"I had a serious pigeon problem on my terrace( droppings , feathers, eggs). They were constantly on my terrace and cleaning it became an overwhelming task for me. I contacted Thomas Handy service over a weekend. 3 days later , New Year’s Eve to be exact, they were there to clean and dispose of all necessary items. In less than 2 hours my terrace and furniture were immaculate and now covered and ready for the spring . I would absolutely hire them again."

"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."

"Extremely happy with the look and the craftsmanship of this job.Arthur, who is the owner, was a pleasure to work with and he and his crew did an excellent job. After we first met he came back with a color draft of what the completed project would look like and the end result looked just as great. His employees were there every day ,rain or shine, and their dedication and hard work was evident in the finished product. My son first used JBA Landscaping and we were impressed with their work and I'm glad we picked them for our patio installation."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Elizabeth, 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.
