How long does it take to aerate a lawn?

• <div><p>The length of time it takes to aerate a lawn mostly depends on the yard's size. Generally, a lawn care professional can aerate a lawn that is 10,000 square feet in size in about <b>30 to 45 minutes</b>. This process may take additional time if you have a heavily sloped or uneven yard, and it may cost extra for the lawn care pro’s labor and time.</p></div>

Can I reseed over dead grass?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/reseeding-and-repairing-lawn.htm">reseed a rundown lawn</a> with dead grass, but first, you should remove all of the dead parts and test the soil. Doing this will help you understand what’s killing your lawn so that you can fix it and prevent it from ruining your new grass. Once you’ve made the appropriate adjustments, you can rake, fertilize, and reseed.</p></div>

Do grass pavers require a lot of maintenance?

• <div><p>No, grass pavers don’t require a lot of maintenance. However, you’ll need to keep the grass in between the pavers trimmed down just like you would with your lawn.</p></div>

How do you soften hard soil for grass seed?

• <div><p>One of the best ways to soften your grass and prepare it for planting grass seed is aeration. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-aeration-key-healthy-green-lawn.htm">Aerating your lawn</a> will loosen up compacted soil and facilitate a more even balance of nutrients from root to topsoil. We recommend using core aeration methods for the most effective soil-loosening results.</p></div>

Q: Can I dethatch and aerate my lawn at the same time?

• <div><p>While dethatching first often makes the aeration process faster and easier, both actions can be done on the same day. Aeration can also loosen up the thatch, even if you have a harder time aerating the soil because the thatch got too thick. Because both dethatching and aeration have the common goal of making it easier for the soil to get water and nutrients, it&rsquo;s safe and possible to do both at the same time.</p></div>

Q: Do grass pavers require a lot of maintenance?

• <div><p>No, grass pavers don&rsquo;t require a lot of maintenance. However, you&rsquo;ll need to keep the grass in between the pavers trimmed down just like you would with your lawn.</p></div>

The service exceeded my expectations in every way. I couldnâ t recognize the lawn after the company completed the work. The lawn was a total mess with over grown ivy everywhere In addition to numerous weeds that hid fencing that I didnâ t know was even there.

The company makes a moss control product but will not apply it to my lawn. Instead they make excuses as to why not. They totally ignored my weed problem.

It was great. They did very good. I use them year round. They do all my lawn care and all my snow removal. They trim the shrubs. They just do everything. I've had them for 12 years. They usually come once a week. The workers are great. Mowing for me is $52, including the tax. That's trimming,...

I have used DTELC for several years now. If you pre-pay for the entire year, you save some money. If I were to purchase fertilizer and apply it myself, the cost would be the same. I tried that for years with limited success until I hired DTELC. The weeds are gone from my lawn. Money well spent.

Mr. Meehan rescued my lawn after the home builder left my property and "so called seeding" in a mess of weeds and poor quality grass. I now have a nice lawn because of the efforts of Meehan Turf Care.
