Landscapers destroyed my lawn
They cleaned up all the crap from the storm, but there are a ton of holes in the lawn and dirt all over. Did this happen to anyone else? I'm not sure what they used to clean up the debris!

Re: Landscapers destroyed my lawn
maybe they did this:
Aeration - process by which air is circulated and through a solid or liquid. Over time your lawn is compacted and a layer of thatch(dead plant particles) builds up and hinders your lawn from receiving oxygen, nutrients, and water. There are two types of aerators: spiked and core. Spiked aerators have solid metal spikes which poke holes in the ground. These are not recommended because they actually increase compaction by pushing the dirt apart.
Core aerators, on the other hand, have hollow metal spikes which take plugs of dirt out of your lawn, so there is no compacting whatsoever. Most people get their lawn core aerated and then overseeded. This way, the seeds fall in the holes and have direct contact with the soil

common for this time of year

looks like goose poo, right? That's aeration. It will all flatten out and make your lawn look great.
