When to Aereate and then fertilize

13 years ago

I live close to Milwaukee, WI

I wanted to know when is the best time I should aereate and then fertilize my lawn? Can I do it now? Or wait until 9-22 which is the start of fall? We just had a nice rain storm 2 days ago so the lawn is nice and wet. Temps 1 week ago were hot in the 80's, last 2 days highs were in the 60's and from the looks of it temps will be staying in the 70's moving forward.

Let me know, thanks!
