Aeration vs. Power Raking
What are the pros and cons of aeration vs. power raking my lawn before seeding and fertilizing? Thanks!

Power raking only eliminates the debris from the lawn. Aeration feeds oxygen to the roots of the grass. Do both. A good tip, and one my husband used to do, was go over the entire lawn wearing his golf shoes. It eliminated having to rent one of those push/pull rollers with the spikes in it.

Hey Nater, thought there would be more replies by now. Mowerman is usually here, must be having a cold one. Tickle is correct about the power raking removing the thatch. Check to see if you have a thatch build up by raking with a rigid rake maybe 3 strokes in the same area. Don't do it right now because you are about to get hit with a storm in your area by 7:00 PM.
