"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."

"Wonderful experience with Xtra Care. I live in a DC rowhouse and needed underdeck landscaping work to control the drainage/mosquito problems. Xtra Care was very attentive to cost and suitability needs, adjusting plans multiple times until we had exactly what we needed. During construction, additional work was identified as necessary and Xtra Care did so with professionalism. I am very happy with the work and even happier that my mosquito problem has been eliminated. I would highly recommend Xtra Care for work in the DC metro area."

"After dealing with a non-responsive lawn maintenance company that actually damaged my lawn and property, I found Edward's Lawn and Landscaping. This is my first year with them, and thus far they have exceeded expectations. They took a weed-invested mess of a yard and quickly transformed it into a beautiful lawn. They are completely reliable and their communication with customers is absolutely first-rate, which seems to be very rare in the lawn maintenance business. I'm always told if any service is delayed by weather and asked if I want any extra services without pressure to buy them. An excellent company all around."

"Very professional and pleasant. Wonderful response time to my urgent plea for quick service. My beds look beautiful and the grass was cut at just the right height. They offer many services (gutter cleaning, lawn reclamation, planting, etc.) A bit more expensive than I was expecting, but well worth the extra cost."

"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 have extensive damage to my lawn due to moles, so I needed to have the whole lawn reseeded. I decided to have the lawn aerated with their two direction aerator and then seeded. They said your lawn would be thick come spring time and would have very few if any weeds. They were right, grass even grew in shaded areas that would never take shade seed. They left you with a small bag of sun seed and small bag of shade seed to touch up any areas that need some attention. Very happy with the results. I used a little of the shade seed in the spring and that was all."

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.
