Q: When is the best time to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>The best time to aerate a lawn is when there's plenty of moisture in the soil, which is the <b>fall or spring seasons</b>. However, keep in mind that lawn aeration isn't very effective when there has been a long period of heavy rain, as the excess water can potentially damage the lawn in the aeration process. Wait until your lawn is predominantly dry to start the aeration process to ensure best results.</p></div>

Q: Why is my grass dying?

• <div><p>The grass could be dying because it&rsquo;s overwatered or underwater. Additional issues include over-mowing the lawn, compacted soil, or a fungal disease in the lawn. In many instances, regular maintenance can keep grass from dying.</p></div>

Q: Is lawn renovation worth it?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;lawn renovation can turn your lawn from damaged to healthy in one month or less. You should also consider lawn renovation an investment in your home&rsquo;s future. Not only will a lawn renovation ensure that you have a beautiful, healthy, and thriving lawn, but when it comes time to sell your home, the curb appeal will increase your home&rsquo;s value.</p></div>

Q: How many passes should I make with a plug aerator?

• <div><p>If your lawn hasn't been aerated in over a year, or the soil is incredibly compacted, do two passes with the aerator. The first pass should follow your mowing pattern and the second one should form a perpendicular angle relative to the first. Stick to 20 to 40 holes per square foot as a rule of thumb.</p></div>

Q: How do I fix my lawn on a budget?

• <div><p>There are a few ways to fix your lawn on a budget, including:</p><ul><li><p>Identify the lawn care problem and learn how to seed, fertilize, and aerate your lawn. </p></li><li><p>Reseed old, damaged lawn with new grass that fares better in your environment. </p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-grass.htm">Remove grass from your yard</a> so you no longer need to worry about lawn care costs.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
