"Green Planet evaluated our lawn and immediately identified an insect problem that was causing brown patches. Then they successfully treated it. Our lawn is looking so much better after one visit. Highly recommend."

"Been a DIY lawn care person my entire life, but decided my time was best spent on other activities. What I like about these guys is that they took their time to diagnose a few issues I was having and worked with me on how to resolve it. Have not gone a whole season with them yet, but I am already loving the expertise, time and care they are putting into my lawn. Definitely recommend."

"We just had our back lawn completely tilled up and replanted.  They did not do that service but did continue the weed and feed on the front and later when the grass came up in the back.  The lawn looks great.  This is my 2nd season with Lush Lawn and I am very pleased with their service.  I would definitely recommend them. <br />"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Otisville, MI

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.
