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>

What can I put on my grass to make it green?

• <div><p>There are plenty of products to help green up your grass. Try an iron supplement spray or fertilizer that is rich in nitrogen. You can also apply a thin layer of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-make-compost.htm">compost on top of your lawn</a> at the beginning of spring to give the grass a nutrition boost, which helps it achieve that bright color you are looking for. </p></div>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. </p></div>

Q: Can I aerate my lawn myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible with rental equipment, but professional services ensure even and thorough aeration.</p></div>

Q: Why does my St. Augustine grass look bad?

• <div><p>Your St. Augustine grass might look bad due to cold winter months, drought, pest invasion, or lawn disease. The first step is properly identifying the problem. Once you&rsquo;ve figured out what&rsquo;s making your grass look bad, you&rsquo;ll need to employ the correct treatments. These treatments may include:</p><ul><li><p>Properly mow your lawn and keep the clippings on the lawn as organic matter.</p></li><li><p>Use healthy irrigation techniques.</p></li><li><p>Use the right amount of fertilizer.</p></li><li><p>Keep up a good, regular maintenance routine.</p></li><li><p>Use fungicides.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

They removed and replace the sod and sidewalk but forgot to level areas in the lawn before laying sod. I had to add dirt under the sod in areas to level it off as they said they couldn't as the roots of tree were in the way.
