I aerated and top dressed my 100 year old lawn this summer.
As return to the red stated, I had parts that were so hard the water would just run off and they stayed brown all summer.
This year I've never watered less and my entire lawn is really green, by far the best its looked with the least work.
I top dressed as well because I had some extra top soil and that was the easiest way to get rid of it. This was just before all our hot weather and I swear I watered 3 times between the beginning of August and now and my lawn is totally green.
The good part of an old lawn is that it's too thick to let dandelions grow. I've never had to pick a single one out of the lawn. All I do is mow once a week and water here and there.
