Use to use another well known franchise lawn service. No comparison to Allen’s. Old company wanted to treat are yard for fungus. Called Allen’s and they said it was too late in the year and would be wasting my money. Now days you don’t find that kind of honesty. Also half the cost due to over treatment that wasn’t needed. Won’t find a better lawn service in this area of central iowa

News

Over time, soil becomes compacted, making it difficult for water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach your grass roots. Core aeration helps relieve compaction and promotes healthier, stronger turf.

Benefits of aeration include: ✔ Improved root growth
✔ Better nutrient absorption
✔ Reduced soil compaction
✔ Stronger lawn performance

Fall is one of the best times to aerate your lawn and prepare it for long-term success.

Contact Allen Lawn Care & Landscaping to schedule your aeration service today.
