Can anyone recommend a company that they have used for lawn Areation in the Hammond - Covington area?If I can't find someone, I'll try to do it myself.

If I do it myself, any recommendations on what machine (brand) is better to rent and use?

TIA

There's 1 person in Covington that was advertising on FB market. I got quotes of $500 for the Nola area. A guy that quoted me has down some lawns for me before and I'm pretty sure he doesn't have an aerator. I assume he was going to go rent the same one I will. Going to rent the machine from Home Depot for $60 or whatever. There's YouTube videos on the model and it seems fairly easy.

I used Southern Topdressing last year to aerate, spread sand, and level it in. I was pleased with their work.

That looks like the people I have been needing to find.

Do you know how much it was? I have about 2,000 sq foot I would like to do and have been seeing their advertising.

I had a guy quote me a couple years ago $1,600 which I thought was nuts but that's the only quote I've ever gotten.

Have that wallet ready. They will not be the cheapest by any margin. Ive rented from AAA and Home Depot in the past. Just can’t justify ST.

Connor with Southern Topdressing did a spectacular job for me with very reasonable prices.

My neighbor and I rented a machine from Home Depot one year. It is much harder work than you’d expect, especially when you’ve never done it before. I won’t do it again.

Agreed. I think he knows he has sort of a niche business and charges accordingly.

I rented one from HD and it’s definitely a workout. Using the machine wasn’t bad but I don’t have a trailer so loading it in the truck you need help. Made a world of difference in the lawn. I also spread some peat moss in the bare anreas and it’s filling in nicely.
