Should I water the lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Yes, you should water the lawn after aerating. Now that you’ve loosened up the soil to better receive nutrients, it’s time to hydrate and fertilize your lawn. You’ll want to keep it evenly moist to promote healthy growth. Don’t drown your grass—too much of a good thing can reverse all the work you’ve done with aeration in the first place. But especially if you’ve overseeded and/or fertilized after aeration, you’ll want to ensure a moist soil layer to absorb those nutrients and fuel for new growth.</p></div>

Q: How do pros achieve effective aeration during clean-ups?

• <div><p>Using specialized equipment, they aerate thoroughly, alleviating compaction and enhancing root health.</p></div>

Q: Can you hydroseed over old grass?

• <div><p>Hydroseeding over an existing lawn is possible, but certain adjustments are necessary since the process is for bare soil. Hydroseed mix is usually very thick, which helps protect the seeds during germination. If you have existing grass on your site and still want to hydroseed, it's better to use a finer <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/choosing-right-mulch-your-garden.htm">mulch mixture</a> when spraying. A finer mulch mix means the seeds can root into existing soil without suffocating the existing grass.</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>

Q: What fall lawn prep should I do for spring?

• <div><p>In the fall, you should aerate the soil, overseed the bare spots, kill weeds, mow the lawn low, and rake your leaves. By boosting your lawn&rsquo;s health in the fall, your grass will be stronger throughout the winter and come back healthier in the spring. You should also trim your perennials so that they withstand the winter and are ready for new growth in the spring. </p></div>
