"They do good work if you can get them to your house. Their scheduler seems very confused. I hired them to clean my yard in November for 4 weeks. The first week I gave them a check for all 4 weeks. The second week they did not show. I called their office and someone came out that day. The second week was the last I saw them. With the holidays and a family illness I did not contact them until February. I informed them they owed me 2 more visits and that the check had not been cashed. She said she did not have the check to stop payment on the check and she would send them out for another visit. I stopped payment on the check, a $20 fee to do so and the workers never showed. She called me in March and said she had found the check. I again asked for them to come and clean the yard, they never showed. I am done. The most frustrating part is that they are on my block every week. They do great work when they come they just don?t show up. I guess you need to be a yearly customer."

Customers say: Quick response

"I have a rose bush beside my mailbox that has sentimental value with my daughter. When they first came out they cut it down while edging around it. When I brought it to the owners attention he assured me that this would not happen again. Luckily the rose started to come back, and I was very happy. Now the second time they came out.. and again they edged right over it and cut it down again. This time when brought to his attention he seemed to not care and definitely did not take any responsibility. His response was that he did not do it, that one of his guys did, and from now on he will tell his crew to not even go around the mailbox. So now the mailbox will not get edged? I will not be recommending his service to anyone. Very disappointed in the service I received. "

"The pro has been servicing our Mclean property quite well for a couple of years. Our lawn looks good and we are satisfied with the service. The customer service is sometimes underwhelming but it gets the job done at a reasonable cost which is really becoming harder by the day to get."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Norfolk, 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.
