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>

How do I keep my lawn green in a drought?

• <div><p>First, make sure you’re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don’t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don’t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.</p></div>

Q: What fall lawn prep should I do for spring?

• <div><p>In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn&rsquo;s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to aerate or scarify a lawn?

• <div><p>Both aerating and scarifying your lawn can offer serious benefits. Aerating pokes holes in the soil to better allow air, moisture, and nutrients to permeate while scarifying removes the buildup of dead plant matter at the soil&rsquo;s surface. Most lawns require both of these maintenance items to thrive.</p></div>

Great work! Rough Terrain did more than I was looking for. Made excellent suggestions and helped make our choices much easier. All lawn care and plants are doing so good. I'd love for them to come back in the spring to see how beautiful our yard is going to be.

Great! Transformed my yard by just doing weekly maintenance. Instead of charging me a cleanup fee he just said by weekly maintenance they would clean up and make my yard "pop". They did.
