Will aeration help a bumpy lawn?

• <div><p>If your lawn has some lumps and bumps, yes, aeration can help—although it may also be beneficial to take on other steps, like irrigation, fertilization, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/aerator-vs-dethatcher.htm">dethatching</a> (also known as scarifying). You can also use a power rake to physically break up the bumps in your lawn, which can help you achieve a more even look.</p></div>

Q: Why is my grass dying?

• <div><p>The grass could be dying because it&rsquo;s overwatered or underwater. Additional issues include over-mowing the lawn, compacted soil, or a fungal disease in the lawn. In many instances, regular maintenance can keep grass from dying.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs that my lawn needs aeration?

• <div><p>Several signs indicate that your lawn may require aeration. If you notice water pooling or runoff after rainfall, it suggests poor water infiltration, and aeration could help. Compacted soil may cause grass to thin out, turn yellow, or struggle to grow. Additionally, the presence of a thatch layer, which is a buildup of dead grass and debris, can indicate aeration is needed to alleviate thatch and promote healthier grass growth. Monitoring these signs can help you determine when your lawn would benefit from aeration.</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>

Q: Is it worth it to hire a lawn service?

• <div><p>Hiring a lawn service company can free up your schedule for other tasks and ensure high-quality results. However, doing some of the maintenance yourself can reduce your monthly costs. Another factor to consider if it's worth it is whether you already own lawn equipment and tools you will need to keep your yard looking lush. Ultimately, it depends on your budget, schedule, and the type of tasks you need to complete. </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."
