"Joe and his team installed grass from scratch in our Carmel Valley home. They took away old dried up grass, re-leveled the area, installed a mesh under the grass to prevent more gophers from making holes, and installed new Marathon. It looks great! Joe and his team were very professional, and completed the work in the time they said they would. Joe cares a lot regarding the quality of the job and has excellent communication. He is both knowledgeable and friendly. When they came in we were still ruffled from a prior difficult experience with a hardscape company, and Joe and his team helped put us to ease. We had a great experience with them and highly recommend Joe and his team to anyone else."

"This is my second experience with Angi. The first was EXCELLENT. This was the opposite. I hired Romero Landscape to do an initial trim and clean-up of my yard, followed by service every 2-3 weeks. His guys (not the guy I had been corresponding with) finally arrived today (after lots of back and forth and many texts left unanswered) while I was away from home and cut back my jasmine bushes and my raised garden bed (I was clear the raised garden bed was not part of the job). No weed pulling. No tree trimming (I was clear that was the main thing I needed). Clipped two irrigation lines. Made a small effort to clean up. So, I texted saying, "I'm assuming someone is coming back tomorrow to finish the job." I got a bunch of angry aggressive texts and ended up blocking him. Ugh. There's obviously a reason they only have one review. LESSON LEARNED."

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Implement overseeding and fertilization to maximize aeration benefits and strengthen your lawn.

Break up hard dirt in your yard with popular methods such as core aeration or manual aeration with a spade, mini excavator, or pitchfork. You can also alter your soil to keep it from compacting in the future. Adding compost, groundcover plants, or aeration granules—preferably made of organic materials—can also soften your ground and encourage water saturation.

Aerating a newly sodded lawn is generally not recommended immediately after installation. It's crucial to allow the sod to establish itself first, typically over the first growing season. Aerating too soon can disrupt the fragile root systems of the newly laid sod and potentially damage the turf. It's best to aerate prior to laying new sod or wait until the sod has fully rooted and the lawn is stable before considering aeration, usually after the first year.

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.

Aerate during the growing season, typically in spring or fall, when grass can quickly recover.
