"The pro has been servicing our Mclean property quite well for a couple of years. Our lawn looks good and we are satisfied with the service. The customer service is sometimes underwhelming but it gets the job done at a reasonable cost which is really becoming harder by the day to get."

"This was a multi-faceted project and went very well with just a few minor issues. While I had a very detailed graph paper drawing of what I wanted, I failed to put a start date in the contract. So, starting was a bit later than I wanted. But, once it did, things went smoothly. The crew was very courteous & arrived in a timely manner each day. They did a beautiful job. When I had issues, they were immediately addressed. The owner showed up every day to see how things were going. My only problem was that the grass seed they used had an inordinate amount of weeds in it. I did not complain to the company about it because reseeding wasn't even in the contract. But, mostly because the rest of the job was so gorgeous. And, I could deal with the lawn myself. All in all, a beautiful job. Would highly recommend them."

"Overall, I was very pleased with the results of this project. The crew was excellent and hardworking. I can't comment on the price because I didn't get another estimate. However, I felt that the price was fair for the amount of work that was done. I expect to be using this company regularly in the future."

"When I realized the services were not being performed 1/2 thru the summer, I contacted the owner who to date, I had given a lot of business to at my previously purchased home. He was initially gracious and accepted accountability for an oversight. We agreed on compensation for portion of work that had not been completed and stated the remainder of work would be completed on timely basis. At the end of the year, the work was still not completed as agreed and paid for. I contacted the owner once again and requested a refund. He agreed to a refund but, I have not heard from him since. I was going 2 let it go but have come to realize the severe disappointment. As stated, I had given EastSide Lawn a lot of business and the lack of respect is eye opening."

"They completely destroyed part of my backyard by running through a deeply watered soaked part of my lawn from all of the rain. They said nothing to me about it and have not offered to fix it either. For the entire summer, they have not been able to cut that grass so it's growing like a jungle. My backyard has never looked so horrible!"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Wauwatosa, WI

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.
