"Jon Olsz went above and beyond to ensure that our trees and shrubs were pruned, removed and are now properly cared for. Jon walked the property with me and spent time answering my question.. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, an effective communicator and will keep you posted every step of the way. Jon visited the property before, during and again weeks after the service to ensure that we were satisfied with the work. The work was exceptional. Great care was taken not only to prune and remove the trees/shrubs but also to keep the yard clean. The pruning was to keep our amazing trees/shrubs to scale. The workmanship kept the property looking natural. All hand-pruned.. I highly recommend Almstead Tree Service and Jon Olsz."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Mahwah, NJ

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.
