To prepare your lawn for aeration and overseeding, test and amend the soil; clear, mow, and dethatch the lawn; and identify the most compacted areas, to name a few.

Whether you can dethatch and aerate at the same time depends on the health and condition of your lawn, your grass type, and the time of year.

Liquid aeration uses a special liquid to relieve compaction, help with nutrient absorption and moisture retention, encourage microbial activity, and break up thatch.

A freedom lawn saves time, money, and water, reduces pollution, protects pollinators, and creates a healthier space for your family and pets.

Some side effects of skipping leaf cleanup include lawn health issues, pests, weeds, drainage problems, fire hazards, and reduced curb appeal.

Freedom lawns prioritize biodiversity, minimal maintenance, chemical-free environments, less water use, and resilient landscapes.

The decision to rake or mulch leaves depends on the size of your lawn, the health of your soil, how much time you have, and the amount of leaves you have, among others.

To correctly compost weeds, consider hot composting, cool composting, Bokashi composting, bagging, or drying the weeds in the sun.

Compacted soil often occurs because of foot or traffic, low organic matter, intense rainfall, overwatering, and putting weight on the soil.

To know whether you can compost weeds, think about the kind of weeds you’re composting, and whether they have seeds, pests, or diseases.
