What if I water my grass too much in winter?

• <div><p>If you accidentally watered your grass too much during the winter months, try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-lawn-aeration.htm">aerating your lawn</a> to encourage absorption of the water into the soil and improve drainage. Dethatching your lawn can also help the solid recover from overwatering and encourage healthy root and stalk health in your grass.</p></div>

Will aeration level your lawn?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/aeration-to-level-lawn.htm">Aeration can level your lawn</a> if the issue is minor soil compaction, so it can help smooth things out if your yard is bumpy from foot traffic or vehicle traffic. However, it won’t slope your yard. If you have small areas where water seems to pool after precipitation, aeration could help, but larger issues with improperly sloped lawns and problems leading to foundation leaks or structural damage will require more comprehensive solutions.</p></div>

Q: Can I just throw grass seed down on existing lawn?

• <div><p>You can try that, but it isn't likely to yield results. It's like watering potted plants without putting the seeds in. Most of the tossed grass seeds sit on top of the soil or existing grass blades and never germinate. The seeds need to make it into the soil, just like growing a potted plant. The best way to accomplish this is to aerate your lawn first, then overseed.</p></div>

Q: How do I bring my yard back to life?

• <div><p>If your lawn and general landscape are struggling, consider calling a local landscape specialist to suggest lawn amendments, local plants, and hardscape changes to boost the long-term health of your outdoor space. While you may be able to take on small projects yourself&mdash;such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/reseeding-and-repairing-lawn.htm">reseeding your lawn</a> or testing the soil&mdash;a professional can help you build a plan to bring a struggling yard back to life quickly.</p></div>

Q: What should I do if my seeds aren’t sprouting?

• <div><p>If it&rsquo;s been a few weeks and you haven&rsquo;t seen anything pop up, double-check your seed packet and make sure you didn&rsquo;t miss any steps. Did they need cold stratification (putting seeds in the freezer and then transferring to water before planting)? Do they have an exceptionally long germination period? </p><p> If you&rsquo;ve followed all of the directions closely, you may just have had a bad batch of seeds. (Sadly, it happens.)</p></div>
