"I had hired Leo once before and he did a good job. However, for my recent job, he received a downpayment for my job and never returned to finish the job. Kept promising me would return to finish but never did and then he did not return my phone calls. He left piles and piles and piles of debris for me to dispose of by myself and his helper trimmed the back hillside very very close and it looks like it is almost dead. I told them to trim around the edges only as I have a drip system and did not want them to step on it which they totally disregarded and did it anyway and now my plants look like they are dying. I trusted Leo but he is not to be trusted. He took my money and just left me high and dry. He cut down half of a tree that he said should be cut down as it would hit my fence but only did it halfway and said he would return but he never did. He left everything half done after he got some money from me. So disappointed in this man who I thought was honest. He is not to be trusted. My husband has had a stroke and being his caregiver I do not need to have any more stress that this has caused me. Now I have to find someone else to finish up his mess. He took out a dead miniature tree and was to replace it with another bush which he never returned to do."

" I had a great experience with Golden Coast Irrigation! They came out quickly after I called and diagnosed the problem with my sprinkler system right away. The technician was super friendly, explained everything in simple terms, and had all the parts he needed to fix it on the spot. Everything’s working perfectly now, and my lawn is thankful too! Definitely recommend them if you're looking for fast, reliable sprinkler repair without any hassle. "

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Tustin, 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.
