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 save money on lawn maintenance?

• <div><p>Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you&rsquo;re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-save-money-lawn-care.htm">save time and money on lawn maintenance</a> by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you. </p></div>

Q: Can I combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments?

• <div><p>Yes, you can typically combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments. However, follow the specific product's instructions and consider the compatibility of treatments. In most cases, liquid aeration can complement fertilization, overseeding, or weed control programs. Combining treatments strategically can address multiple aspects of your lawn's health and appearance simultaneously. Always read and adhere to the guidelines provided by the product manufacturers to ensure safe and effective application.</p></div>

Q: Should I water the lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Yes, you should water the lawn after aerating. Now that you&rsquo;ve loosened up the soil to better receive nutrients, it&rsquo;s time to hydrate and fertilize your lawn. You&rsquo;ll want to keep it evenly moist to promote healthy growth. Don&rsquo;t drown your grass&mdash;too much of a good thing can reverse all the work you&rsquo;ve done with aeration in the first place. But especially if you&rsquo;ve overseeded and/or fertilized after aeration, you&rsquo;ll want to ensure a moist soil layer to absorb those nutrients and fuel for new growth.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>The best way to aerate your lawn depends on what kind of grass and soil you have and your budget and patience level. There are many options to choose from, including spike aerators, core aerators, aerator shoes, and more, and many types can be found in either manual or motorized versions.</p></div>
