How do you soften hard soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to soften your grass and prepare it for planting grass seed is aeration. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-aeration-key-healthy-green-lawn.htm">Aerating your lawn</a> will loosen up compacted soil and facilitate a more even balance of nutrients from root to topsoil. We recommend using core aeration methods for the most effective soil-loosening results.</p></div>

How do you rejuvenate a dead lawn?

• <div><p>First, you should figure out whether you have <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/dormant-vs-dead-grass.htm">dormant or dead grass</a>. Dead grass won’t come back, so you’ll have to reseed if you’re hoping for a lush lawn. However, grass can go dormant if it hasn’t received enough water or if temperatures are too cold. If it’s still decently warm outside, you can revive dormant grass by watering it. But if it’s mid-January in New England, for example, you’ll need to wait until the weather warms up again. If you want to keep grass green in winter, consider a grass like Kentucky bluegrass, which maintains its color year-round.</p></div>
