Now is the best time to reseed your lawn. There is a way to do this successfully at a reasonable cost and if applied and maintained properly will give you terrific results.

For best results, you should dethatch and aeriate your lawn.  Dethatching removes the thick layer of dead grass that prevents moisture from entering the soil.
