Is it worth aerating a lawn?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s worth aerating a lawn. Even the most diligent mowing, watering, and fertilizing schedule is not enough if the roots are not able to benefit from the care and nutrients you’re giving them. Even a lawn that’s already healthy can benefit from aeration because the more air that circulates around the roots, the stronger and healthier it will grow. </p></div>

Q: What happens if you don't aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>When you don&rsquo;t aerate your lawn, the soil will become more compact over time. This limits how much water can soak in to reach the roots of your grass, and it keeps oxygen and carbon dioxide from the plant roots. This can limit grass growth, which may sound great for limiting mowing, but it also leads to a lawn full of grass that looks dull and sparse. Eventually, compacted soil can weaken grass, while also making it more vulnerable to pests, diseases, and erosion and even causing it to die off.</p></div>

Q: What time savings can I expect from hiring a professional lawn care service?

• <div><p>You free up your weekends, as pros often conduct mowing and maintenance efficiently and without disrupting your schedule.</p></div>

Q: How often should I aerate my lawn?

• <div><p>Experts recommend aerating a lawn at least once a year. If you haven&rsquo;t aerated your lawn recently, or if it has a significant amount of thatch buildup, you may need to aerate it twice annually for a few years. Keeping up with a regular aeration schedule helps ensure the long-term health of your yard. </p></div>

Q: Should I mow before or after aeration?

• <div><p>Mow before aeration. After you've aerated the lawn, you can fertilize, water, and overseed. But wait at least two weeks after aeration before you mow.</p></div>

TruGreen came out to analyze our lawn and made valid suggestions to help with the amount of pervasive weeds that have built up over the years. It has taken a few visits to notice the difference, but our lawn is starting to look great!

He's a very laid back honest person. The service went really well. The lawn looks 100% better. He's done a really good job. He was on time and comes back once a month, if there are any problems he lets us know.

They came & gave us an estimate, started the work, & then came back out & re-quoted an estimate of $3,500 more. They came out & tore out the wood from our roof, threw it on the lawn, broke some of my bushes, & left some dirt on the windows & one part of my siding.
