Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

Q: What seasons are ideal for lawn aeration to promote healthy grass growth?

• <div><p>Aerate during the growing season, typically in spring or fall, when grass can quickly recover.</p></div>

Q: Will my dry lawn come back?

• <div><p>Treating dry soil can bring back a dormant lawn, but not a dead one. After nurturing a dry lawn back to proper moisture levels, you should closely observe whether your grass revives with the soil. If not, you may need to reseed your lawn or start fresh with new turf. </p></div>

Q: How do you rough up soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>The easiest way to rough up soil to accept grass seed and provide the best opportunity for its growth is to make several passes over the area with a garden tiller and rake away the loosened vegetation and debris. However, in some cases, very hard ground may require using a shovel or pick to break up pieces into smaller chunks that the tiller can handle more easily. </p></div>

Two Green Thumbs does a good job. I started using her after I could no longer afford a more expensive company. She is good at fitting me in and at giving me a senior discount. She goes at a different angle across the lawn every time, so she doesn't leave tracks in the lawn. She's very aware of...

I like that he charges by the job, not by the hour. He came out and did a free estimate to start and said hey, you don't have a whole lot of lawn, I think I could do it twice a month and then it's going to cost you 30 bucks. He gave me ideas for certain things like how to tame down the weeds in...

They do a good job with my lawn, they are supposed to check the sprinklers but they don't seem to get them right. They bring our trashcans in and do tree service for us.
