My friend gave me an aerator his uncle made from a 1940's water heater with welded on thick 6-inch spikes, you can add water to it but not necessary ,it's heavy' weights about 700 lbs. I use to use it alot in spring, putting down pure 34-0-0 nitrogen fertilizer, then going 6-12-12 latter spring before a rain, and you could really see that grass come alive lush and green. I have over an acre.
Sounds like you have it all under control. Our yard is an acre but we cheat and have a service apply all the treatments (except compost). So we also get the thick, lush rush in the spring. Can be a lot of work keeping it mowed in the spring but it keeps a nice looking lawn. I’m guessing that you appreciate it too.
We have tall fescue here in the Midwest area and we normally cut it at 3 1/2”. We actually cut it at the same height for the application but did it right before proceeding. A lot depends on what type of grass you have and what height you normally cut it at to keep it healthy. I wouldn’t recommend cutting it more than 1/4” lower than you normally cut it so that you don’t harm the grass.
I salute you folks. You do great work & take pride in a home/property that is well taken care of. I wish you the best. Hold your heads high.

Everything from Landzie has ended up being top notch and saving me time and money. Great post!
Thanks! Yeah, we were pleased with how much easier it made the job and the quality of the spreader.
Beautiful lawn and thanks for the tips
