What can I put on my grass to make it green?

• <div><p>There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. You can also apply a thin layer of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-compost.htm">compost on top of your lawn</a> at the beginning of spring to give the grass a nutrition boost, which helps it achieve that bright color you are looking for. </p></div>

What is the best lawn aeration method?

• <div><p>While your lawn will reap the benefits of core aeration faster than liquid aeration, the liquid solution will last longer and have more cumulative effects. If your lawn is in really bad shape, try both. By creating holes in the soil with the core aerator, you’ll make it easier for your lawn to absorb the liquid aerator solution. You might have to apply the liquid aerator several times during the growing season, but again, the positive results will be more cumulative than with core aeration on its own.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect lawn care costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on property size, service frequency, and additional tasks like aeration or overseeding.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>The best time to aerate a lawn is when there's plenty of moisture in the soil, which is the <b>fall or spring seasons</b>. However, keep in mind that lawn aeration isn't very effective when there has been a long period of heavy rain, as the excess water can potentially damage the lawn in the aeration process. Wait until your lawn is predominantly dry to start the aeration process to ensure best results.</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.
