What should I do if I cut my grass too short?

• <div><p>If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-brown-patches-my-grass.htm">brown patches</a> where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.</p></div>

Q: Is it really necessary to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>If you have a healthy lawn, it&rsquo;s not necessary to aerate it. However, lawn aeration comes with many benefits that can improve lawn health and help you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-save-money-lawn-care.htm">save money on lawn care</a>. </p><p>Aeration makes it easier for lawns to absorb water and key nutrients. It also encourages a strong root system and discourages weed growth. So do your lawn a favor: Make it as holey as Swiss cheese, and let it breathe. If you have more questions regarding aeration, you can contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/landscaping/">landscaping company near you</a>. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.</p></div>

Q: What seasons are ideal for lawn aeration to promote healthy grass growth?

• <div><p>Aerate during the growing season, typically in spring or fall, when grass can quickly recover.</p></div>

Q: Can you just sprinkle grass seed on a lawn for it to grow?

• <div><p>While you may see some germination by simply tossing a handful of new seeds on a lawn, you'll have more success by following the proper reseeding or overseeding process step-by-step. Without properly tilling, mowing, amending the soil, and watering your lawn, the new seed could blow away or simply fail to take root.</p></div>
