"I would give them minus stars if possible. They installed the irrigation system at the newly built home I purchased. I then continued with them to activate and winterize the system for 2-3 years. The office person is by far the rudest person I have ever encountered. Every time you call .. The first question asked is ;did you pay for the service Makes you want to say well no, of course not, I expect you to do it for free. I prepaid every year, but somehow my system never got activated until I called and complained that my new sod was looking bad .. Then I always had to prove I had paid and listen to their excuses. Last year the owner even had the nerve to tell me the system was on and running but I was too stupid to know it!! But then had no explanation or apology when I proved the control for the system was in the "OFF" position. I was charged $75.00 each for two visits last summer when I asked if the system needed to be set differently. The first time the owner was in the area and stopped for all of 5 minutes and argued with me about what I wanted done. The second time he did not even stop and check the system but charged for a service call anyway. I have a another company doing my service this year, they are friendly explanation, polite and do a stellar job. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy!"

I specialize in lawn care. I have years of experience. I started mowing when I was 5 years old. I finally got my own business this year. I charge a reasonable price. I am also different than most services because I like to come look and then give you an estimate.

Lawns questions, answered by experts

If you have a beautifully thriving yard with no bald spots, you can choose to aerate your yard once every two years. Otherwise, having your lawn aerated at least once a year is recommended. And in those circumstances where you have a significant amount of thatch buildup or a thinning and bald yard, it's best to aerate twice a year to maintain a healthy lawn.

Generally once yearly or twice if the lawn experiences high traffic or is part of heavy clay soils.

You can try that, but it isn't likely to yield results. It's like watering potted plants without putting the seeds in. Most of the tossed grass seeds sit on top of the soil or existing grass blades and never germinate. The seeds need to make it into the soil, just like growing a potted plant. The best way to accomplish this is to aerate your lawn first, then overseed.

Adding seed to existing grass is often known as overseeding, as opposed to reseeding. Reseeding refers to the process of filling in bare or dying patches of lawn—or in some cases, full lawns—whereas reseeding supports existing lawns to prevent thinning. Overseeding is an ideal annual lawn care practice for grass fighting drought, disease, weeds, or pest issues.

Each type of grass has its own specific needs regarding the timing of aeration, but in general, late summer to early fall is the best time to do so. For most lawns, that means sometime between September and November, though certain types of grass, like St. Augustine Grass, do better with aerations in late spring and early summer.
