My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Aeratate or not?

18 years ago

I moved in last February and the lawn looks good right now. I've heard that if you feed the lawn organically you don't need to aerate. Anyway I got my hands on some cow manure compost and milorganite. So I plan on overseeding and than topdressing with the compost and milorganite. Will this plan work or not?
