Lawn Aeration in Annapolis

Refresh your lawn with our aeration and seeding services. Aeration is a method that is used to compensate for the thatch buildup that accumulates throughout the year. It works by pulling small plugs of soil out of the ground throughout your entire yard. This creates holes in the thatch, allowing the necessary nutrients to reach the roots deep in the soil, helping your grass thrive. Since aeration provides the optimal conditions for grass seed germination, we always follow up with lawn seeding services.

Joe Amato
"Great Job Guys!!"

A long time customer of Blades of Green Lawn care, Great company very organized and well run. In addition to the great lawn service I have enjoyed over the years, I was contacted by the B.O.G. automated service alerting me of the arrival of the ZIKA mosquitos. I followed their advice and had both of my properties treated! Since the treatment I no longer have to fear getting a little head, or whatever this ZIKA thing causes.
