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>

Q: Why is my buffalo grass turning brown?

• <div><p>Buffalo grass starts to turn brown when encountering drought during the normal growing season. You can water the grass when you begin to notice some browning to prevent it from going dormant. Additionally, buffalo grass turns brown after the first freeze of late autumn or early winter, and this is a natural time for the grass to go dormant.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain my lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.</p></div>

Q: What should I put down before grass seed?

• <div><p>Before you put down grass seed, you should cultivate your soil or add two inches of topsoil. You should also put down fertilizer at the same time as your seed to prompt healthy growth. Be sure to water after you put down grass seed, especially for the first two weeks.</p></div>

Q: Can I handle lawn care myself?

• <div><p>DIY is possible for small properties. Professional services ensure consistent quality and proper maintenance for large areas.</p></div>
