It's a St. Augustine lawn.
I'm curious to hear some opinions from more knowledgable folks. Is this a service that one would expect to need to be done from time to time?
Most of the lots south of 466 have a sandy soil, for which aeration really isn't needed, unless you have a tremendous thatch build up. Cutting your grass very low initially in the spring can help remove excess thatch.
