There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen.

Aeration is most effective when the soil is slightly moist but not excessively dry or waterlogged. If your lawn's soil is extremely dry, consider watering it a day or two before aeration to facilitate the process.
