How do you soften hard soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to soften your grass and prepare it for planting grass seed is aeration. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-aeration-key-healthy-green-lawn.htm">Aerating your lawn</a> will loosen up compacted soil and facilitate a more even balance of nutrients from root to topsoil. We recommend using core aeration methods for the most effective soil-loosening results.</p></div>

Q: How much does yard work cost?

• <div><p>The cost of yard work depends on the type of work you need done. The average cost of lawn care is $300, but you could pay as little as $100 or up to $500.</p></div>

Q: How do I know when to apply pre-emergent herbicide?

• <div><p>The best time to fight crabgrass with pre-emergent herbicide is when forsythias tend to bloom. In the mid-Atlantic region, this is usually between April and May. Even if you're late to apply the herbicide, it&rsquo;s effective as long as the crabgrass plant has fewer than five leaves.</p></div>

Q: Can I put down grass seed and fertilizer at the same time?

• <div><p>Provided you're using an appropriate starter fertilizer for grass seed, you can put down seeds and fertilizer at the same time. However, putting them down separately, one after the other, on the same day will help to avoid over- or under-applying the lawn food. Avoid using a fertilizer with weed control elements, as these will likely keep the grass seeds from starting. </p></div>

Q: How do you redo a bad lawn?

• <div><p>The first step in re-doing a bad lawn is correctly diagnosing the problem. That&rsquo;s why we recommend calling a licensed and trustworthy lawn care company that can help turn your damaged lawn around. Once the problem is diagnosed and fixed, you&rsquo;ll want to keep up with lawn maintenance by watering, mowing, and feeding your lawn the proper nutrients.</p></div>

Contractor did install the sewage and it does seem to work. Never did return to finish the lawn. I contacted them monthly for about one year, and though they did promise, they never did return to complete the job. I would not recommend that anyone use this contractor.
