"RD7 took on a huge task in getting my parentsâ yard in shape so we could sell it. They trimmed and shaped all the plants and hedges, weeded and mulched, mowed the lawn and hauled away an enormous pile of rotting firewood stacked in the backyard. I never imagined the yard could look that good. So happy with the work."

"Excellent job. The price quoted was very competitive. The communication with the firm was efficient. They provided a walk through at the end of the project to make sure the client was happy. They planted grass seed in the area where the digging out had to be done and this has grown in well. They did a much better job on the seeding than my lawn care company do!"

"Excellent! Edward’s crews come through weekly to mow the lawn and in the fall and spring to clean up the yard and beds and do plantings as requested. They are completely responsive to phone calls and emails and go out of their way to accommodate the homeowner. While they’re not what I’d call cheap, the satisfaction I get from their dependable service is worth it! I highly recommend!"

"They cut my lawn on an urgent basis but I have not been able to get confirmation that we are on their biweekly schedule for the rest of the season. Iâ  ve left 3 voicemails and sent over 3 texts, none answered. And my lawn is overdue again for cutting."

"I hired Baumann's Lawn and Landscape to fix my front lawn. The soil was mostly clay and sand and covered in weeds. They killed and removed all the vegetation, tilled the soil, brought in new topsoil, conditioned/fertilized, and then laid sod. The crew was fast, efficient, polite, and did an amazing job (hopefully this site allows me to upload photos after writing this). The work was done in 3 separate days and took less than 2 weeks from the initial phone call to the finished installation. The price is what you would expect for this level of work and that much sod (sod is not cheap). They're not over-priced but it's not Bob's discount landscaping either. You'll get your money's worth for your project. Baumann's will be my #1 choice for future landscape projects."

"Alex and his crew were wonderful in every regard. They listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, and did a marvelous job in our planting beds. We will be using them again in the spring to aerate our lawn and replant grass. I cannot recommend them more highly."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Olney, MD

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.
