"I`m not really big on reviews, unless for something exceptional, so to make it short, contacted max last week to schedule lawn maintenance. came by to look at lawn and we talked for 20 minutes. very personable, responsible, caring young man. scheduled a cut, but there was a mixup with his crew, so didn`t arrive. 2 days later max showed up himself on the way home, almost at twilight, apoligised bunch of times, and cut my lawn himself. and the kicker, refused to take any money!! told me to take my wife out to dinner instead(which I did). that's customer service!! thanks max, I`m a customer as long as you`ll have me!"

"Professional, timely and thorough. I am also using them for my lawn care and may I say my lawn has never looked greener. The only yard in my neighborhood with no dandelions :) It's still early in the season but so far so good. I couldn't be happier."

"I have had Green Lawn as my lawn service provider for years and they do complete lawn servicing from maintenance to annual seeding and aerating. I have found them to be excellent in customer service and responsive whenever I have had a concern. The supervisor for my area Dominic has always gone above and beyond to help in every way possible. I have recommended family members who now have Green Lawn as their lawn service and will continue to recommend them in the future!"

"I live out of state and this is the second time I have used Patric and his crew and once again they did an outstanding job on my sister’s house. All of the trees and shrubs were pruned and shaped and new mulch applied. Patric sent me a video of the work both before and after. He also made another trip to dethatch the lawn and applied grub killer, fertilizer and new seed. When I finally arrived at my sister’s house, I was so pleased with the results! Everything looks great! He is prompt, reliable with fair prices. I highly recommend Patric and his team and will definitely use them for all future projects."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Toms River, 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.
