Fall Lawn Care | How to Aerate, Dethatch & Overseed Your Lawn the Easy Way!! Sun Joe Dethatcher

As a part of my fall lawn care I core aerated, dethatched, and overseeded my lawn. This year I decided to finally try to start making improvements to the lawn. So far I have dethatched this spring, then I shampooed the yard during the summer and now in the fall I am core aerating, dethatching again, and overseeding. Everything that has been done so far has made improvements but I really believe I will get the best results after we aerate. I completed this part of the project all in one day. I rented the Ryan Aerator from a local tool rental store for a 4 hour rental. I made three passes over my lawn and one over the neighbors and had plenty of time to spare. It really was not that bad of a project that I think most DIY people are capable of completing. The only difficult part is turning the machine at the end of each pass. That being said if you take your time I think you can do it. As an experiment I decided to use the Sun Joe dethatcher I bought earlier this year to help pick up the plugs. Some people leave the plugs and allow them to decay to feed the lawn and some pick them up like I decided to do. Using the Sun Joe to pick up the plugs also acted as another light dethatching. After that was complete I overseeded the lawn with a mixture of perennial rye ane kentucky bluegrass which has worked well for me in the past. To check how things were doing the soil probe was used to check if the seeds had made it down into the core aeration holes.
