"My husband and I worked with Four Brothers Landscaping to complete a front, back, and side yard landscaping project in September 2021. Antonio - who runs the company and was our main point of contact - was absolutely wonderful to work with. He arrived on time for every appointment, communicated throughout every step of the project, navigated the tight timelines and complicated project flow we were working with (we were working against installation schedules for fencing and irrigation, and a massive chimney masonry project that popped up in the middle of the landscaping one), and made such helpful suggestions along the way. The crew was fantastic - so friendly, meticulous, quick, and left the workspace immaculate at the end of each day. Antonio's wife, who oversees a majority of the operations, was so wonderful to work with as well. It truly is a family operation run by honest, hard working people. Prior to connecting with Antonio for the project, we met with three other landscapers who either over complicated the details, or never followed up after our initial meeting. We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Four Brothers Landscaping as they completely transformed our property and went above and beyond in every aspect of the job. We enjoyed working with them so much and hope to have more projects with them in the future. Highly recommend!"

Lawn care aerations FAQs
Aeration is the best way to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant. Annual aeration makes your lawn more breathable and helps nutrients reach the roots, improving water absorption and reducing puddles where pests might breed. However, timing matters. It's best to avoid aerating during droughts, extreme heat, or if your lawn is battling weeds. A local pro can help you determine the ideal time for your yard.
Most lawns benefit from annual aeration to keep them healthy and thriving. If your lawn has a lot of thatch buildup—more than half an inch—you might need to aerate twice a year for a couple of years to get it under control. But if your soil isn't compacted and there's minimal thatch, you might be able to skip a year.
When you hire a professional lawn care company, a standard 10,000-square-foot lawn takes about 30 minutes to aerate. Uneven, sloped, or especially large lawns can take significantly more time. So, depending on your lawn's size and condition, the process can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours.
The best time to aerate your lawn is during the spring or fall when your grass is actively growing and the soil has enough moisture. Aerating once in the spring and once in the fall yields the best results. Avoid aerating when your lawn is dormant or right after heavy rain when the soil is too wet—that can make aeration less effective.
Even if your lawn looks healthy, aeration can still be beneficial. If you have good growth, proper drainage, and little thatch, you might not need to aerate right away. Regular aeration helps water and nutrients reach the roots, keeping your lawn strong over time. Keep an eye on your lawn's condition to decide when it might need aeration.
