When is the best time of year to fix lawn depressions?

• <div><p>It’s best to fix lawn depressions <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/spring-lawn-care-and-landscaping-tips.htm">during late spring</a>. You want to wait until after your last frost date and when the yard is not too wet. This also allows ample time for new grass growth once you reseed. </p></div>

What causes lawn depressions?

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

What is the best lawn aeration method?

• <div><p>While your lawn will reap the benefits of core aeration faster than liquid aeration, the liquid solution will last longer and have more cumulative effects. If your lawn is in really bad shape, try both. By creating holes in the soil with the core aerator, you’ll make it easier for your lawn to absorb the liquid aerator solution. You might have to apply the liquid aerator several times during the growing season, but again, the positive results will be more cumulative than with core aeration on its own.</p></div>

Robin and Jeff do an excellent job. As I work out of town and can't be there when they mow, they take special care with my new puppy making sure they don't scare her while working. They have been great and I highly recommend them!

On April 9, 2008 Kuiper Yard Service came out to my property, at my request, to give me an estimate to do a spring cleanup of the lawn and landscape areas. I thought the price was not low, but reasonable, so I told them they could do the work. They said they were getting their equipment repaired...
