"Neighbor's Envy, LLC recently started cutting our lawn and they are fantastic! The crew does a great job cutting, edging and blowing away the grass clippings. The owner Chris is very professional, affable, dependable and responsive to questions. We just started using them for our lawn care, and had obtained quotes from multiple landscaping companies, and Neighbor's Envy’s price quote was the most detailed and reasonable. We are so happy with their work and their pricing. I would highly recommend Neighbor's Envy, LLC."

"Sean and his team were awesome. We hired them during their busiest season, and they were still able to complete my landscaping job in a timely manner, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Their prices are ridiculously fair, and I will definitely be using them again in the very near future."

"The pro has been servicing our Mclean property quite well for a couple of years. Our lawn looks good and we are satisfied with the service. The customer service is sometimes underwhelming but it gets the job done at a reasonable cost which is really becoming harder by the day to get."

"Do NOT pay ahead!! My tree cutting and stump removal was dragged on for weeks, and was only completed after multiple phone calls. The job was done well, but I did not appreciate having to make multiple calls to remind them/ask them, when they were coming to do the work, and later, when they were coming to complete the work."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Dover, NJ

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.
