"I went home on the day of the tree planting and leveling part to find some area's around my driveway to be scraped or something looking like large divots. I told the guys about it and they said they did it backing in and were sorry and would take care of it when they came back. They didn't come back. The tree planting looked good except the trees were quite small. I didn't specify the size of tree I wanted but I understand a smaller tree costs less. The leveling part didn't look the way I thought it should. It was soft and uneven. I was told they would come back in a few weeks after it settled to make it look better. Some time after this I called Mike and asked when they would be back and he indicated the tree shouldn't be trimmed until October and they needed to wait until the fall to seed the grass anyway. After mowing around these area's for more than a month, I decided that it seemed strange to wait until fall to seed these areas. I called Mike back and he apparently decided I was being unreasonable and he would refund the tree trimming deposit and end our business. I asked him to finish the leveling(compacting and seeding) now or within the next couple of weeks but, he indicated that he didn't want to deal with me. So, now I have a tree that still needs trimmed (in the fall), trees planted that are quite small, a driveway with divots on either side, and a back yard with scrub growing. Thankfully I didn't pay for the entire job up front. I was paying proportionally, but I wanted all of the work done. Thank you Mike Wynn Lawn Service."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Charleston, WV

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.
