Will aeration level your lawn?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/aeration-to-level-lawn.htm">Aeration can level your lawn</a> if the issue is minor soil compaction, so it can help smooth things out if your yard is bumpy from foot traffic or vehicle traffic. However, it won’t slope your yard. If you have small areas where water seems to pool after precipitation, aeration could help, but larger issues with improperly sloped lawns and problems leading to foundation leaks or structural damage will require more comprehensive solutions.</p></div>

Q: How do pros achieve effective aeration during clean-ups?

• <div><p>Using specialized equipment, they aerate thoroughly, alleviating compaction and enhancing root health.</p></div>

Q: When should you not aerate your lawn?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is needed after lawn dethatching?

• <div><p>Post-dethatching, lawn recovery includes watering, fertilizing, and reseeding as necessary to restore health and promote growth.</p></div>

Q: What benefits does professional aeration offer over doing it myself?

• <div><p>Pros provide deep, even aeration with machinery inaccessible to the DIY homeowner.</p></div>

Daniel and his crew did an excellent job. They were very professional and courteous. Several trenches were dug but the job site was cleaned and restore back to the original shape as much as possible. The system works perfectly. I highly recommend T-Squared for irrigation systems.

Jay's Tree Service used a Spider Lift to remove a large tree located, in a difficult place to reach, in my back yard. They protected the turf with mats that the lift could travel over as it moved across the lawn. No damage was done to my lawn. They cleaned up all of the debris before leaving....

Excellent job. They mow the lawn in different directions each time (diagonal one time, back and forth the next) which is a good thing. They have been doing my lawn mowing and gutter cleaning/repairs for several years.
