Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
You can calculate square footage by measuring the length and width of the lawn sections and multiplying them. For irregular shapes, break them down into smaller, simpler geometric figures. Online mapping tools with measurement features can also be very helpful for estimates.
Core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil, is generally more effective and is the most common professional method. Spike aeration, which just pokes holes, is less effective. Pricing typically reflects the more labor-intensive and beneficial core aeration, which requires specialized equipment.
Yes, absolutely. Equipment depreciation, fuel, and maintenance are operational costs that should be factored into your pricing. Neglecting these can erode your profit margins over time, especially with specialized aeration machinery.
In Marietta, GA, lawns are typically aerated once a year, usually in the fall for cool-season grasses or late spring/early summer for warm-season grasses. High-traffic lawns or those with very compacted soil may benefit from more frequent aeration.
Common upsell opportunities include overseeding immediately after aeration, fertilization, topdressing with compost, and general lawn assessments that could lead to other services like weed control, pest treatment, or sprinkler system checks.
