Q: How often should you core aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Experts typically recommend aerating your lawn about once per year, but your aeration frequency will depend on your soil type, lawn condition, and other factors. For instance, you should aerate annually if you have clay-heavy soil or frequent foot traffic in your backyard. However, if your soil is loose or sandy and you don't use your yard often, you can probably aerate every other year.</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: Is it possible to overseed a lawn without aerating?

• <div><p>Yes, you can overseed your lawn without aerating it, but results may vary. If you have the time, dethatching or aerating your lawn before overseeding will yield the best results. Overseeding your lawn without aerating will work, but less seed will take root. For the best possible results, aerate your lawn before overseeding it.</p></div>

Q: Should I mow before or after aeration?

• <div><p>Mow before aeration. After you've aerated the lawn, you can fertilize, water, and overseed. But wait at least two weeks after aeration before you mow.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs that my lawn needs aeration?

• <div><p>Several signs indicate that your lawn may require aeration. If you notice water pooling or runoff after rainfall, it suggests poor water infiltration, and aeration could help. Compacted soil may cause grass to thin out, turn yellow, or struggle to grow. Additionally, the presence of a thatch layer, which is a buildup of dead grass and debris, can indicate aeration is needed to alleviate thatch and promote healthier grass growth. Monitoring these signs can help you determine when your lawn would benefit from aeration.</p></div>
