When should I aerate my own lawn?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to aerate your lawn in the fall or spring when there is plenty of moisture in the soil. If you plan to aerate twice annually, you can do so once in the fall and once in the spring. You don’t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don’t want to aerate directly after a big rain, as the soil will be too wet for the aeration to be effective.</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: Is it worth it to aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>Almost all lawns can benefit from aeration, but not all lawns need aeration services. If your lawn has puddles of standing water, uneven grass growth, thinning grass, dries out quickly, or has a good amount of thatch, aeration is worthwhile. On the other hand, if your lawn is healthy and your soil isn&rsquo;t too compact, you may be able to skip a year of aeration. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after lawn seeding?

• <div><p>Post-seeding care involves regular watering, mowing when appropriate, and occasional re-seeding to cover sparse areas.</p></div>

Q: Can I combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments?

• <div><p>Yes, you can typically combine liquid aeration with other lawn treatments. However, follow the specific product's instructions and consider the compatibility of treatments. In most cases, liquid aeration can complement fertilization, overseeding, or weed control programs. Combining treatments strategically can address multiple aspects of your lawn's health and appearance simultaneously. Always read and adhere to the guidelines provided by the product manufacturers to ensure safe and effective application.</p></div>

The business engages in shady billing practices. They say they mowed the lawn when the lawn did not need mowing at all. They say they did a "double cut" when the grass was barely 2 inches in height. When we complain, the staff is rude and comes across as racist. Based on our experience, we would...

As I said, I was away on a trip, and the lawn was so overgrown I hesitated to mow it with my push mower. I called Kirk Behrer, and he sent someone over to mow it. While they were there, they asked if I wanted them to spray the back treeline for weeds. They did so, and then came back a week later...
