"Almstead came to trim one very large and three smaller trees in the small yard behind our Brooklyn brownstone. I was extremely impressed by how they scaled the large tree to cut huge branches and lower them down carefully so that they didn't fall into the neighbors yards. They removed all the branches and cleaned up any remaining debris. They were quick, efficient and very professional. I would highly recommend them."

"I don't think he did a great job on trimming and stuff though. I was going to have them for the whole yard. It was supposed to be yard work and tree trimming or lawn maintenance but then I don't know what happened but then again he stopped by and since we didn't get any one to do the work, we had him do the trimming. I wouldn't have it done by him again. I thought the pricing was kind of expensive for what he did. They just stopped by, I guess it was a Saturday and they were looking for something to do so I decided for them to go ahead and do it and being that he had all these people in there for landscaping I thought hey did a great job but we weren't happy with the trimming at all. They were very nice, it's just that I don't think they have the people to be able to do the good job. We've had trimming before and the people did a fabulous job."

"We arranged a day to have the work done.  Due to a rain storm, the <br /> original day for the work to be done had to be moved on short notice.  <br /> The communication about moving the day was via a phone call, text <br /> message and email - which I thought was excellent.  <br /> When the new appointment day came, the crew arrived 10 minutes early.  <br /> Everyone introduced themselves, josh reviewed the work to be done with <br /> me, and then with the crew.  After that the crew positioned the truck, <br /> got out their gear and got right to work.  The trees are too big for <br /> them to use a truck or ladders, so they used ropes to climb up into the <br /> tree canopy (no spikes used) and started pruning and removing dead <br /> branches.  They worked for 4 hours with no breaks, stopped for about an <br /> hour at lunch time, then did another 2 hours.  After the trimming work, <br /> there was a bunch of branches on the ground, which they put through <br /> their chipper/shredder, raked up the area, and used a blower to finish.  <br /> If you didn't know what had happened, you'd never have been able to <br /> tell anything was previously on the lawn. <br /> All in all - it was a quality experience.  Work was done right by a <br /> professional crew.  Communication was excellent.  Price was fair and <br /> reasonable.  I'd definitely be willing to hire them again."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Kew Gardens, NY

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.
