What does moss in a lawn indicate?

• <div><p>Moss growing in a lawn is a sign of poor soil that makes it hard for grass and plants to grow. Moss thrives in these conditions and spreads easily, so it can quickly take over your yard if it’s lacking in nutrients, too wet, or has an excessive amount of shade. Moss in the lawn isn’t always a bad thing, but it can prevent turfgrass from forming deep roots.</p></div>

Q: Can I aerate my lawn if it's very dry or wet?

• <div><p>Aeration is most effective when the soil is slightly moist but not excessively dry or waterlogged. If your lawn's soil is extremely dry, consider watering it a day or two before aeration to facilitate the process. Conversely, avoid aerating when the soil is saturated or excessively wet, as it can lead to poor aeration results and potential damage to your lawn. Finding the right moisture balance is crucial for successful lawn aeration.</p></div>

Q: What benefits does professional aeration offer over doing it myself?

• <div><p>Pros provide deep, even aeration with machinery inaccessible to the DIY homeowner.</p></div>

Q: Can I aerate a newly sodded lawn?

• <div><p>Aerating a newly sodded lawn is generally not recommended immediately after installation. It's crucial to allow the sod to establish itself first, typically over the first growing season. Aerating too soon can disrupt the fragile root systems of the newly laid sod and potentially damage the turf. It's best to aerate prior to laying new sod or wait until the sod has fully rooted and the lawn is stable before considering aeration, usually after the first year.</p></div>

Q: How often should lawn aeration be performed?

• <div><p>Generally once yearly or twice if the lawn experiences high traffic or is part of heavy clay soils.</p></div>
