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>

Q: How do I break up hard dirt in my yard?

• <div><p>Break up hard dirt in your yard with popular methods such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-core-aeration.htm">core aeration</a> or manual aeration with a spade, mini excavator, or pitchfork. You can also alter your soil to keep it from compacting in the future. Adding compost, groundcover plants, or aeration granules&mdash;preferably made of organic materials&mdash;can also soften your ground and encourage water saturation.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of professional lawn maintenance?

• <div><p>Professionals bring industry knowledge, can spot potential problems early, and tailor maintenance like fertilizing and weeding to your lawn's specific needs.</p></div>

Q: What is the best grass seed for hard dirt?

• <div><p>Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-grass-will-grow-best-my-yard.htm">grass types</a> grow better than others on hard dirt. For example, hardy grass types like perennial ryegrass and Kentucky bluegrass will grow better on tough soil. Keep in mind that you should still consider your area&rsquo;s climate when deciding on a grass type.</p></div>

Q: Should I reseed my lawn after aerating it?

• <div><p>Reseeding your lawn can help eliminate thin or patchy portions of grass. If you&rsquo;re paying a professional to aerate your lawn, it&rsquo;ll cost you an additional $50 to $80 on average to reseed it in the same trip. Reseeding a lawn yourself can cost between $500 to $1,000, meaning you&rsquo;ll probably save time and money hiring a professional service. </p></div>

From the beginning, I have a sense the owner/operator is professional, low-key, knowledgeable, and prefers to work with nature rather than against it. He also tests the soil before treating it, using labs from one of state universities. He gives down-to-earth advice without being pushy. I also...

"Such a shame that a local business would end up being a scam. This is why people turn away from local companies. Juan Rivera provided us a scope of work to clean up our landscaping and add more stone where needed. Also was to reset the plastic edging that divides the grass from the stone. We agreed to estimate and he did not finished the project but definitely took all the money. Agreed to come out to finish the items he admitted in text were missed. Set a day and time and then never showed up. Has ghosted us since. Filed complaints with agencies. Considering next steps since I do not take kindly to taking money and not completing what was agreed upon. Scam artist for side."
