when it comes to lawn care, I'm best at aeration. Love doing it, just needed to know when to apply it for my cutsomers.

I sent soil samples to Michigan State. They told me that with my soil and my grass that once every 4 years was good. I rented a walk behind and we slit seeded after. It broke up the plugs. It worked great.

Hey - thank you for this video. Really awesome. 1) which core aerator do you show in the video? 2) when do you overseen? Should i do this after i aerate the lawn? Thank you again for suggestions

Looks great. I'm scared to do it due to irrigation system.

Kentucky we do it in late August to September

Can aerating a lawn in the spring and in the fall good or once good enough

So can you do this in the fall as well? Down in Texas it is way too dry until about October. My lawn is Bermuda but kind of thin. Hoping to thicken it up some and promote more health.

so when you saw mulch up with mower, you grind it up the cores in the mower bag and spread it back out in lawn? i have a very clayey lawn and bad erosion at the moment. would you think its ok to do this to my lawn as well or should i use some other kind of organic matter? thank you from dallas,texas!

Do you put grass seed down then ? Do u put grabgrass weed killer down?

My guy charges $50. Smaller area but he's fair. I can rent the machine for $40. So he does the work and I don't have to deal with the rental.

The John Deere pull behind aerator is 499 with 48 spikes. Isn’t more tines per foot worth the additional cost?

You don't mention where you live. Here in Wisconsin they recommend not doing it until September or early October.

Is it too late to aerate AFTER I've seeded and fertilized?

Is April to late to aerate

I got dizzy watching this ..

How huge lawn you have. You must spend more money and time on it.

But do you really need to aerate, and every year? I've seen it all too often, especially when someone owns the equipment. "I gotta use it every year, and do the entire yard" without ever really considering if it's necessary. General rule, if after a good rain you can stick a short knife blade into the ground using just your thumb, then the soil is good. When you have wet areas where the plugs are deformed because of how loose the soil is, that tells you the soil isn't compacted. The reason for aerating is to disrupt compact soil. Your whole lawn may not need it, but maybe some parts do. Try a year where you aerate sections and not others of the same types of soil. Do half the yard by the road and not the other, do some wetter spots and not others, etc. Take notes over the season and look at it over the whole season, including how the lawn looks after the aeration with all the plugs and holes all over. At a minimum, you'll know where to spend your time and where not to.

Imagine making money by talking and recording yourself aerating
