Q: How do you prepare your lawn for core aeration?

• <div><p>To prepare your lawn for core aeration, water it the day before you aerate. (Alternatively, you can wait until it rains and aerate the following day.) Aerating after watering or a rainy day will make the process easier since you can penetrate moist soil better than dry soil. You should also flag your sprinklers so that you don&rsquo;t accidentally hit them while aerating. If you have a lot of thatch buildup in your yard, you might need to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-dethatch-your-lawn.htm">dethatch your lawn</a> before aerating as well.</p></div>

Q: Why hire professionals for yard waste removal?

• <div><p>Hiring professionals ensures efficient and responsible yard waste removal, protecting property aesthetics and ensuring regulatory compliance. They manage disposal or recycling effectively, reducing the homeowner&rsquo;s burden of handling heavy or bulky materials.</p></div>

Q: What does land clearing consist of?

• <div><p>A land-clearing project begins with assessing and preparing the property and pulling any necessary permits with your municipal building department. Clearing can begin after the project details are ironed out between you and your pro and a written contract is signed. Pros will bring out the necessary equipment and crew to first remove trees, stumps, brush, and vegetation. Your pro will then load up and haul away the project debris, and depending on the project, they may finish by grading the cleared land. </p></div>

Q: What is a good alternative to composting?

• <div><p>If composting feels too complicated, mulching is an effective alternative. While composting focuses on breaking down yard waste to feed the soil, mulching uses that same organic material as a protective top layer. It's a quick way to get value from leaves, grass clippings, and other yard debris without the time or effort composting requires.</p></div>

"Wow how lucky am I. Earth and Arbor did an excellent job. I would use this company again in a heartbeat. I received a call back the day I requested a quote and within twenty-four hours I had one. I accepted their quote and we agreed on a start date. Earth and Arbor by far exceeded my expectations. They did exactly what I asked for and then some in my opinion. They were on time, they returned all calls immediately and it seemed important to them that I was completely satisfied with their work.
