"I have worked with Green Art every Spring for 3 years. The initial service they worked with an independent lawn and garden designer that I hired to design a perennial garden. Both the front and street-sides of the gardens, Green Art did all the work. I have hired them every spring to help groom any bushes, weeding and replanting any plant that it not make it through the winter. They also mulch and manicure the garden and leave it prestine.

"I can honestly say that Carl and G that work for Hannah Plumbing did an excellent job installing a new toilet and shut off valves in our bathroom yesterday. My problem is that they also unplugged our Condensate Drain Line for our air conditioner which caused a very small leak in the line. When I showed it to Carl before they left, he told me that they do not fix that kind of pipe. We paid them $1,350.00 in full. Later I was thinking that it was strange that they couldn't fix this small leak. I called the owner, Greg Hannah. He was very nice, asked me to send pics. He called be back today and told me that Carl said that he DID NOT even attempt to clear that drain. Carl is definitely lying and Greg would not believe me. In tears, I called them crooks and hung up. Maybe because we are in our 70's they feel that they can take advantage of Senior Citizens. I will offer up a Mass, Holy Communion and say the rosary for Carl so he would admit his lies and come clean. I guess Greg has to believe his workers over his customers. Thank you"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Oak Park, 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.
