Q: Why is it best to have my lawn aerated by a professional?

• <div><p>Experts use precise equipment to break up compacted soil, promoting healthy root growth and nutrient absorption.</p></div>

Q: Will grass turn green again after drought?

• <div><p>It depends on the condition of the grass during the drought. If your grass completely died, it won&rsquo;t turn green again after drought. However, if it just went dormant, you still have a chance to revive your lawn once drought conditions have passed. Follow proper lawn care practices after a drought to try and get your lawn back to its healthy, green self.</p></div>

Q: Is lawn aeration worth the money?

• <div><p>Strange as it may seem, poking holes in your lawn can do a great deal to help the grass grow back stronger, thicker, and happier. By allowing light, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, the grass can root down deeper and get more of what it needs to thrive. All of which is to say, if you care about the appearance of your lawn, yes, lawn aeration is usually worth the money&mdash;especially since it&rsquo;s not that expensive.</p></div>

Q: How often is lawn aeration recommended?

• <div><p>The frequency of lawn aeration depends on factors such as soil type, grass variety, and lawn usage. In general, it is recommended to aerate cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass or fescue once a year during the fall. On the other hand, warm-season grasses such as Bermuda or zoysia benefit from aeration in late spring or early summer. However, it's essential to assess your lawn's specific needs, as signs of compaction and reduced grass health may indicate the need for aeration outside these general guidelines.</p></div>

Q: What should I keep in mind when seeding my lawn?

• <div><p>Whether you&rsquo;re putting down fresh seed or reseeding, there are a few things to keep in mind when seeding your lawn. Be sure to choose the correct seed for your climate, seed at the right time of year, and water two to three times a day for the first week. Generally, Dudley recommends <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/plant-grass-spring.htm">seeding in spring</a> and fall as it is usually cooler and rainier. </p></div>
