The frequency of watering depends on the type of grass and local climate. Generally, it's best to water your lawn deeply once or twice a week rather than lightly every day. This encourages deep root growth and makes your lawn more drought-resistant. Early morning is the best time to water to reduce evaporation and fungal growth.

Overseeding your lawn helps to fill in bare spots, improve the density of the grass, and enhance its overall appearance. It also introduces new grass varieties that may be more resistant to diseases, pests, and environmental stresses. The best time to overseed is in the spring or autumn when the soil is warm, and there is adequate moisture.

Aeration helps to alleviate soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots more effectively. This promotes healthier and stronger root growth, leading to a more resilient and lush lawn. It's typically done once a year, either in the spring or fall, depending on your grass type.
Aerate your lawn once a year, either in the spring or autumn, depending on your grass type. Aeration helps to alleviate soil compaction, improve water and nutrient absorption, and promote healthy root growth. For heavily used lawns or those with clay soil, consider aerating twice a year.

The best time to scarify your lawn is during the growing season, either in the spring or autumn. This allows the grass to recover quickly and fill in any bare patches. Avoid scarifying during periods of drought or extreme heat as this can stress the lawn.
