"Do not lose your money. It is the worst contractor ever. I don’t know how this person can call himself a licensed contractor. We made a contract, 10% to book my yard work. On the first day, I had to pay 50% and on the last day the remaining 30%, I did pay it as we agreed. The day when he was supposed to start working, he didn’t, he showed up until the next day, he texted me with an excuse. The day he started, he asked me to pay him 50%, I did it, but after that, he didn’t show up until I called and texted him several times, 3 weeks later when he sent two workers, they weren’t doing the right thing and when I told them that, they stop working and leave. Again I had to call and send him several messages to come back and continue with the work. He asked me to pay in full before he finished the job, I said no you have to finish first. It was the same story until he finally finished the work, more than 3 months later, he said he would complete the work in 3 weeks, instead, it took him more than 3 months. He had to redo part of the cement since the door didn’t open and his workers did not close a sprinkler under the cement. After he finished the work, I started having problems with the irrigation system, his workers came back 3 times to fix it and they didn’t do it, I had to tell Alvaro how to fix it. Then the lightning system he installed didn’t work, it made my garage electricity turn off and all the food I had in a big freezer spoiled. I still have problems with the irrigation system, I have to replace most of the flowers since they dry out right away, and part of the cement is cracked. I asked him to give me back part of my money to hire someone professional who can fix what he didn’t know how to do, he said yes but he always gave excuses such as, he doesn’t have money, he has to go to school with his kids, his dog died, and the last one, his wife died, between other excuses."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Bakersfield, CA

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.
