Agree with you 100%. I started Core Aerating about 10 years ago and it's done wonders to my Lawn. I also do every other year followed by Jonathan Green Black Beauty Ultra Grass Seed and the yard is dark green and plush.

I’ll get a good core aeration this fall. Then get my backyard renovated as well. It’s fried right now, which is good less work for me this fall 😂😂😂. But I have been feeding the soil micronutrients so when it’s time the soil is ready. Good vid ❤

You wouldn’t use it but once maybe twice a year. IMO better just to rent.

@81carters very true but you could always aerate a few neighbors yard too
@m4marceldev6 ай бұрын
@@81carters I would indeed do my own lawn twice a year. However, I know for a fact that I could clean up rather nicely with some of the neighbors on my street. It's like a chain reaction. One person has the service done. The next thing we know 6 or 7 homes also have their lawns serviced as well.

How do you deal with core aerating/overseeding and fall application of pre-emergent? Every other year plan, switching between each?
@LawnAmateur6 ай бұрын
One year I'll aerate and overseed late summer and then late fall winterize the lawn by fertilizing and pre emergent. Next year I'll dethatch and overseed and winterize the lawn with fertilizer and pre emergent
@markhousman84476 ай бұрын
How long between overseeding and pre emergent do you typically wait? As always, thank you for your channel!
@LawnAmateur6 ай бұрын
@markhousman8447 atleast 3 mows on the new seed to give them time to establish themselves

@@LawnAmateur Yeah I ended up buying the Mantis and will be tilling the back. I’ll probably mix topsoil in, just didn’t know if you did the same. Thanks D!!

I aerated once and didn't gather the cores like you said in the video. I dressed it with loam on top and was left with a very bumpy lawn. I think the cores never broke down and created mounds? Maybe the ground wasn't dry enough when I aerated? Did you get a bumpy lawn after aerating?
@michaelnguyen64376 ай бұрын
I was thinking of trying it again this fall but also thinking about renting a roller and roll out those cores so make sure they're flat. I'm so sad my lawn is bumpy. Takes the enjoyment out of mowing.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to top dress after core aerating as well, so you're always introducing new soil into the holes and lawn. But it can be spendy and money is tight right now.

That's definitely not a bad idea, but it can get very expensive in today's market
