When should I aerate my own lawn?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn in the fall or spring when there is plenty of moisture in the soil. If you plan to aerate twice annually, you can do so once in the fall and once in the spring. You don’t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don’t want to aerate directly after a big rain, as the soil will be too wet for the aeration to be effective.</p></div>

Q: Can I DIY aeration?

• <div><p>Yes, you can DIY either core or liquid aeration for your lawn. You can use a manual core aerator or rent an automatic one. Just be sure to mark off yard obstacles like sprinkler heads before you start. Liquid aeration is easier&mdash;just hook up a garden pump sprayer, although some are able to be attached to a hose. While liquid aeration is not as laborious as core aeration, you will need to focus on an even distribution of the solution across your entire lawn for it to be effective. Of course, if you are unsure about doing both, call a pro.</p></div>

Q: What is the price range for aerating a lawn based on its size and the technique applied?

• <div><p>Costs range from $50 to $200, depending on lawn size and method used.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of lawn aeration?

• <div><p>Aeration improves soil health, enhances water and nutrient absorption, and promotes stronger grass roots.</p></div>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

They do call once in awhile if there is something they feel needs to be done, they ask if we are interested. I think one time we were having a garage sale so he didn't treat our lawn, which I appreciated, but he came back and did it later.
