Q: Can you hydroseed over old grass?

• <div><p>Hydroseeding over an existing lawn is possible, but certain adjustments are necessary since the process is for bare soil. Hydroseed mix is usually very thick, which helps protect the seeds during germination. If you have existing grass on your site and still want to hydroseed, it's better to use a finer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-mulch-your-garden.htm">mulch mixture</a> when spraying. A finer mulch mix means the seeds can root into existing soil without suffocating the existing grass.</p></div>

Q: How often should you core aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Experts typically recommend aerating your lawn about once per year, but your aeration frequency will depend on your soil type, lawn condition, and other factors. For instance, you should aerate annually if you have clay-heavy soil or frequent foot traffic in your backyard. However, if your soil is loose or sandy and you don't use your yard often, you can probably aerate every other year.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my lawn green in a drought?

• <div><p>First, make sure you&rsquo;re watering your grass early in the morning (and keep in mind you don&rsquo;t have to water every day). Doing this helps ensure the water is able to soak in before the hot temps evaporate all of the water. Also, when you mow, don&rsquo;t mow your grass as short as you would in non-drought conditions. Taller grass can help slow down the rate at which soil dries out. Finally, take your leftover lawn clippings and spread them out across the lawn to give it a little extra shade and nutrients.</p></div>

Q: What is the best time of year to redo a lawn?

• <div><p>Depending on the lawn treatments, the best times of the year to redo your lawn are between mid-August and mid-September for overseeding and renovation treatments. For areas such as the southern United States, lawn aeration works best during the fall, when the temperatures begin to drop. Otherwise, early spring is your next best bet because the grass is fresh and ready to absorb nutrients, and the temperature isn&rsquo;t hot enough to fry the grass and the renovation materials.</p></div>

Q: What improvements can I expect after professional aeration?

• <div><p>Enhanced root development, better fertilizer uptake, and improved drought resistance.</p></div>
