Will aeration help a bumpy lawn?

• <div><p>If your lawn has some lumps and bumps, yes, aeration can help—although it may also be beneficial to take on other steps, like irrigation, fertilization, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/aerator-vs-dethatcher.htm">dethatching</a> (also known as scarifying). You can also use a power rake to physically break up the bumps in your lawn, which can help you achieve a more even look.</p></div>

Is dethatching more important than aerating?

• <div><p>No. Both processes are important for a healthy yard and work toward a similar goal, although dethatching serves a slightly different purpose. Making sure the thatch doesn’t grow too thick prevents other lawn problems, such as attracting pests if the plant decay layer gets too big. Aeration puts less strain on your lawn than dethatching, but both are of equal importance.</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>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. </p></div>

Q: What improvements can I expect after professional aeration?

• <div><p>Enhanced root development, better fertilizer uptake, and improved drought resistance.</p></div>

"My wife and I hired them to renovate our bathroom and kitchen and install a wheelchair ramp. Man, it looks so great in here. They did their best to save us money and make sure we understood what was going on before, during and all the way until completion. We live in a mobile home which definitely was not as easy as a stick house and they found issues we hadn't been aware of. A 3 day estimate turned into nearly 2 1/2 weeks. Again, the issue wasn't their fault, it was working on the mobile home. They worked tirelessly and met all our needs. Definitely recommend and next room we need done we will be calling for them. They also removed trees around the yard that we needed out. They also hauled off all the materials afterwards. Again, so thankful for all their hard work. Pics of bathroom and what they did. I don't have a completed pic of the kitchen because we are still arranging things and its pretty messy currently. "
