"Hendricks Landscaping absolutely knocked it out of the park for us! From start to finish, he was incredible to work with. He truly listens to your ideas, pays attention to every little detail, and then brings your vision to life even better than you imagined. He works fast but never sacrifices quality. He carefully selects the best materials, shows up when he says he will (which is huge!), and his pricing is more than fair for the level of work he delivers. On top of that, he’s polite, professional, and leaves the job site spotless every single time. It’s rare to find someone this reliable and hardworking — we couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Hendricks Landscaping!"

"We have used their services for over two years. They rescued us!! We had hired another crew to work on the weekend after having 2 truckloads of bark delivered. The other company was a no show. Florez immediately rearranged their day and worked hard and fast to get it all spread in one day. We hired them that day to maintain our 50 unit condo lawns, fertilize, keep weeds under control, prune all our roses and flower beds, remove overgrown shrubs and bushes and keep our parking lots spotless!! They always go above and beyond with a cheerful attitude which we truly appreciate. And here comes the Fall season where they definitely SHINE! We have a lot of trees and they always keep the leaves cleaned up which is a huge job. You will always have peace of mind of mind when you hire them!!! "

"RoRo Landscaping trimmed 90 feet of 20+ year-old Laurel hedge for me. The hedge was 10 feet high at each end and shorter in the middle. Rodrigo cut back the height on both ends and the overall width. He gave me a free estimate and showed up on the day he said he would. RoRo’s expert cutting, cleanup and professional attitude give me confidence to call on them again, if I have other landscaping projects. Here are pictures of the hedge, before and after trimming. My wife and I are very happy we chose RoRo Landscaping for this project. "

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Salem, OR

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.
