"I highly recommend Compass Lawn Care and Lights. They handle lawn care and snow removal for me and have done side projects as well. Brecken does a great job at communicating and keeping me up to date on everything. He always shows up on time and if heâ s not able to make it that day, he reaches out and tells me. The lawn looks amazing, the prices are very reasonable, and heâ s so easy to work with. Highly recommended!!"

"Current trying to get John subpoenaed to go to out court date on December 11th at 10:00 a.m. Cass county Ne. John agreed to give me back my $12,000 + payment if I did not leave any bad reviews. He received over $19000 and did not even come close to finishing the work and not one time came to the job site. "

"Do NOT use Chris Vanesko. I wish I'd seen an earlier review where he disappeared with people's $ and never completed the work. You're always tempted to write-off reviews like that but sure enough he allegedly did the same thing to an elderly couple nearby. He took the money, disappeared, eventually crawled out to offer some pitiful excuse, then promptly disappeared again. DO NOT USE THIS CHARLATAN! There's a similar review out there too - so it's not just me."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Council Bluffs, IA

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.
