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 much does professional lawn care cost?

• <div><p>Routine <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-landscaping-cost.htm#">lawn care costs</a> between <b>$50 and $250</b> per service, with an average of around <b>$100</b>. Most homeowners need one service per week through the spring and summer, and many switch to snow removal services in the winter. The price you&rsquo;ll pay will depend on a few different factors:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your lawn</p></li><li><p>Complexity of your lawn layout and obstructions</p></li><li><p>Requested services </p></li><li><p>Home&rsquo;s location</p></li><li><p>How quickly your grass grows</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What is the cheapest way to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>A manual spike aerator or aerator shoe is a very affordable way to aerate a lawn. Such devices can often be purchased for between $30 and $50. Liquid aerator is another affordable option, but this enzymatic spray may not work as well as actual, physical aeration for helping ease compacted soil and may take several applications.</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 better to power rake or aerate?

• <div><p>Raking only moves soil, leaves, and debris around on the surface. Aerating your lawn addresses compacted soil. Core aeration loosens up the soil, which makes it healthier and creates more verdant grass from the richer nutrients and stronger root systems that develop. Raking only provides short-term benefits, while aeration creates higher-quality soil and grass growth in the long term. Rake or dethatch before aerating for a bigger benefit to your lawn.</p></div>
