Q: Can you speed up grass seed germination?

• <div><p>Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:</p><ul><li><p>Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.</p></li><li><p>Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.</p></li><li><p>Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.</p></li><li><p>Choose the right grass seed for your area&rsquo;s climate and soil conditions.</p></li><li><p>Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should I pick up plugs after aerating?

• <div><p>Don't pick up or dispose of aeration plugs. They will break down by themselves in one or two weeks. Rainfall will speed this up, as will watering the lawn. Mowing helps, but don't mow the grass too soon post-aeration. It's unusual that the plugs would remain after three or four weeks, but mowing and raking will break them down by that point.</p></div>

Q: Should I mow before or after aeration?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>When you don&rsquo;t aerate your lawn, the soil will become more compact over time. This limits how much water can soak in to reach the roots of your grass, and it keeps oxygen and carbon dioxide from the plant roots. This can limit grass growth, which may sound great for limiting mowing, but it also leads to a lawn full of grass that looks dull and sparse. Eventually, compacted soil can weaken grass, while also making it more vulnerable to pests, diseases, and erosion and even causing it to die off.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>The length of time it takes to aerate a lawn mostly depends on the yard's size. Generally, a lawn care professional can aerate a lawn that is 10,000 square feet in size in about <b>30 to 45 minutes</b>. This process may take additional time if you have a heavily sloped or uneven yard, and it may cost extra for the lawn care pro&rsquo;s labor and time.</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.
