What causes lawn depressions?

• <div><p>Many factors can cause your yard to have lawn depressions. Here are the most common reasons: </p><ul><li><p>Heavy rainfall </p></li><li><p>Wild animals such as moles, voles, and groundhogs that burrow and tunnel</p></li><li><p>Poor drainage</p></li><li><p>Buried items such as pipes that break down</p></li><li><p>Decaying tree roots or stumps</p></li><li><p>Soil that has compacted</p></li><li><p>Improper mowing techniques</p></li><li><p>Driving heavy equipment and vehicles through the yard</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can you core aerate too much?

• <div><p>Short answer: yes. Although aeration is beneficial for most lawns and soil types, if it’s done too frequently, you can weaken the grass’s roots so much that they’ll begin to have trouble. Generally, most lawns can be aerated as infrequently as once every one to three years, although those with more foot traffic and compaction may benefit from aeration up to twice yearly.</p></div>

How long does it take the yard to look normal again?

• <div><p>You may need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-lay-sod.htm">lay sod</a> on the areas you dug up once you get the okay from the contractor. It will take about <b>30 to 45 days for the sod to take root</b>. Consult a local sod installer to get an accurate estimate of the timeline of your specific yard-enhancement project.</p></div>
