Q: Is lawn aeration worth the money?

• <div><p>Strange as it may seem, poking holes in your lawn can do a great deal to help the grass grow back stronger, thicker, and happier. By allowing light, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, the grass can root down deeper and get more of what it needs to thrive. All of which is to say, if you care about the appearance of your lawn, yes, lawn aeration is usually worth the money&mdash;especially since it&rsquo;s not that expensive.</p></div>

Q: When is the best time to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>The best time to aerate a lawn is when there's plenty of moisture in the soil, which is the <b>fall or spring seasons</b>. However, keep in mind that lawn aeration isn't very effective when there has been a long period of heavy rain, as the excess water can potentially damage the lawn in the aeration process. Wait until your lawn is predominantly dry to start the aeration process to ensure best results.</p></div>

Q: Can I just throw seed on my lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, you can throw seed on a lawn and hope it grows, but taking a few steps beforehand, such as dethatching, aerating, or raking, will give the seed a better chance of germinating. While it sounds like it&rsquo;ll save time, throwing seed on the lawn without doing anything will require much more seed than any other method.</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 are the signs I need to aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Try the tool test first. A screwdriver or a similarly long, thin tool will work best, as spades and shovels are too big. If something still seems off despite the screwdriver smoothly going into the soil, look for other signs that you need aeration, like thinning grass, discolored areas, and puddles forming on your lawn after light rain. This indicates poor drainage because of too many areas being compacted.</p></div>

(see above) ..also forgot to add that the climber asked if I knew how to roll a joint and noticed at the end of the job when the trucks were long gone that oil from the Bobcat used to load the tree trunks, leaked across the lawn. Tim and company are 180 degrees from professional.
