Q: Will spiking do the same thing?
A: No. While spiking will put holes in the turf, it actually compacts the soil rather than removing the core. While there are often short-term benefits, in the long term this is counterproductive.

Q: When should I aerate?
A: In the Bay Area due to our moderate climate you can aerate year round. Any time of year will benefit your lawn substantially, although the best time would be fall and spring time. Fall being optimal because it strengthens your grass prior to colder temperatures in the winter. Spring being optimal because it rejuvenates your lawn prior to the growth season.

Q: When will I see positive
results in my lawn?
A: You will see your lawn benifit within 1-4 weeks after aerating lasting for about 6 months. Depending on the fertilizer we use for your lawn type, certain ingredients in the fertilizer can take affect within anywhere from 2-21 days. The nitrogen and iron will for instance will take effect quickly revealing a vibrant green lawn.

Q: How wet should my lawn be for the best aeration results?
A: Dry ground reduces the depth of cores and aeration effectiveness. You should water your lawn for about 20 mins in the morning the day of aeration. This will allow the cores to go deeper and target the root zone.

Q: Should I water after aeration?
A: Yes. Water helps breakdown the cores left in the yard and is particularly effective on the newly exposed root system. Water will also help the fertilizer break down and absorb in the root zone.
