Q: Should I reseed my lawn after aerating it?

• <div><p>Reseeding your lawn can help eliminate thin or patchy portions of grass. If you&rsquo;re paying a professional to aerate your lawn, it&rsquo;ll cost you an additional $50 to $80 on average to reseed it in the same trip. Reseeding a lawn yourself can cost between $500 to $1,000, meaning you&rsquo;ll probably save time and money hiring a professional service. </p></div>

Q: What follow-up care is recommended after professional aeration?

• <div><p>Implement overseeding and fertilization to maximize aeration benefits and strengthen your lawn.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of buffalo grass?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass does not turn green as early in the spring as some other grasses. If you have a heavily shaded yard, buffalo grass may not receive enough sunlight to thrive. It&rsquo;s not as dense as some other grass varieties, so it may not feel as comfortable on bare feet.</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>

He does a good job. He will trim shrubs but he does not do that for us. He was doing the lawn before we moved in so he was familiar with the lawn. We told him not to mow the grass when it was wet and he did not. When the grass was dry we called him and he came out. I would recommend him.
