Since I have acres I have been mowing with a zero turn, does the weight of the mower compact the soil? How often should I aerate? Didn’t catch the army worm attack which left a portion of my lawn looking dead. Hopefully my lawn service got it under control, now waiting for it to come back.🙏🏻
Our lawn maintenance man cut the zoysia dramatically lower to almost bald last early September in St Louis when it was growing really nicely. It never recovered for the rest of the season and this year it looked tired and thin. I did have our 1100 sq ft lawn finally core aerated and I dethatched, and have put on a new blade on our Ryobi electric mower. I let go the worker because he kept wanting to cut it really short, but i thought it was too stressed for that, and it wasn't growing at all really. After letting it grow out to maybe 3.5" and with more regular watering, it's finally looking better in many places but it's still not fully recovered yet. Do you think his cutting it too short and too quickly (maybe he cut 50-60% of the grass that time last September) was the main stressor? Or was it lack of recent core aeration, too little watering or a dull blade? Thank you.
I want to try mowing my lawn myself and I am not sure which mower to purchase. I have a 500 sq ft St Augustine lawn. I am looking for a small, simple, light and easy to use mower. What would you recommend?

With an area that small, get a small Honda mower. You can't go wrong.
