Q: Do I need to aerate my lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when caring for my lawn?

• <div><p>Lawn care is tough work&mdash;even when you hire pros, there&rsquo;s no <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-dead-grass-your-lawn-inevitable.htm">guarantee your grass won&rsquo;t die</a> (unless, of course, your company offers a guarantee). But lawn care companies don&rsquo;t control the rain or watering restrictions. Your type of grass also impacts the type of care required to keep a lush lawn&mdash;and how much that care costs. Talk to a lawn care pro to determine the best times to treat your lawn based on type of grass and your climate. </p></div>

Q: What is the best thing to cover grass seed with?

• <div><p>Properly secured bird netting is the best option to cover your grass seed with. It creates a minor moisture barrier that can help seeds sprout, and it&rsquo;s a great way to keep birds away from your seeds. A cheaper, lower-maintenance option is hay or mulch, but these can change the look of your lawn and require cleanup in the case of straw.</p></div>

Q: Is it possible to overseed a lawn without aerating?

• <div><p>Yes, you can overseed your lawn without aerating it, but results may vary. If you have the time, dethatching or aerating your lawn before overseeding will yield the best results. Overseeding your lawn without aerating will work, but less seed will take root. For the best possible results, aerate your lawn before overseeding it.</p></div>

Q: How long does natural grass last?

• <div><p>If maintained correctly, natural grass should last between five and 15 years, or up to several decades, depending on your home&rsquo;s climate conditions. You can extend your grass&rsquo; lifespan by treating it well, including regular mowing, weeding, watering, and preventative pest control. Consider hiring a local lawn care service to provide everything your grass needs to live a long, healthy life.</p></div>
