Should I water the lawn after aeration?

• <div><p>Yes, you should water the lawn after aerating. Now that you’ve loosened up the soil to better receive nutrients, it’s time to hydrate and fertilize your lawn. You’ll want to keep it evenly moist to promote healthy growth. Don’t drown your grass—too much of a good thing can reverse all the work you’ve done with aeration in the first place. But especially if you’ve overseeded and/or fertilized after aeration, you’ll want to ensure a moist soil layer to absorb those nutrients and fuel for new growth.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed after lawn dethatching?

• <div><p>Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.</p></div>

Q: Should I aerate before power seeding?

• <div><p>Power seeding machines do a great job of creating narrow trenches in the soil to plant grass seeds into, but aerating before power seeding can be beneficial for your lawn. By aerating first, more water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide can reach the roots of your germinating grass seeds. Plan to aerate your lawn about once or twice a year, whether you plan to power seed or not.</p></div>

Q: Why is my Bermuda grass so thin?

• <div><p>There are several possible reasons why your Bermuda grass is not thick, with the biggest reasons being too little water, too much shade, compacted soil, drainage issues, and too few nutrients in the soil. Bermuda grass needs frequent and direct sunlight to stay thick, so thinning grass is likely the result of a lack of sun. </p></div>

Q: Is plug aeration better than liquid aeration?

• <div><p>Plug aeration is more effective than spike aeration, although it mars the appearance of your lawn until the plugs decompose. This can take a few weeks and some homeowners find it distressing, especially if they are planning an event and can't have guests stepping on the soil cores. Liquid aeration is just as effective without having to bore holes.</p></div>

Angus was knowledgeable, did a thorough comprehensive breakdown of the project before anything was agreed to, which I appreciated. The work was impeccable and done quickly. The pricing was honest and fair. Couldn't ask for more.

This fence has been a gamechanger. We will feel secure knowing our puppy is safe exploring in the yard and won't be running after cars or people going by.

They did a great job on my lawn. It took awhile for them to finish due to the rain, but they told me that up front. Very Friendly and helpful.

I sent a request for an estimate for lawn mowing and care and I received an email asking for my address. After supplying them with my address nothing happened. I never saw them or heard from them again. No one called or emailed again, so I didn't use them.

Tom arrived to do an estimate when he said he would and he was polite and professional. He made it clear that he might not get to my job for weeks because of a backlog of work. I was fine with that. He didn't give me a specific date when the tree would be cut down. In fact, he just showed up one...

"Titan did a magnificent job on my property during the past week. I needed the following done: Grading work on my 3 acre property and three different types of rocks delivered. I also needed additional black dirt brought in to make it perfect. From start to finish the communication was excellent with Will. He let me know what time they would get to my job and everything that was going on during the work process. This is something that a lot of contractors just fail to do in my past experiences. They provide top notch equipment, with many different attachments for various types of jobs during the entire process. This ensures that the job is done correctly, the first time! Lastly, customer service could not be better. They (Will and Tim) stayed with the job until I was completely satisfied. Always keeping a great attitude no matter how many questions I asked. Even going the extra nine yards finishing the job better than I expected. "
