Next I was going to aerate, fertilize, compost and seed. Parts of the lawn are decent, some have sparse grass (where there was lots of needles) and a couple parts have no grass. I think there were a couple pavers and a tree removed.
Do I get the whole thing aerated? I am worried about damaging the existing grass in the sparse areas. But at the same time the ground in the sparse and dead areas is quite hard.

If this area is in the back yard try a couple of blueberries they love acidic soil, we even use pine needles as mulch for them.
