Lowe’s home improvement expert, Mike Kraft, explains the best ways to maintain the health of your lawn. In Part 1 of this lawn care series, learn how you can evaluate your lawn for problem areas. If there are bare areas, prepare for spot seeding. Or, if you want to protect and strengthen your lawn, try overseeding. Make sure that you rake the top soil before you add the grass seed. For overseeding, make sure that you dethatch dead grass and mow your lawn first. Next, aerate your lawn with a lawn aerator to allow the grass seeds to penetrate the soil.
