Hi, I am a grad student at Penn State, looking to make a few extra bucks. I am offering leaf removal for $20-30. If you have a particularly large area, then we can talk about increasing the fee. If there is enough demand, I will offer snow removal service as well. That will generally cost around $25.

Lawns questions, answered by experts

No. Both processes are important for a healthy yard and work toward a similar goal, although dethatching serves a slightly different purpose. Making sure the thatch doesn’t grow too thick prevents other lawn problems, such as attracting pests if the plant decay layer gets too big. Aeration puts less strain on your lawn than dethatching, but both are of equal importance.

The best time to aerate a lawn is when there's plenty of moisture in the soil, which is the fall or spring seasons. However, keep in mind that lawn aeration isn't very effective when there has been a long period of heavy rain, as the excess water can potentially damage the lawn in the aeration process. Wait until your lawn is predominantly dry to start the aeration process to ensure best results.

Professional lawn care can increase your home’s value, as it beautifies your exterior and improves curb appeal. Potential buyers who pull up to a house that looks neat and clean will get a great first impression, and savvy buyers will know that a well-maintained exterior is probably indicative of proper care for other things, like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems. Ultimately, a lawn that’s professionally cared for can boost your home’s appearance and lead buyers to offer more for your house.

Water the lawn thoroughly, apply fertilizer, and overseed if necessary to promote healthy growth.

There are a few time periods or conditions during which you should avoid aerating your lawn. For example, do not aerate when the ground is frozen or waterlogged, as it can damage the soil structure and grass roots. Aerating during the peak of summer heat or drought is also not recommended since it can stress your grass further. It's best to wait for cooler, more favorable conditions. Finally, newly seeded lawns should not be aerated until the grass is well-established, usually at least one year after seeding.
