"I recently hired Two Seasons for a yard clean up and lawn mow. They did a great job, I offered them my yard bin for the yard waste and Justin said no they keep it and dispose of it themselves. They did all the edges even the driveway and cleaned it afterwards. I’d hire them again. They were in and out quick. Thumbs up! "

"Dusty did an excellent job and was truly a pleasure to work with. He was consistently accessible, reliable, and trustworthy. He showed up when he said he would and got the work done for the amount he quoted. Also, his crew were great and enjoyable to have around. His estimates were very professional and included everything needed for the job, so there were no surprises at the end. Although his total was more than the others, his quote was much more detailed and showed that he had thought through the job much more carefully. Dusty paid close attention to the quality of the work and did a nice job of cleaning up at the end (unlike just about every other contractor I have hired). I also really appreciated his excellent customer service. He always returned my messages promptly, even after the job was done and paid for. He also helped me out with a lot of small tasks at no extra charge. My front yard looks great now, and people walking by keep stopping to tell me how good it looks."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Cottage Grove, MN

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.
