"Michael Did a fabulous job. More importantly he was friendly, knowledgeable, and respectful of me, my home, my time, and my money. Prices quoted were great, and he was efficient in his work. I will definitely be using him for my lawn care for the rest of the season and will probably plan some actual landscaping for next spring."

"He had performed some work for me in the past after the first job I had asked him to come do the roofing and repair work for me in the future but I wasn’t in a hurry. He did great work for me previously and I enjoyed working with him. I asked him how long it would take for him to get a crew together, he stated about a month. I had decided to wait until he was ready; again I wasn’t in a hurry. But after about two months or so it seemed as if he dropped off the earth! I called him again then because the season was moving on and it was getting very warm soon. When I did get a hold of him, he apologized stating that he must have misplaced the informational sheet. He was very polite on the phone, and he was pleased to here from me as if he had actually forgotten that we were planning on the roofing work. I did enjoy working with previously him but I believe he may need to be a bit more organized."

"The price depends on the size of the property.  When they come out, they send the whole crew.  They send large 2 or 3 industrial mowers going at once plus a couple of guys with the wired trimmers.  They trim the edges and they sweep up after themselves; but it takes it half an hour.  We have used them for many years.  The price is fair.  Sometimes, they are quite busy and it might take them for a couple of days."

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Roanoke, VA

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.
