What steps do I take to ready my lawn for reseeding?

Reseeding

To reseed an existing lawn, or fill in bare patches, you need to check your soil first.

If the soil is hard and compacted, use a core aerator to loosen it up. (An aerator pulls up plugs of soil from the ground, which can be crumbled later with a rake or the plugs can be left to decompose.)

If the soil is fairly loose, using a rake to roughen the surface, will create a better medium for the seed.
