"We had the sump pump and gutter drainage funneled into Flo-wells that led to a rain garden. The workmanship and professionalism was superb. So far our sump pump is not turning on nearly as much as it used to, so the system is working to accomplish what we needed. But more than that, the workmanship is beautiful!!! We were so impressed that we have just asked Poul's landscaping to take care of another area in the yard that is an eyesore."

"Andy was the first landscaper of 3 landscapers to come out to look things over to give an estimate.  He spent quite a bit of time looking over the property and getting an idea of what we wanted done and how we could potentially use the rocks we didn't want in the flower beds and a bush that was in an awkward place in our yard. Then he submitted his estimate with a drawing of what he'd do with our yard, and the selection of plants that he thought would look nice and be easy to care for.  After we had selected him to do the work, he came by with a sample of the paving stones we had chosen to make sure the color was to our liking.  We had a couple of minor changes to the plant selection and the configuration of the new sidewalk.  Work began about 2 weeks selected Stepaneck Landscaping.  They handled getting the permit.  The work was completed in 5 days, as promised and we could not be more pleased.  We would definitely work with Andy again and would recommend him to friends and neighbors. <br /> <br />"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Fort-sheridan, IL

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.
