As a handyman, my skills encompass a wide range of tasks related to home maintenance and repair. Key skills include basic plumbing (fixing leaks, unclogging drains), electrical work (replacing outlets, installing light fixtures), carpentry (repairing furniture, building shelves), painting and drywall repair, and general maintenance tasks like cleaning gutters, repairing appliances, and assembling furniture. Over years of DIY projects, I’ve developed a proficiency in using various tools and an understanding of safety procedures are also essential. It’s difficult to find someone to show up on-time with a smile and good work ethic, let alone show up at all. This is why I chose to seek out projects I can help others with who have gone through the same painstaking process many of us have to find reliable help.

Lawns questions, answered by experts

Aerating a newly sodded lawn is generally not recommended immediately after installation. It's crucial to allow the sod to establish itself first, typically over the first growing season. Aerating too soon can disrupt the fragile root systems of the newly laid sod and potentially damage the turf. It's best to aerate prior to laying new sod or wait until the sod has fully rooted and the lawn is stable before considering aeration, usually after the first year.

Mow before aeration. After you've aerated the lawn, you can fertilize, water, and overseed. But wait at least two weeks after aeration before you mow.

If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice brown patches where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.

Your lawn needs to recover after aeration, so make sure the work is done at some point during its peak growing season. This will depend on your region and the type of grass you have, but generally, aerate once or twice per year, either during the late spring, early summer, or early fall.

You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality.
