"JB Lawncare did a wonderful job trimming and shaping my 25 foot Nellie Steven’s holly tree that grows at the front corner of my house. The upper part of the tree hadn’t been trimmed in years and it’s branches were getting too close to the house. JB and his assistant did exactly what I wanted, shortened the tree and shaped it appropriately so that it’s ready for the new Spring growth to fill it out. He is fairly new at running his business, is reasonably priced, and a good worker. I definitely recommend him for residential landscaping needs."

"Terrible location, gives the other franchise a bad name, took a while to get ahold of someone to get a quote, then once signed the quote had to follow up and follow up to make deposit to get the work going, made deposit and was told dates they would come out, no one showed or called, spend the next few days trying to reach out to get it scheduled and finally they are processing a refund since no work was done and couldn't tell when they would come out. No way to contact, just have to leave messages and they get back with you when they feel like it. Avoid this place at all costs "

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Mechanicsville, VA

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.
