If I can piggyback on this thread -- we just purchased a new home and the backyard lawn appears to be growing quite well (it has grown a surprising amount in the past 3 weeks!). It's an older property so it may very well be 100 years old as well (not sure when it was last or ever replaced).
The problem is that it's quite bumpy and hard in some spots -- I was thinking aeration might do the trick to soften it up and/or even it out (so our kid can play out there). Should I try to DIY or just let a landscaping company (or someone like Weedman) come in and diagnose/fix the problem. Also, should I bother getting it done in the fall, or just wait until the spring?
