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>

Q: When in spring should I fertilize my lawn?

• <div><p>You should fertilize your lawn after it has grown at least two inches or after your second mow (usually in March or April). Applying fertilizer too early can feed your weeds and cause them to grow stronger, too. You should water your lawn two to three days before you apply fertilizer to ensure the soil absorbs it.</p></div>

Q: Can I handle lawn care myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.</p></div>

Q: Will grass grow in aeration holes?

• <div><p>Yes, after the lawn is overseeded post-aeration, most of the seed germinates in the aeration holes. This leaves the soil undisturbed while lush and healthy grass will grow in the holes' place. The point of this is to create extra turf density in areas that really need it, such as a large patch of dead grass where a shed used to be.</p></div>

Q: How much does professional lawn care cost?

• <div><p>Routine <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm#">lawn care costs</a> between <b>$50 and $250</b> per service, with an average of around <b>$100</b>. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you&rsquo;ll pay will depend on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your lawn</p></li><li><p>Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions</p></li><li><p>Requested services </p></li><li><p>Home&rsquo;s location</p></li><li><p>How quickly your grass grows</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

They have been pretty good although I don't think they are a local company. I am not sure whether it is a franchise. I pay about $140 for four treatments. They are pretty knowledgeable and they get rid of a lot of the leaves and stuff in my yard; that's why I called them. They don't necessarily...

I have been very satisfied with them. Last year, they came out on time. I had not even asked them to plug the lawn. I had an underground fence for my dog. I was afraid that they would cut through the fence. So, when I went out and spoke with them, they did not think it would be a problem. They...
