"The sales person who came out to assess my yard and provide an estimate impressed me by being very knowledgable. They really seem to understand and care about the biology of it all. I was disappointed that they couldn't provide me with a time window when the initial work would be done during the day, and more disappointed when they missed the first scheduled day. However, they showed up the following day and got the job done efficiently. Hopeful about the future health of the lawn but time will tell..."

"I thought this landscaping job was professionally done by Angel Landscaping. I can actually see my property in the front. The backyard was very big cleanup job since my husband can't maintain the backyard like he used. I will certainly use this company in the future for my landscaping. Prompt attention with no ego for budget negotiation. Thank you."

"It was okay. I wasn't able to confirm that he actually did the work because he showed up when I wasn't home. He never actually called to make the appointment. He did it when I wasn't home. There was no way for me to tell whether he put everything on the lawn the way he was supposed to. I couldn't inspect the work."

"Miguel was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project!I had a complicated patio design which required the removal of two massive tree stumps, the addition of a new drainage system to handle storm water that was creating problems with my foundation, footings for a new Gazebo, and regrading of my backyard to help with the design. Miguel visited my property 3 times to give me ideas/recommendations on how to fix my water issues with the patio design I was looking for. I could immediately tell Miguel was a true professional at what he does and truly cares about doing the best job for his customers. No other contractor spent the amount of time to think through the options and this helped me feel comfortable knowing Miguel and his team were going to take the time to do it right. When you are making big investments on your property, you want someone you can trust and who's going to stand by their work and Miguel did just that. He always returned my phone calls, followed through on details we discussed, kept me updated and addressed any concerns I had along the way, and completed the job on time and was very fair with his pricing. I cannot speak any more highly of Miguel and his team and will be using his team going forward and recommending him to family & friends."

"I called three places and Garcia & Brothers was the only one who returned my call. Maybe my description appeared like a small job but it cost me over $1,800. I do think their prices were fair and did a good job overall. I am not sure whether this is a small job for a landscaper. Anyway, it took me by surprise that they do not give out a written quote--everything is done verbally. I wrote down everything they said about the prices and they took a picture of what I wrote down. Funny I thought. The prices he said did not change-- I figure that they must charge the same amount for everybody and must have a good memory to remember all that. I mean had to refer back to what I wrote down --but they did not need to. They did a good job cleaning and planting etc. After they left, I realized that they punctured my retractable garden hose ($29) while watering plants when they came back to take care of a couple of things. I didn't make a big deal of it because ...I mean I did not see it happen and they had left my property already."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in East Orange, 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.
