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: When should I aerate my own lawn?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;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&rsquo;t want to aerate when your grass is dormant, and you also don&rsquo;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: Should I pick up plugs after aerating?

• <div><p>Don't pick up or dispose of aeration plugs. They will break down by themselves in one or two weeks. Rainfall will speed this up, as will watering the lawn. Mowing helps, but don't mow the grass too soon post-aeration. It's unusual that the plugs would remain after three or four weeks, but mowing and raking will break them down by that point.</p></div>

Q: How long does aeration last?

• <div><p>It depends on the current health of your lawn. Liquid aeration takes longer to work, but the results are longer lasting. Since you can apply the liquid solution several times during the course of the growing season, the results are cumulative. Core aeration, on the other hand, will offer quicker benefits but they will diminish sooner, right along with the soil plugs left behind.</p></div>

Q: How do you redo a bad lawn?

• <div><p>The first step in re-doing a bad lawn is correctly diagnosing the problem. That&rsquo;s why we recommend calling a licensed and trustworthy lawn care company that can help turn your damaged lawn around. Once the problem is diagnosed and fixed, you&rsquo;ll want to keep up with lawn maintenance by watering, mowing, and feeding your lawn the proper nutrients.</p></div>

Q: What should I put on my lawn in the spring?

• <div><p>You should put pre-emergent herbicide and fertilizer on your lawn in the spring. Pre-emergent herbicide keeps weeds from taking root. Fertilizer helps your grass to grow lush and dense and blocks future weeds from growing. You can also add amendments, such as sulfur and lime, to enhance your soil quality. </p></div>

J&A did an awesome job cleaning up my yard, which was covered with several years worth of leaves in the back. I highly recommend them for your lawn care needs.
