About This Adventure

Ding-Dong...Nobody's Home

  • It's okay if we miss you. Though it's more convenient to operate the irrigation test feature through the garage timer it's not necessary. We service unoccupied homes daily via the outside service box(purple lid in the flowerbed) We'll simply leave our notes at the door.

Monday-Thursday Villages, Lady Lake & Summerfield:

$99 Per Lawn January & February, $129 Per Lawn March & April(peak season) $99 May>>>. Please consider booking during the 10 months of off-peak season.

Access

Unfortunately we're UNABLE TO SERVICE VILLAS with gates & limited access to the back yard as our aerator requires a 50" throughway. We specialize in servicing grass but the less grass you have the more difficult it is to service. Our aerator requires space to operate and also has about 12" from the outer tire to the first aerator spoon. We've discontinued the small walk-behind aerator because it doesn't have the same weight & down-pressure required to pull adequate plugs. If access to your back yard is by concrete & a similar gate we're unfortunately unable to service that area as our machine will damage the concrete given how narrow the pathway is. Also, these gates are narrower than Verandas back yards with a grass throughway. !Description of image !Description of image

Hazards

*We're UNABLE to service lawns with an invisible buried dog fence.

Risks to know

**Comcast, Centurylink may or may not install new internet cables correctly. If you don't know if it was done right then it's impossible for us to know. They NEVER charge us or our customers for coming out to install a new cable because their original installer got lazy. I understand how losing internet is an inconvenience to you but the proper depth is all on their techs. It doesn't happen often but it does happen.

Disclaimer

Adam's Earth is not responsible for the incompetent work of other contractors.
Our trucks are stocked to replace a sprinkler that we accidentally break but please be prepared to call your prior landscaper in the event we discover shallow pipes. This is exceptionally rare in The Villages but it has happened.

Adam's Earth is also not responsible for existing broken sprinklers or pipes. This is partly why we operate your system before our machine enters onto the property. I've even identified broken sprinklers located in flowerbeds and was instantly asked- "Did you break that"? Contacting a plumber to fix something we accidentally broke without first allowing the damage to be rectified by Adam's Earth means their repair invoice is ultimately your responsibility. In the event we can't fix it we'll contact a more qualified professional to schedule a repair.

PLEASE ALLOW US TO RUN & MARK THE SPRINKLER HEADS WITH OUR TURF PAINT AS WE REQUEST NO FLAGS.

Accessing the lawn

Our most effective aerator machines require 50" access to the sides & back lawn. Please discuss this need with your adjoining neighbors prior to booking. It's unacceptable for us service providers to be required to deal with moody neighbors that frown on accessing side & back lawns by encroaching onto their property. That's something we refuse to contend with. Better yet is to forward our website to adjoining neighbors to ask if they also want their lawns aerated.


Thanks for reading this to the end! -Adam

Adventure Tips

Schedule in Spring or Fall

Aeration is most effective during spring or fall when grass is actively growing.

Water Thoroughly Beforehand

Ensure your lawn is moist prior to aeration to improve soil perforation.

Avoid Heavy Foot Traffic After Service

Keep people and pets off the lawn for at least 24 hours post-aeration.

Combine with Overseeding

Aeration pairs well with overseeding to promote new grass growth.
