What should I do if I cut my grass too short?

• <div><p>If your grass is stressed from being over-trimmed, try watering it heavily and then allowing it to recover for at least two weeks before mowing again. If you notice <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-brown-patches-my-grass.htm">brown patches</a> where the grass has died off because it’s too short, you should remove the dead grass and overseed the area. Leaving dead patches can invite weeds and other problems, so if you want a totally green lawn, getting rid of dead patches should include removing the dead sections before reseeding the area.</p></div>

Is dethatching more important than aerating?

• <div><p>No. Both processes are important for a healthy yard and work toward a similar goal, although dethatching serves a slightly different purpose. Making sure the thatch doesn’t grow too thick prevents other lawn problems, such as attracting pests if the plant decay layer gets too big. Aeration puts less strain on your lawn than dethatching, but both are of equal importance.</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: Can I dethatch and aerate my lawn at the same time?

• <div><p>While dethatching first often makes the aeration process faster and easier, both actions can be done on the same day. Aeration can also loosen up the thatch, even if you have a harder time aerating the soil because the thatch got too thick. Because both dethatching and aeration have the common goal of making it easier for the soil to get water and nutrients, it&rsquo;s safe and possible to do both at the same time.</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>

It was fine. I had a couple of hiccups but got them resolved easily. They took care of my one issue and there was no question. It’s a little odd because it's my next door neighbor that owns the company, Xtreme Lawn Care.

I like that they don't use harsh chemicals because I am allergic to some of the chemicals that lawn care companies use. They also give me a proper instruction about what to do after they have completed their service. Also, I pay a yearly price because I get a discount on their services.
