Did everything from mowing, weed whacking and taking all the clippings when he was done. Very responsive to calls and concerns. Highly recommend! You will be very pleased."

"The good news...They were very professional, knowledgable and cleaned up each day (3 day job) . They took down 8 trees and trimmed another 15. Four of the 8 trees were in a VERY difficult location. The stump grinder was there the next day and did 6 stumps and filled in the depressions on the lawn. It was an excellent clean up. The Bad News..... Communication was lost somewhere between my speaking to the boss and the guy with the chain saw in his hand. They overtrimmed half the trees. They even did trimming the boss told me he didn't recommend! My wife is heartbroken. I would still recommend them BUT take the time off from work and WATCH them"

"We have used TLM for years to mow our lawn bi-weekly and bring leaves to the street for pickup by the town each autumn. The crew is uniformly punctual, polite, skilled and professional in every way. This is why hiring local businesses is the way to go. Thank you Total Lawn Management for great service. "

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Farmington, CT

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.
