Cost to dethatch and aerate in Seattle Area
While it was a few years ago, and half a continent away, I remember paying
someone $25 Canadian to aerate my lawn in Toronto. Today, I got a quote from a local landscape guy for $600 to dethatch and aerate my lawn. Wow. Figuring that this would take maybe 4 hours, he's charging me $150 an hour! Is this the normal cost of such a simple task? Tru-Chem gave me a quote of $135 for an aeration and I I thought that was high I can rent the dethatching and aerating machines for $40/4 hours, so I now plan to do the work myself. I need to open up the soil so I can overseed this month, and time is running out. -- Jim Sullivan Don't plant your bad days, they turn into bad weeks, then bad months and before you know it, you've had a bad year. |
