"I reached out to G&G for a mulch job at my house. Within the day, I was contacted and scheduled the job for that week. When the crew arrived they were extremely professional and did a phenomenal job. This company truly goes the extra mile and cares about the service they provide. The work was done timely, but not rushed. The owner was honest and walked me through the process from start to finish. I was very pleased with the way my yard looks. I would highly recommend this company for any future landscaping projects."

"This was a great experience for tree removal. Jay came to our house and walked us through which trees and why they needed to be removed and while not the cheapest quote we received he was the most thorough and had the best customer service. We would use Chameleon Property service again for any lawn or tree project that we have."

"company did not, in my opinion, provide quality service. the owner was very pleasant to speak with when i hired him back in the fall, assured me all would go smoothly and i would be taken care of. he unfortunately, fell short. idk if it was he himself, or an employee doing the actual plowing, but the width of my driveway was not completely plowed, nor was the snow piled in front of my garage, cleared away. also, the plow dug too deep at the end of the driveway, and a portion of my lawn was dug up with the snow. it is true that i removed the stakes  from my lawn, not expecting snow in april after such a quiet winter. however, he could have used the shovel i saw he had in his truck (that he used to clear some snow near grass where the plow wasn't taken), to clear away some of the snow and guide him to the perimeter of my driveway. <br />"

"<blockquote> <p>When I initially called Erno Enterprises on a wednesday, Dale returned my call the same day. We played phone tag for the next couple of days (my fault) but when he called to arrange an appointment on Friday he arrived on time. He listened to what I had to say and he answered my many questions. He said that he would probably do the job the following Thursday but that he would need to look at his schedule and the other jobs he had going. I asked if he could let me know when, he said that he doesn't usually call back but that he would try. When I arrived home from work on Monday I was pleasantly surprised to see his equipment and crew working on my lawn. Sure enough he did leave a message on my answering machine that he was coming.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Monday afternoon he removed the old sod and hauled several truckloads away. That evening new topsoil was delivered. Tuesday the topsoil was spread and raked. Wednesday I had someone working on my sprinkler system who noticed a and quot;low spotand quot; in a small area and pointed it out to me. I wouldn't have notice it. I left a voice mail to Dale in case I wasn't home when he did the hydroseeding. On Thursday he arrived and checked out the low area as well as the entire lawn. He then reraked the low spot and didn't seem offended that I mentioned it. <br /> <br /> I had some questions regarding my sprinkler system which I know had nothing to do with his job. He and his helper nicely went out of their way and time to explain and demonstrate to me what I needed to know. The hydroseed was applied Thursday afternoon and looks terrific. Dale and is crew are neat and clean up things well. I was given instructions in caring for my lovely new lawn. He was very patient and professional with my many questions and he takes pride in his work. My next door neighbor is going to hire him as well after seeing the nice job he did for me. I have no hesitation in giving him high marks. </p> </blockquote> <br />"

"Our yard was in horrific condition after years of tenant neglect. We mainly had sand a few seasons worth of leaves. Chris was very professional, returned my calls and texts promptly, and gave us a great price to get the yard cleaned up. After the leaves were gone, he scheduled hydroseeding on our behalf and gave me specific instructions for maintaining the lawn (watering, fertilizing) until it was at a height that he could mow. Chris stayed in touch regularly and kept up wth status updates. When the lawn was ready to be mowed regularly, he gave us a fair quote and has consistently done a terrific job. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate Chris and his company helping bring our outdoors back to life and provide a great yard for our daughter to play in. You won't regret using Pavilion! (The cost info is for our initial cleanup.)"

FAQs for lawn care aeration projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
