When Is the Best Time of Year to Seed a Existing Lawn in Northern VA?
I do not have a green thumb. I have neglected my lawn off & on for 12 years. I have never seeded or even aerated my lawn in that time. The lawn is salvageable. When is the best time to seed a lawn in Northern VA? I was planning on aerating & seeding it this spring & fall. Is that overkill?

Aerate now, if you get a chance, to split up the work load. In the spring, (just a few short weeks away,) you’ll want to fertilize and overseed. This summer you’ll probably want to fertilize and kill off some weeds, any weed and feed product will probably work fine. And in the fall, reseed again. Just a single treatment should work wonders, so you’ll probably notice a huge difference this summer. Good luck!
