"We are in the process of building a home in Powhatan, VA. We recently had the best professional experience with Bobby from Coastal Landscape Construction! This was not an easy job to clear about 2 acres, put in a long drive way and work in challenging cold and wet weather. Bobby is an up and coming young professional and knows exactly how to plan and achieve the end goal. Bobby was always on time, communicated daily and effectively, planned the land clearing perfectly and his prices are competitive but extremely reasonable. If you want or need any construction work completed right, you MUST use Bobby from Coastal Landscape Construction! Bobby earned a 10/10 perfect review from us and we will be using him again during our home building process! His business phone number is 804-441-1768, serving Powhatan, Midlothian and Richmond VA area."

"A crew of four plus two vehicles showed up on time. David was there to supervise. They worked speedily and carefully, cleaning up completely. Also checked knot in tree to see if a water vent could be put in, so water wouldn't sit and rot out tree."

"They removed a very tall oak tree which had fallen on the screened-in porch on the end of the house. They were able to come very promptly, the same day that I called to ask for the estimate. Once I received the estimate price and had approval from my homeowner's insurance to do the work, Arbor Care Tree Service took care of my job that very same day. Since the tree remained stable, they cut up as much of the tree as they could reach while it was still on the house. They used a crane to lift the heaviest part of the tree that remained up and off of the house so that it would not do any further damage to the house as it was being removed. They put a large tarp that I purchased in place over the damaged area until it could be repaired. They hauled away all of the debris and the area was as clean as could be. They put some of the logs aside so that one of my neighbors could use them for heat. Arbor Care Tree Service worked carefully, safely, and were very courteous. I was very pleased with their work."

"While Dave is one of the hardest workers I have encountered I was unprepared for the costs of the above projects.  We had some serious mis-communication in between the estimate (one day -8 hrs- @ $60 an hour = $480 to do all the above work).  This amount was quoted for TWO people and Dave said "we work really fast and can do this in one day).  I was thrilled.  I thought with materials I would be well under $1000 which is the amount I was willing to spend on these projects. <br> <br>Dave's helper did not show up and he worked alone and did not get all of the projects done in one day as planned.  I did not think this was a problem because I would expect it to take one person two days.  I did mention this to him the second day and he said he only paid his helper $8/hr so he would still charge me $52.00 an hour.  I thought this very unfair but I liked Dave and his work so I did not say anything more.  When he had to return a third day I assumed I was at least getting charged for "short days" but that was not the case.  My total bill was over $2100 (including $700+ for materials).  I was dumbfounded but paid my bill. <br> <br>As for the work itself, all was done well with the exception of the screen door.  Dave originally said that he would get a price on a new door and then see if it was cheaper to replace or repair the door I had.  The door I had was simply out of square but was otherwise in good condition and had a grill on the bottom half that I really liked.  It looked like a quality door.  Dave forgot to discuss a new door with me so I did not know the cost or anything.  He simply brought it an installed.  The door looks very cheap (but was not); did not have a grill; did not fit and he had to cut it down.  When I was very, very dissatisfied with this door that STILL showed gaps where insects could get in, Dave quickly offered to take it down and "eat" the cost.  To his credit, he was adamant that I be satisfied.  My desire to not be wasteful, made me say "no" to this and I said I would live with it.  He made a couple of suggestions of things I could do to improve it and offered to do them himself but I was afraid of the costs at that point and said no.  <br> <br>A few days later, I called Dave back and ask he he would consider coming back and fixing that door at no charge.  He said yes and we scheduled a day.  He did everything he could to make it right (even added the grill I wanted from the old door).  However, it is still out of square.  Dave said before he left if the door warped or was not right to let him know and he would return it to the store implying that the problem may be the door itself.  I have considered this but likely will not take him up on it because I do not want to pay him any more for this job and I do not think he should do this for free. <br> <br>Dave and I parted on good terms and he agreed that he needs to be more specific on charges when they go way beyond original quotes.  He does quality work and has good ideas on how to make things right. I expect to use him again but will be more vigilant of keeping the work within the estimate. I hope this is helpful to Dave and his future customers. <br>"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Buckingham, VA

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.
