Is it worth renting an aerator to aerate 2-4 properties? How much do you all charge per 1000 to aerate and seed?

How about: 1) mow low-ish, then 2) throw down seed, then 3) aerate? It’s not likely that seeds would fall into core holes anyway, but this process would 100% prevent that. And rolling the aerator over the lawn and pulling cores to the top would increase seed-to-soil contact. Especially once...

Hello everyone, I’ve been on lawnsite for a few months now obtaining great information but this is the first post I’m creating. I’m a solo operator with about 40 residential customers. First, I need some help on how companies separate their season. For example, 1 spring start-up, 2 weekly lawn...

Hello all, I have been surfing the site for awhile now and figured I would ask a question I can’t find an answer to. I am working on my own lawn (previous landscaper in life) that we just put in a couple of years ago after we built our house. I have decent grass but not great as my soil is...

I am selling my Turfco XT5 Aerator $2000 obo. This thing is a great machine and has made me tens of thousands of dollars. The only reason I am selling it is because I moved up to a ride on aerator so that I can do my larger properties faster. I'm sure most of you guys have heard of these if not...

This Z-Plug has 180 hours. I just do not use it very much. I am the original owner. Asking $5200.00 It can aerate as fast as you can drive it. It can make you $$$.

Okay here goes. I have a pretty large front yard (2 acres) - The yard was first established in 1979. Since I bought it 10 years ago, there really had been no real effort to make the grass look nice, make greener, thicker, get rid of weeds, etc... But I need to change this. I keep a nice clean...

I am looking to see if any of you guys have any photos of how a lawn normally looks after this process. We have had quite a bit of rain recently and I am thinking of going through this process on a high traffic area, but if it is too damaging than I will have to hold off until the fall. We...

Hello, I am looking into renting an aerator and offering aeration to my clients this year. Will someone with experience please explain to me the do's and don'ts of aerating with a pull behind aerator? Will backing up hurt the lawn/machine, will turning to sharp hurt anything, etc... Also, What...

Hi folks, Last year was my first year, had some good success, can't wait to build on it this year. I bought an aerator last year, and it arrived around March 10th. I was behind the other companies in the area, but it worked out fine. My question is, how do you calculate when its ok to aerate...

What would a good price be for aerating yards that are 2-5k square feet.

Hello All, I've been renovating my house for the last few years and I'm planning on finishing this winter and hopefully putting it on the market during the spring/summer. I have a lot of oak trees in my yard, which is great for shade but sucks come fall time. Most of my Saturdays are spent...

As we started Aerationing last week here in Alabama, we use 2 Ryan Walk Behind aerators. This is my First year of actually aerating (we have been doing aerating for years, I've never actually done it) and man it takes a lot out of you. Plus it's just like push Mowing every yard..... so I've been...

This is a question we often get asked and have to explain to our local Kansas City metro based customers, we even took time to write an entire blog post solely on it back in 2011- https://www.heritagelawnskc.com/blog/aerating-vs-verticutting/. Anyways we are thinking of updating it and would...

I'm looking to start a lawn aeration business in March. I'm wondering what the best stand-on aerator is. My options are Toro, exmark, and Classen I believe. And Toro and exmark are essentially the same machine. I'm looking to buy used. I come from a golf course that used exclusively Toro...

Hello, Getting ready to start Aerating and over-seeding soon and I have a couple questions. - Would it be a good idea to put down some Iron before or after aerating? - If I top dress with a layer of Compost, should I skip the starter fert ? (Don't want to risk over fertilizing) - Would it be...

OK, so this is a silly and stupid series of questions. As we know it is mid september and many clients are wanting to overseed and aerate. I have been flooded by many newer clients wanting this, but I have never actually done it for money as I have stuck more to basic basic lawn care (mow, edge...

Hi, I am putting my business up for sale and I have a few questions regarding the pending sale. I understand the value associated with lawn care packages (weed control, fertilizing, etc) and that in order to easily sell your business you must have contracts in place. My question regards...
