"The Round-up was scheduled and done well, but two weeks later most of the grass was still green. When I called them, they were out in two days to respray. Two weeks later they slit seeded the area. I was hesitant to pay the full charge at that point and asked that they delay charging me until the area was greening up. They were ok with that. They used my yard to experiment with a new watering system they were trying. It was a timer with 4 hose end sprayers.(I didn't have to go out twice a day and stand watering for a long time!) I checked with the water dept. and they indicated that my water bill was running about triple what it normally was (a downside of new lawns). The lawn greened up nicely, but slowly due to the time of year. They said they would come back in the Spring ti reseed any ares that didn't green up. The waterfall/pond and patio area was done in just two days. They were very careful to net the fish and place them in large containers along with the water plants. After a few weeks the rocks settled and the waterfall started to leak. They came out and rearranged the rocks and I have no more leaks."

"I have small front lawn.  I just started using them this past summer because I was unhappy with my prior lawn service.  They came in with a competitive price.  They have done reasonably well.  Their work is reliable."

"From the start, Sam was responsive and professional. After meeting to discuss the job, I quickly had a itemized quote that included pictures as examples. They took care to not damage the lawn when moving equipment and materials to the back yard, laying down plywood to protect it. Everything from excavation to the laying of the pavers met my expectations and the finished product is everything I wanted."

"I called and talked to Ti about scheduling my lawn aeration.  He said he would check with utility company for underground lines and schedule me in as soon as possible.  A couple days later he called to say he had an opening the next day. Lazaro, one of his lawn care specialist, showed up the next day and completed the lawn aeration for the front and back yard.  The schedule for service worked well because I had just mowed my lawn and removed leaves the day before.   Lazaro was polite, very professional and seems to have done a thorough job, as the plugs are everywhere all over my lawn.   I am very satisfied with this service and would highly recommend this company for lawn aeration services. <br />"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Howard, OH

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.
