  • I need to aerate, dethatch, fertilize, and over seed my lawn. My neighbor said I should also add pellitized lime. My question is in what order should I do the above? I live in Connecticut. Thanks!

    The proper order is dethatch, aerate, fertilize, and overseed. You especially want to be sure and aerate before you fertilize so that the fertilizer can penetrate into the roots. If you add lime it should be at the time of fertilization. Check your soil ph before adding that, or check with a local lawn care company as they'll have a better sense of what soils in your area need. Lime will raise soil ph.
