"Before I continue I just want whoever is reading this to know that I don't normally give bad reviews but this time I have to. First of all, I hired Sylca for landscaping (to clean out the mulch, take out old bushes, add rocks and replant 4 Azalea bushes). I live in a town home and my "landscaping" area is very small. Sylca charged me $500 (which I found out later I overpaid). While he was there, he said he would mow my lawn and take care of the landscaping for $30 - I said sure. Within 2 months 3 of the 4 bushes he planted died. I called him up and he told me I was responsible for them (didn't understand that one but ok) so I paid, again, for him to replant the bushes. As part of the mowing he was supposed to weed around the bushes - he never did. Every time he came I either told one of the guys or emailed him that he needed to weed. The last time he came - sure enough weeds were not pulled. So I emailed him with pictures and he proceeded to tell me that he is not responsible for any weeds that are not around the bushes. I was like what? So I told him fine and to send me my last invoice. I have since hired someone else who is charging me $25 to not only mow and weed and landscape but he is also taking care of a tree that is on my sidewalk that Sycla never even touched."

"The job was completed on time, when promised. Maurice explained each step along the way. When the job was completed, he made sure the sprinkler hads were watering only the areas that I wanted, and spent time on each one to be sure it was accurate. He spent time explaining how to operate the system, and supplied a map accurately locating each sprinkler head. I continue to use Lawns Unlimited for other services, and appreciate their expertise. I recommend them to others, and will continue to use them. <br />"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Delmar, DE

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.
