How do I save money on lawn maintenance?

• <div><p>Lawns can be high maintenance, and therefore require regular spending if you’re not up for doing certain lawn care tasks yourself. But you can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-save-money-lawn-care.htm">save time and money on lawn maintenance</a> by mulching, composting, and planting species native to your area, so they keep alive with less ongoing TLC from you. </p></div>

Q: How long do I have to wait to walk on the grass?

• <div><p>If you plan on laying new grass seed, try to wait eight weeks before stepping on it. You might need to wait an entire season to drive your car across the driveway. Sod establishes itself in the ground in about two weeks. </p></div>

Q: How do you prepare your lawn for core aeration?

• <div><p>To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don&rsquo;t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-dethatch-your-lawn.htm">dethatch your lawn</a> before aerating as well.</p></div>

Q: What is better: spike or core aeration?

• <div><p>When it comes to combatting the effects of soil compaction, core aeration does a far better job for a longer period of time&mdash;because it actually removes dirt rather than just pressing holes into it. By taking dirt out from under your lawn, core aeration allows more light, air, water, and nutrients to penetrate into the soil below and help your grass&rsquo;s roots grow even stronger.</p></div>

Q: What is the best month to aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Each type of grass has its own specific needs regarding the timing of aeration, but in general, late summer to early fall is the best time to do so. For most lawns, that means sometime between September and November, though certain types of grass, like St. Augustine Grass, do better with aerations in late spring and early summer.</p></div>
