We let the fire ants do the aeration for us. They do a great job. We water with a hose because a pipe in the sprinkler system broke. Turns out we use a lot less water with the hose anyway, so that's awesome. We have St. Augustine, mixed with assorted weeds. It looks uniformly green when we mow it (ourselves) so we really don't care what those weeds are. Our lawn stays green for longer than the neighbor's, and doesn't go completely brown in the winter; just in a few patches. We have one stubborn patch around 3 feet long by a foot wide that refuses to grow but it's at the edge of the driveway near the road so we don't really care about it.
