Q: When should you not aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>There are a few time periods or conditions during which you should avoid aerating your lawn. For example, do not aerate when the ground is frozen or waterlogged, as it can damage the soil structure and grass roots. Aerating during the peak of summer heat or drought is also not recommended since it can stress your grass further. It's best to wait for cooler, more favorable conditions. Finally, newly seeded lawns should not be aerated until the grass is well-established, usually at least one year after seeding.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to aerate or dethatch your lawn?

• <div><p>Lawn aeration and dethatching are meant to solve the same problem, loosening up compacted soil so that the root systems can grow and receive more water, oxygen, and nutrients. Aeration is the gentler option and often the preferable one. Dethatching completely tears out the thatch layer of the lawn and can inadvertently yank out healthy grass if done incorrectly. Aeration loosens the soil and only removes small cores of it.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after lawn seeding?

• <div><p>Post-seeding care involves regular watering, mowing when appropriate, and occasional re-seeding to cover sparse areas.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to power rake or aerate?

• <div><p>Raking only moves soil, leaves, and debris around on the surface. Aerating your lawn addresses compacted soil. Core aeration loosens up the soil, which makes it healthier and creates more verdant grass from the richer nutrients and stronger root systems that develop. Raking only provides short-term benefits, while aeration creates higher-quality soil and grass growth in the long term. Rake or dethatch before aerating for a bigger benefit to your lawn.</p></div>

Q: How much does lawn aeration cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-lawn-aeration-cost.htm">Lawn aeration costs</a> between <b>$75 and $350</b> on average, depending on the size of the lawn, aeration type, slope of the lawn, soil type, lawn prep, and location.
