Q: Can I just throw grass seed down on existing lawn?

• <div><p>You can try that, but it isn't likely to yield results. It's like watering potted plants without putting the seeds in. Most of the tossed grass seeds sit on top of the soil or existing grass blades and never germinate. The seeds need to make it into the soil, just like growing a potted plant. The best way to accomplish this is to aerate your lawn first, then overseed.</p></div>

Q: Is it really necessary to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>If you have a healthy lawn, it&rsquo;s not necessary to aerate it. However, lawn aeration comes with many benefits that can improve lawn health and help you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-save-money-lawn-care.htm">save money on lawn care</a>. </p><p>Aeration makes it easier for lawns to absorb water and key nutrients. It also encourages a strong root system and discourages weed growth. So do your lawn a favor: Make it as holey as Swiss cheese, and let it breathe. If you have more questions regarding aeration, you can contact a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/landscaping/">landscaping company near you</a>. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of lawn aeration?

• <div><p>Aeration improves soil health, enhances water and nutrient absorption, and promotes stronger grass roots.</p></div>

Q: Can I just throw seed on my lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, you can throw seed on a lawn and hope it grows, but taking a few steps beforehand, such as dethatching, aerating, or raking, will give the seed a better chance of germinating. While it sounds like it&rsquo;ll save time, throwing seed on the lawn without doing anything will require much more seed than any other method.</p></div>

Q: Why does my St. Augustine grass look bad?

• <div><p>Your St. Augustine grass might look bad due to cold winter months, drought, pest invasion, or lawn disease. The first step is properly identifying the problem. Once you&rsquo;ve figured out what&rsquo;s making your grass look bad, you&rsquo;ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:</p><ul><li><p>Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.</p></li><li><p>Use healthy irrigation techniques.</p></li><li><p>Use the right amount of fertilizer.</p></li><li><p>Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.</p></li><li><p>Use fungicides.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>
