"Randy and Luke were excellent! They were both really trustworthy, helpful, and considerate, and did the engineering work for the project carefully. Randy was very responsive any time I texted or emailed him, often replying on the same day (even on weekends!), and patiently and thoroughly answered all our many questions. They started the job when promised, finished it promptly even though we told them we were in no rush, and made helpful suggestions that resulted in a better project outcome. They even came back to do a little touch-up work we wanted even though we’d already paid them in full (some contractors would not have come back). We’re very happy with their work, and will definitely hire them again if we need more landscaping done."

"I hired Nicholas to maintain the grounds at our HOA. Nicholas started out strong and then lost steam throughout the year. I constantly had to point out trimming, leaf removal and mowing that had to be done. His workers were doing the bare minimum and spent more time on their phones than working. I was very disappointed in this company and got many complaints from our community."

"Taylor did an incredible job with cleaning up our lawn after the fall season. Our lawn looks 20x better and we’re really happy with his services. Taylor was efficient and had great communication. He also had some great suggestions for how we can maintain and upkeep our lawn throughout the year. We had been looking for good quality lawn care for some time and I’m glad we finally found the right person. Highly recommend! "

"I hired Hernandez Landscaping & Tree Service to remove 5 of the largest pines trees I’ve ever seen from my yard. They also cut down a huge messy oak tree and a 2 large sweet gum trees. They finished the job in just two days (Friday & Saturday) and were very efficient. They returned a 3rd day just to make sure all of the debris was removed and the yard was safe for mowing. I will hire these 5 guys again! Their equipment did no damage to my yard or my septic tank. I want them to come grind the stumps next week! They will beat anyone’s quote to get your job done."

"Rick was on time for every appointment and did an excellent job. His 40+ years of experience in the Waynesville/Asheville area played a huge role in every plant and landscaping material choice he recommended (some I would have never thought of), and the final product was more than I could have ever imagined. He took into account some of the recommendations that we had, crafted them into a much better design, and talked us out of a few that would not have worked. I recommend Advanced Landscaping for all of your landscape needs. His company will always have follow-on work with us, as we have many more projects planned. Excellent to work with, personable, totally professional, an industry expert, and more. A++"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Arden, NC

Aeration is the best way to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant. Annual aeration makes your lawn more breathable and helps nutrients reach the roots, improving water absorption and reducing puddles where pests might breed. However, timing matters. It's best to avoid aerating during droughts, extreme heat, or if your lawn is battling weeds. A local pro can help you determine the ideal time for your yard.

Most lawns benefit from annual aeration to keep them healthy and thriving. If your lawn has a lot of thatch buildup—more than half an inch—you might need to aerate twice a year for a couple of years to get it under control. But if your soil isn't compacted and there's minimal thatch, you might be able to skip a year.

When you hire a professional lawn care company, a standard 10,000-square-foot lawn takes about 30 minutes to aerate. Uneven, sloped, or especially large lawns can take significantly more time. So, depending on your lawn's size and condition, the process can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours.

The best time to aerate your lawn is during the spring or fall when your grass is actively growing and the soil has enough moisture. Aerating once in the spring and once in the fall yields the best results. Avoid aerating when your lawn is dormant or right after heavy rain when the soil is too wet—that can make aeration less effective.

Even if your lawn looks healthy, aeration can still be beneficial. If you have good growth, proper drainage, and little thatch, you might not need to aerate right away. Regular aeration helps water and nutrients reach the roots, keeping your lawn strong over time. Keep an eye on your lawn's condition to decide when it might need aeration.
