Q: Is lawn renovation worth it?

• <div><p>Yes&mdash;lawn renovation can turn your lawn from damaged to healthy in one month or less. You should also consider lawn renovation an investment in your home&rsquo;s future. Not only will a lawn renovation ensure that you have a beautiful, healthy, and thriving lawn, but when it comes time to sell your home, the curb appeal will increase your home&rsquo;s value.</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>

Q: What is the screwdriver test for a lawn?

• <div><p>The screwdriver test involves trying to push a screwdriver into your lawn. If it goes in easily, you&rsquo;re likely overwatering and should cut back. If there&rsquo;s moderate resistance, you have a good watering schedule and soil composition. If there&rsquo;s a lot of resistance or you can&rsquo;t get the screwdriver into the soil, you may need to aerate your lawn to reduce compaction and increase your watering schedule.</p></div>

Q: What is the best way to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>The best way to aerate your lawn depends on what kind of grass and soil you have and your budget and patience level. There are many options to choose from, including spike aerators, core aerators, aerator shoes, and more, and many types can be found in either manual or motorized versions.</p></div>
