"Quick response / good communication / arrived on time. I ended up only using their certified arborists advice about my tree problem. I offered to pay and was told advice was free. That was nice & I liked the advice. I did receive some upselling which I dont like. Also, I dont use chemicals in my yard so they are not the best match for me for lawn care, etc."

"The sprinkler installation was great. We moved into a home with an outdated system. Stark also put down some curbing and gravel, and all went well with that. The issue arose with our sod. The sod went in and Stark set the sprinklers and left watering instructions. We stayed off the lawn for a few weeks, per instructions. During the summer, I noticed the grass thinning out and by the end of the summer, 1/2-2/3 of our lawn no longer had grass. The next spring, I called Stark to inquire with them about the issue. It took a bit of back and forth but I was finally able to get them out. They appeared surprised at how poorly the sod took. Their solution was to use a seed slitter and put the grass seed directly into the soil. They did not do anything about the layer of dead sod that was sitting on top of the ground. The yard essentially looks the same and I am disappointed that we spent the money to have sod put in because it was a waste. I would not hire Stark to do any landscaping work."

"They were professional and did a good job of trimming a very large maple tree. I was very satisfied with their work. They cut down several limbs and were careful not to cut any limbs that would leave a hole in the canopy.  They cleaned up everything even little pieces. <br />"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Caldwell, ID

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.
