We are a family operated company based out of the St. Croix Valley, MN. We service Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Offering services such as Lawn mowing, Fertilizing, Weed Control, Spring and Fall Clean Up's, Mulch and Rock installs/Refresh, Landscaping and Snow Removal.

"Originally hired a different landscaper to do some work on our property, but ended up calling Front Lines to come out and take care of what the other company started. They were awesome, if they said they would be there at 9 they were there at 9 if not 15 minutes early. Great communication throughout the project. Definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get a project done right and on time!"

"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! "

"They told me they were going to come during a certain week and I had to call them multiple times to find out when they were going to come which was weeks later. This was for the first application. For the last application, the same thing happened, but then it snowed. They said they would come as soon as possible but I had also scheduled a leaf removal and they never synched up with each other and kept trying to come when the other was supposed to come. Very disorganized. When they finally came, the ground was frozen and they couldn't get up all the leaves. I called to complain and sent pictures. They did give me $50.00 back on the leaf removal. I chose this company because they had the most "A" ratings but I won't go back to them."

TruGreen is the nation's largest provider of lawn and landscape services. We make it easy for you by delivering customized care solutions that are effective, innovative and responsible.

"Terrible. Paid in advance. They cashed the check, haven't shown up yet and I have weeds everywhere. Hired them after having surgery that prevents me from lifting and fertilizing. In past always did it on my own. Looked for help, but got screwed! Read the reviews on Google, Better business bureau, and elsewhere. I did not do this but wish I had. My advice is hire a local, non franchise lawn company. Steer clear of True Green!"

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.
