"We are so pleased with our new lawn. We got several bids. We chose Doug because we just liked him and felt good about it. He was always on time. The crew he brought worked hard and steady. They were all friendly. When the job was finished they cleaned up and left our property better than they found it. It s been 10 days since the sod was laid. Everything is still green and healthy looking. We would hire him again in a heartbeat"

"José and his crew did a great job! They did all I asked for, and my yard is just so much better. A great job trimming the shrubs and cleaning out the flower beds! They were even able to mow and edge my very wet and overgrown lawn. I will have them come back in the fall to help ‘winterize’."

"RR used to take care of our yard regularly. After moving to somewhere with no lawn, we hadn't been needing them. We found them again on Home Advisor for some trimming and cleanup. They came out to give an estimate the same day and did a beautiful job the next day. We've already scheduled more projects with them. Great people, great work, great prices!"

"Eric kept us apprised of scheduling. He did an amazing job on my childhood home. He took care of everything I wanted and more. He was sensitive to our needs. I would not only recommend him, but I'm really happy to continue to work with him. He was great with my family. I just can't speak highly enough of him."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Lakewood, WA

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.
