"They have been great mowing. They have done my fall cleanup for several years. Last year the crew left a pile of sticks and leaves. When they came this year to mow, they complained about sticks and said that they could come an take care of them. I told them I paid last year and they left them there. Other than that they have been very good."

"I was impressed with his efficiency and candor.  He was also helpful in directing me toward lawn tractors that I should consider for my next purchase.  It was a pleasant surprise when he stated he was going to make sure I got a refund of the $50 spent on the special offer.

"Zach and his crew are dependable, congenial and thorough. They know that I take great pride in my gardens and they keep them edged beautifully. Last spring they spread topsoil and seeded my front lawn. I was very pleased with the results since it needed grading. I highly recommend Dufort Landscaping."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Kittery, ME

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.
