"Dustin and his crew came out and knocked out the job in about five hours. They did a decent job. When I arranged for him to come out for an estimate, no one showed up or called. About a week later, Dustin called to see if we still needed the yard work done. He said he didn't know about the appointment that wasn't kept. Dustin did come out, gave us an estimate and my husband hired him. Dustin was careful to give us a call about an hour before coming, just to make sure we were still good for that day and time. One thing that concerns me, and this is partly my husband's fault, is that we didn't receive a written estimate, nor did we receive a receipt. Dustin required half his fee in cash on the day he began the work and the other half in cash (I gave him a check for the second half), when the job was completed. Overall his is probably a five-star business. If you have a lawn project to do and need help with it, I'd say Dustin's Green Work Landscaping is worth a call."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Gamaliel, AR

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.
