What causes lawn depressions?

• <div>Many factors can cause your yard to have lawn depressions. Here are the most common reasons: <ul><li>Heavy rainfall </li><li>Wild animals such as moles, voles, and groundhogs that burrow and tunnel</li><li>Poor drainage</li><li>Buried items such as pipes that break down</li><li>Decaying tree roots or stumps</li><li>Soil that has compacted</li><li>Improper mowing techniques</li><li>Driving heavy equipment and vehicles through the yard</li></ul></div>

Should I water the lawn after aeration?

• <div>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.</div>

The price is based on the size of your yard and the extent of the yard work requested. Our experience with them has gone extremely well. They take every effort to maintain the integrity of the yard and will even wait a day to come out if it's rained or the yard is too wet.
