Q: Can you just throw grass seed on an existing lawn?

• <div><p>Throwing grass seed on existing lawn isn&rsquo;t likely to germinate, grow roots, or become healthy grass. You need to prep the soil, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/fertilizing-101-yard-and-garden.htm">spread fertilizer</a> with your seed, and sow the seed into the soil. Water the seed every day for two weeks to ensure it germinates and grows roots. Be sure to stay off the area and wait to mow until it reaches optimal height.</p></div>

Q: Will grass turn green again after drought?

• <div><p>It depends on the condition of the grass during the drought. If your grass completely died, it won&rsquo;t turn green again after drought. However, if it just went dormant, you still have a chance to revive your lawn once drought conditions have passed. Follow proper lawn care practices after a drought to try and get your lawn back to its healthy, green self.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to aerate or scarify a lawn?

• <div><p>Both aerating and scarifying your lawn can offer serious benefits. Aerating pokes holes in the soil to better allow air, moisture, and nutrients to permeate while scarifying removes the buildup of dead plant matter at the soil&rsquo;s surface. Most lawns require both of these maintenance items to thrive.</p></div>

Q: How do I break up hard dirt in my yard?

• <div><p>Break up hard dirt in your yard with popular methods such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-core-aeration.htm">core aeration</a> or manual aeration with a spade, mini excavator, or pitchfork. You can also alter your soil to keep it from compacting in the future. Adding compost, groundcover plants, or aeration granules&mdash;preferably made of organic materials&mdash;can also soften your ground and encourage water saturation.</p></div>

They did a great job, including price and workmanship. The last company that they came out before them was twice as much, and did not do nearly as good of a job. Anything sprinkler was also very thorough about how to use my system as well.
