"They do a nice job. There's a crew that comes every Thursday and they cut the grass, they do all the trimming and do apply fertilizers. They are very thorough. We've been using them for four or five years. They come when they are supposed to."

"Jose cam out Sunday and gave a quote for weekly lawn maintenance. He specifically scorned our previous landscapers work and said his crew would do a much better job. My husband walked him around our yard and a specific game plan to clean up our yard was developed including a weeding and edging of beds (for an agreed upon extra charge of $300). Our yard has a steep ditch in the front which we warned Jose about - and how wet it was. He promised to use a hand mower in the ditch area to avoid muddy tracks on our lawn. The crew showed yesterday, drove their tractor straight into the ditch, got stuck, dragged it out causing more chewed lawn. They did not pick up any of the sticks - just drove over them and left grass clippings everywhere. Our chairs were left askew in the front and were not placed back. When we called today for a fix, we were told they would not be bothered. If you want a service that over promises and under delivers, this is the company for you."

". We have been regular customer of this provider. They do general landscaping for us for half an acre. They are pet friendly. They are very efficient and they are very affordable. I have not had any problems with them. As for professionalism I have not been around at home when they were here. I will continue to use them in the future."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Marengo, IL

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.
