Q: What should I keep in mind when seeding my lawn?

• <div><p>Whether you&rsquo;re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plant-grass-spring.htm">seeding in spring</a> and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier. </p></div>

Q: Is carpetgrass hard to maintain?

• <div><p>Carpetgrass is a low-maintenance grass requiring little fertilization that thrives in subprime growing conditions. However, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/when-to-mow-new-grass.htm">regular mowing</a> is necessary to avoid the growth of unsightly seed stalks, and you may have to water it frequently to prevent drying out the soil. That includes watering the grass over dry winters to help keep it healthy, and it may start dying out in particularly cold climates where it grows poorly. Carpetgrass can also be vulnerable to some types of turf fungus, so it&rsquo;s important not to overthatch. </p></div>

Q: How do professionals handle uneven terrain during aeration?

• <div><p>Professional equipment adapts to different terrains, ensuring thorough aeration across all lawn areas.</p></div>

Q: What’s the ideal schedule for aerating a lawn?

• <div><p>The frequency of lawn aeration depends on various factors such as soil type, grass variety, and lawn usage. In most cases, aerating once a year, typically in the fall or early spring, is sufficient to maintain a healthy lawn. However, lawns subject to heavy foot traffic or especially compacted soil may benefit from more frequent aeration, possibly every six months. It's essential to assess your lawn's specific needs and consult with a lawn care professional if you're unsure about the ideal aeration schedule for your property.</p></div>

Q: Is there a bad time to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Yes! Aerating your lawn during its dormancy period&mdash;usually over winter and early spring&mdash;can cause a disturbance that the grass may not easily recover from. Instead, you should aerate your lawn during its peak growth period, usually in the late summer or early fall (though with some variation based on specific grass type).</p></div>
