeration in September prepares your turf for winter and promotes strong root systems for the next growing season.

Our team uses commercial-grade aerators to safely remove soil plugs, allowing water, oxygen, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone. Pairing aeration with overseeding and fertilization produces optimal results and a healthier, greener lawn.
