"I recently worked with Cleber and the Xtra Care team on frontyard landscaping for our home in Potomac. I had an excellent experience from beginning to end. Cleber and his team are professional and detail-oriented. He is flexible to work with his clients and he listens, while sharing his own ideas. Cleber's team has expertise on landscaping, which was helpful as I requested for deer-resistant trees. Pricing is transparent with detail-oriented quotes that share line-item details on each plant, stone, or other item. Finally, on the day of, Cleber and his team worked efficiently and thoroughly. Each team member was polite and hardworking, and made the overall experience a pleasure. I look forward to continuing to work with Cleber and his team on my future landscaping and hardscaping needs."

"Edwards Lawn did a great job. I really liked the completed work. They reshaped the flower beds, removed old mulch and added new mulch around the flower beds. They also brought in topsoil and filled in low spots, covered exposed drainage tubes, aerated, and overseeded. It all looks great."

"I hired William and his team to weed mulch and clean up my flower beds, and weed and feed my lawn. The price was high, but I thought the quality would be worth it. After the work was done, I thought the job was well done, however, I found that there was weed killer sprayed on the grass, but the lawn was never seeded which created large brown spots on the lawn, the beds were not weeded, only mulch placed over the weeds, which grew through the next week. The weed killer was sprayed on my neighbors rose bush and killed it. When I reached out to William, he ignored my requests to address the problem."

"I've been with them I know 4 years.  You're gonna have a hiccup every now and then.  There was in an announcement they gave me for mulching and everything, but we got it straightened out.  I'm not sure how long that's gonna be, but we got it straightened out.  They're very good.   They're a very good family ran business.  Two brothers are running it now, Matt & Rick; and both of them you know, they're just good guys.  They do an excellent job.  Matt, who oversees the mowing; I can't say enough good things about him because he's outstanding.  One thing I've noticed about this particular landscaping company; they care you know, they wanna know if you're not happy.  Especially Matt; I think Rick does landscaping, but as far as the mowing and all this other stuff.  Matt's the one that I have most of, well actually all of my correspondence is with Matt.  He has a crew that does all the work.  The cost is weekly.  On price, I think for the size of yard; A.  On punctuality, well now sometimes they come maybe on a Wednesday.  I think if I set a date, if I said Matt I want the crew here on Thursday no exceptions; I think he'd do it.  I didn't have them mow last week because it was too hot and the yard didn't need it.  So they came Monday, when they would have usually been here Wednesday or Thursday before.  So, it's okay.  The only reason why I went trying, I was just checking prices because I'm alone and I'm trying to watch how I spend the money, but nah.  They're just good guys.  They are a good company and I'm speaking 98.9% regarding Matt because that's the one I use the most.  I hope he knows it, but it never hurts for someone else to tell him.  He's just been very good as far as my relationship with him on business; it's just been outstanding.  I just have a good relationship with him and I hope it continues because I don't know what I'd do.  I'm sure there's other good ones out there, but that's just one thing I don't have to worry about.  I'd be glad for him to know it, because as I said I think he already knows how much I appreciate him and how much I think of him, but it's always good for him to know that I'm willing to tell others too.  It's hard work.  You know landscaping; I know they get on mowers and I know they ride, but let me tell ya.  It's hot out there so I appreciate 'em."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Gaithersburg, MD

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.
