"Very professional. Ben repaired a very old and messy system and revived it. He explained everything along the way, and now it is functioning for the first time in several years. He was very inexpensive but very thorough. Thanks, Ben!"

"Absolutely avoid this company! We were with them for several years because a friend of ours owned a lawn care company that they acquired. Once they took over our lawn, look terrible. They over seated into all of our planting areas and we have been trying to remove that grass for years now. We finally explored other options and found a company that we really like. We had been paying an annual and did not renew our program with them. They came out and provided one more service without our authorization. For two years, they hounded us for $62. I tried repeatedly to contact someone to resolve the issue and to get them to repair the flagstone that they damaged. I was met with Unruh returned, calls, avoidance, etc. they finally turned it over to collection and now I have that to deal with. Avoid at all costs!"

"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."

"I had Angel install sod and sprinklers last year. Not long after installation I told him there’s a very large section in the middle that’s dying. He told me to increase the water so I did. It did not help. I had him back out this spring to give me a quote on more landscape work and showed him the area that’s struggling while he was there. Hhe said it’s probably the soil. This year the same area is dying so I decided to run the sprinkles and monitor them. I can stand in the middle of my lawn and don’t get wet. It’s clear the sprinklers don’t reach the middle of my lawn. I decided to manually water them for 2 weeks to see if that solves the problem. Yes, after manually watering the middle all the grass comes back. I called Angel to inform him that the sprinklers don’t reach the middle of the lawn. He said that’s not the problem. I need to run my sprinklers for an entire hour a day. I told him no because all the lawn looks beautiful except for the middle which does not get water through the sprinklers. He refuses to adjust my sprinklers, fix the problem, or come out to see if they actually reach the middle of my lawn. It’s clear Angel does not back up the quality of his work and won’t fix the problem that I paid him to install properly. I would never recommend someone that won’t stand behind the quality of their work or at least come out to look if it was installed properly."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Fort Collins, CO

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.
