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: Why is it best to have my lawn aerated by a professional?

• <div><p>Experts use precise equipment to break up compacted soil, promoting healthy root growth and nutrient absorption.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to aerate my lawn before seeding?

• <div><p>Aerating a lawn before seeding it or adding new grass seed is a smart decision. By loosening up compact soil and allowing it to take in more air and water, your seeds will have an easier time establishing roots and growing. Aerating beforehand also means your seeds will have better contact with the soil, so more of your seeds have a chance to germinate. If you do plan to aerate your lawn before seeding, aerate about two days before you plan to start seeding.</p></div>

Q: Can you put grass seed on top of dead grass?

• <div><p>No, it's not a good idea to put grass seed directly on top of dead grass. For successful germination and growth, grass seed needs good soil contact. To prepare the area, start by removing the dead grass using a shovel or a sod cutter. Then, loosen the soil, add soil amendments if necessary, and spread the grass seed evenly. This allows the seed to come into direct contact with the soil, promoting better germination and establishing a healthier lawn.</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>

The business engages in shady billing practices. They say they mowed the lawn when the lawn did not need mowing at all. They say they did a "double cut" when the grass was barely 2 inches in height. When we complain, the staff is rude and comes across as racist. Based on our experience, we would...

As I said, I was away on a trip, and the lawn was so overgrown I hesitated to mow it with my push mower. I called Kirk Behrer, and he sent someone over to mow it. While they were there, they asked if I wanted them to spray the back treeline for weeds. They did so, and then came back a week later...
