"Eric was great to work with, and exceeded all my expectations. He finished the job in one day, cleaned up the work site thoroughly, and was easy to work with. The pavers are beautiful and put in with great attention to detail. Will definitely be hiring him again for future jobs!"

I’m a hardworking, reliable individual who takes pride in doing every job right the first time. I have strong work ethic, show up on time, and put consistent effort into every task. With yard work, I’m thorough and detail-oriented—whether it’s mowing, trimming, cleanup, or general maintenance, I make sure the property looks clean, neat, and well cared for. I work efficiently, respect property, and don’t leave until the job is done properly.

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Lexington, KY

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.
