Gracie when Ruth and I visited on one occasion I observed you neighbor, a lawn across and down the street from you getting it done/

Thanks Herv
What you are referring to is lawn aeration. Most lawn services, Massy, etc. do this once a year. I would not think it would be necessary in a sodded lawn 6 months old (just an opinion....not an expert). On the other hand it probably would not hurt either.
