Is it worth aerating a lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s worth aerating a lawn. Even the most diligent mowing, watering, and fertilizing schedule is not enough if the roots are not able to benefit from the care and nutrients you’re giving them.

Q: Is it worth aerating a lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s worth aerating a lawn. Even the most diligent mowing, watering, and fertilizing schedule is not enough if the roots are not able to benefit from the care and nutrients you&rsquo;re giving them. Even a lawn that&rsquo;s already healthy can benefit from aeration because the more air that circulates around the roots, the stronger and healthier it will grow. </p></div>

Q: How many passes should I make with a plug aerator?

• <div><p>If your lawn hasn't been aerated in over a year, or the soil is incredibly compacted, do two passes with the aerator. The first pass should follow your mowing pattern and the second one should form a perpendicular angle relative to the first. Stick to 20 to 40 holes per square foot as a rule of thumb.</p></div>

Q: Can I dethatch and aerate my lawn at the same time?

• <div><p>While dethatching first often makes the aeration process faster and easier, both actions can be done on the same day. Aeration can also loosen up the thatch, even if you have a harder time aerating the soil because the thatch got too thick. Because both dethatching and aeration have the common goal of making it easier for the soil to get water and nutrients, it&rsquo;s safe and possible to do both at the same time.</p></div>

Very nice people and hard working. Would have had them cutting the lawn for the season but they did not have a larger mower. I have a very big yard.

They provided a fair quote but procrastinated stating that the weather had been too damp to start. Finally we called them and stated that we were the only lawn in the neighborhood to be cut, and they stated that they would come the following day to get it done. No call no show. Now we have...
