"My husband and I worked with Four Brothers Landscaping to complete a front, back, and side yard landscaping project in September 2021. Antonio - who runs the company and was our main point of contact - was absolutely wonderful to work with. He arrived on time for every appointment, communicated throughout every step of the project, navigated the tight timelines and complicated project flow we were working with (we were working against installation schedules for fencing and irrigation, and a massive chimney masonry project that popped up in the middle of the landscaping one), and made such helpful suggestions along the way. The crew was fantastic - so friendly, meticulous, quick, and left the workspace immaculate at the end of each day. Antonio's wife, who oversees a majority of the operations, was so wonderful to work with as well. It truly is a family operation run by honest, hard working people. Prior to connecting with Antonio for the project, we met with three other landscapers who either over complicated the details, or never followed up after our initial meeting. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Four Brothers Landscaping as they completely transformed our property and went above and beyond in every aspect of the job. We enjoyed working with them so much and hope to have more projects with them in the future. Highly recommend!"

"Awesome. Danny and his crew were great to work with. They planted a lovely dogwood, flowers for 5 clay pots, 5 hanging pots, 5 concrete vases, 2 concrete boxes, and a large wood planter. They transplanted a flowering bush I wanted to keep, cleaned out and raised the soil level of the wood box (size approx 6x8 feet) so the perennials and annuals could be seen. We discussed the colors I wanted, he shared photos of his suggestions, and made adjustments based on my feedback. My front, side and backyards now look wonderful! Next year I plan to work with him starting April and not August :-). I recommend them highly."

"Jon Olsz went above and beyond to ensure that our trees and shrubs were pruned, removed and are now properly cared for. Jon walked the property with me and spent time answering my question.. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, an effective communicator and will keep you posted every step of the way. Jon visited the property before, during and again weeks after the service to ensure that we were satisfied with the work. The work was exceptional. Great care was taken not only to prune and remove the trees/shrubs but also to keep the yard clean. The pruning was to keep our amazing trees/shrubs to scale. The workmanship kept the property looking natural. All hand-pruned.. I highly recommend Almstead Tree Service and Jon Olsz."

"We used TBI back in 2005 ish?? Not exact on the year but we were and still are very satisfied with the work they did for us on our front steps and walkway. In replacing the front steps they discovered we had another issue and that needed to be resolved before they could continue with their work. They could have said nothing but instead Bill Taylor pointed out the issue which could have cost us alot more money down the road.. and all these years later we still appreciate the job TBI did for us.. the pavers and front steps are still in great shape thanks to Bill Taylor's high standards and great work ethic. We recommend TBI whenever we can. Recently I visited a friends home who had TBI do work for them and their finished work had the same consistency, quality and beauty that I have come to admire and expect from TBI. Strongly recommend TBI for your lawn, garden, and out door living space needs. Thanks TBI! ❤ The LaMarro's"

"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 Ridgewood, NJ

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.
