We use Dean’s for fertilizing but would prefer your personal feedback. Is it too late in season to have these services done?
Not familiar with Florida grasses, but aeration is usually used on heavy or well trodden grass.
With Florida's sandy soil would not think it would be needed.
De-thatching, followed with a good loam type top dressing could definitely be beneficial.
