Q: What fall lawn prep should I do for spring?

• <div><p>In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn&rsquo;s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. </p></div>

Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

Q: How much is an aerator?

• <div><p>Lawn aerators range in cost depending on what type of aerator you&rsquo;re purchasing. For example, a manual spike aerator might cost as little as $25, while a motorized core aerator will likely cost more than $1,000. Fortunately, these expensive pieces of equipment can be easily rented from many vendors for far less money.</p></div>

Q: Should I aerate before power seeding?

• <div><p>Power seeding machines do a great job of creating narrow trenches in the soil to plant grass seeds into, but aerating before power seeding can be beneficial for your lawn. By aerating first, more water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide can reach the roots of your germinating grass seeds. Plan to aerate your lawn about once or twice a year, whether you plan to power seed or not.</p></div>

Q: Why did my grass suddenly turn yellow?

• <div><p>A lawn that suddenly and quickly turns yellow is typically the result of a dramatic change in the grass's environment. Heavy rainfall can dilute soil nutrients, rapidly yellowing the grass, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-sharpening-lawn-mower-blades.htm">dull lawn mower blades</a> can dry out and damage the grass in a short time. Over-fertilizing can yellow a lawn within a matter of days. </p></div>
