I aerate every few weeks, but only during the growing season as to not stress the grass. Core aeration is more beneficial than spike aeration, so I recommend that. Right now, broadleaves and possibly Poa Annua should be your main problems. A good broadleaf selective herbicide (Weed Free Zone, Trimec, etc.) should help. Just be cautious if using these products on lawn grasses sensitive to 2,4-D

find out what kind of grass you have
do not do weed n feed, the 2 steps should be done separately, now is the time to do the "weed" portion as stated above, wait till green up is well underway then apply fertilizer, if you have centipede grass, be aware more lawns have been harmed by fertilizer than helped, go easy with it and only apply a variety specific one. stay away from all of the turf builder and multiple applications
also make sure you are cutting at the correct height, most people cut too short
