"Mario and his team did an excellent job with cleaning, edging and mulching the beds around our house. They were very professional and the quality of their work was beyond my expectations. I would recommend them to anyone who needs any type of yard service."

"Amazingly well. Jeremy and the team at Cincinnati Lawn Service are fantastic. They have provided regular lawn maintenance (cutting, trimming, cleanup) and snow removal for me for the past two years. Simply put, they take care of all of my needs and go the extra mile as part of their "normal" services. Specifically, with snow removal, they include sidewalks and salting as part of the service - which I truly appreciate. They proactively recommend additional services without coming off too "sales-y" or aggressive. I don't know what I would do without the Cincinnati Lawn Service team!"

"I can't say enough great things about our experience with this company. It took quite a while to get started on the project (Covid and rain delays) but it was worth the wait. The professionalism and care of the entire team we worked with was great from start to finish. My husband requested a last minute change, and the foreman and designer arranged to meet with him and find a solution for his request, resolving the concern with no time lost in the project. The workers were diligent and cleaned up after themselves every day. We have more work planned for the backyard and we will definitely be using Werbrich's again."

"The service has been very good. The owner came out right after I called them. He looked over the yard. He had someone out in a day or so to cut the grass. They are very pleasant and do a very good job. I have been happy with their service so far."

"This was the first time I hired a company to prune my maturing trees; my main request was to thin them out so as to minimize any potential damage from wind or ice. The three man crew consisted of the owner/supervisor, the trimmer who climbed the trees and did the actual pruning work, and a third person who stayed on the ground to watch the trimmer and to pickup/cleanup the debris. The crew arrived on time and worked the entire six hours per the job description. The owner/supervisor offered advice on taking care of all the trees on my property as well as recommendations to consider removing two trees that were starting to show some distress. He indicated I would not need any additional pruning services for about five years, which I was pleased to hear."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Wilmington, OH

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.
