When should I aerate my own lawn?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn in the fall or spring when there is plenty of moisture in the soil. If you plan to aerate twice annually, you can do so once in the fall and once in the spring. You don’t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don’t want to aerate directly after a big rain, as the soil will be too wet for the aeration to be effective.</p></div>

Can you core aerate too much?

• <div><p>Short answer: yes. Although aeration is beneficial for most lawns and soil types, if it’s done too frequently, you can weaken the grass’s roots so much that they’ll begin to have trouble. Generally, most lawns can be aerated as infrequently as once every one to three years, although those with more foot traffic and compaction may benefit from aeration up to twice yearly.</p></div>

Q: How often should I aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Experts recommend aerating a lawn at least once a year. If you haven&rsquo;t aerated your lawn recently, or if it has a significant amount of thatch buildup, you may need to aerate it twice annually for a few years. Keeping up with a regular aeration schedule helps ensure the long-term health of your yard. </p></div>

Q: Does professional lawn care make my home more valuable?

• <div><p>Professional lawn care can increase your home&rsquo;s value, as it beautifies your exterior and improves curb appeal. Potential buyers who pull up to a house that looks neat and clean will get a great first impression, and savvy buyers will know that a well-maintained exterior is probably indicative of proper care for other things, like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Ultimately, a lawn that&rsquo;s professionally cared for can boost your home&rsquo;s appearance and lead buyers to offer more for your house.</p></div>

Q: Is there a bad time to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Yes! Aerating your lawn during its dormancy period&mdash;usually over winter and early spring&mdash;can cause a disturbance that the grass may not easily recover from. Instead, you should aerate your lawn during its peak growth period, usually in the late summer or early fall (though with some variation based on specific grass type).</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.
