Aerate twice, making the second pass 45 degrees to the first

Do this in the spring and again in the fall. If the property can retain any moisture, aerate after a rainfall or watering.

Immediatly after the fall aeration, you might want to consider overseeding to increase the density of the turf. This will aid in retaing moisture and shading of weed seed

Good luck
