"HORRIBLE! Todd Davidson gauged the h*** out of me for $1000.00 and the project plan was not finalized. DON"T GIVE THIS MAN MONEY. He claims that you get 20 years experience at $125/hr, yet you get a new grad-1 year experience. I spoke to a lot of people who had the same experience. He is even known at local nurseries for gouging people. I should have researched more. He was rude, and very unprofessional. He doesn't even understand the true work involved- Todd is a scamming salesman and pays these new workers minimal while he skims the $100/hr off the top. Another Landscaper I found-many years of hands on design experience,highly recommended- charged me nothing for a 2 hour consult, told me what I could or couldn't do and some serious flaws in Sage's design ideas that would cause eventual erosion if done as Sage suggested. He would not even let me pay him for his time. RUN AWAY from Sage"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Shandon, CA

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.
