Vinegar cannot tell the difference between weeds and desired grass types; it kills everything it touches.

When hiring a lawn aeration professional, they may suggest other related services to get your lawn looking lush and fabulous. Prior to scheduling any of the following services, you should consult your lawn care pro about the order and timing of multiple projects to ensure best results for your grass. These services might include:

• Lawn mowing

• Overseeding or reseeding your lawn

• Fertilizing

Setting time aside a few times per week to pull weeds can keep them at bay. If the number of weeds gets overwhelming, then you can resort to other methods.
