If your soil has a compaction problem, now is the time to aerate the area. Generally, it’s better to leave the soil plugs left by core aeration in place to return their nutrients to the soil. But in the case of an uneven lawn, aeration also gives you the opportunity to fill any remaining low-lying areas with the plugs.
