About

Stewart's expertise in lawn aeration and thatching has earned him a reputation for excellence. Aeration helps alleviate soil compaction, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the grassroots, promoting a stronger, healthier lawn. Thatching, the process of removing a dense mat of roots and grass clippings, ensures that your turf can access the nutrients, water, and pest control products it needs to thrive. Stewart is dedicated to the long-term sustainability of your lawn, offering spring and fall aeration, seeding, and fertilizing to maintain a lush, green yard year-round. With aerating and thatching performed regularly, lawns become more resilient to pests and disease while also benefiting from improved soil health.

Amazing guy- Stewart! Sincere, honest, not trying to make money. Came at once when i told about the condition of my new sod despite knowing that he had nothing to do for me. But cane and gave honest feedback and suggestion to come out of the mess my landscaper had created. World needs such people. God bless you!!

Have him do one of his treatment plans, We get many compliments on how beautiful ours is and that's because of him, I just mow it, he provides the treatment to grow it.

I contacted Stewart last October for the first time and he performed a Lawn Tune Up for me. It wasn't fancy or pricey but it did more for improving my lawn than I have been able to do for years. I contacted him again recently in March of 2024 and he provided the same service and I have no doubt I will get the same results. He is a rare business man in today's world. He doesn't try and up sell you. If you ask him what he recommends for your lawn he will give you an honest assessment. We need more Stewarts in the business world. He is my go to lawn care business from here on. I contacted Stewart September 2024 for what he suggested thatching and a lawn tune up. As always he recommends what he believes is the right solution for the lawn he is working with. I'm not worried about him suggesting the most expensive treatment to fatten his wallet. Every time he has treated the lawn the results have been most impressive. this treatment left the lawn looking terrible but from this sad looking lawn now the end result over the next month will have it looking better than ever. I have no doubt about that. You can't go wrong with his service.

Stewart contacts me quickly after I call him or enter my info and yard requirements on his website. He applied fertilizer, grass seed and a soil amendment after aerating my yard. Last year, my grass choked out the weeds after Stewart’s yard treatment. Money well spent! Thank You! Brad-Everett.

Stewart knows what the heck he is doing with PacNW grass. Last year, we only used him for the Spring full package, this year we have stayed faithful to the regimen. Our yard through the hot days of summer required less water after the aeration and wetting agent, and since the September deathmatch, oversees, aeration, fertilizer and soil amendment, it is going gangbusters. In a week we have gotten strong germination of the seed (yay rain) and the lawn is maintaining a lush thick turf. Thats not easy to Dubai tut h a big dog and a yard that was neglected the 10 years prior to us moving in. He is conscientious of the cost and helps me make the right decisions to keep an economical, organic, and lush yard!

My house was up for sale and Stuart came by gave meSome great consultative advice on things I could do to get my lawn looking good before the sale. He aerated the front help me fat a few areas, and lay down some of his special amendment which is going to make this Lawn pop. Stuart is always very professional, and he has extensive knowledge of what makes Lawn s work in the Pacific Northwest that is unparalleled to anyone else in the industry.I highly recommend Stuart and the air rating thatching company: great value, great company, great guy.

Had them out to thatch and aerate my yard. Stewart convinced me to wait till fall to thatch, as my wife runs a home daycare and the kids need a yard to play in this summer. He could have just taken the money and ran. Appreciate the honesty.

Really good guy. I used the contact form on his website and he called me later that day and came by. I had said I wanted aerating and thatching but with the small lawn that we have he suggested we get the new hand thatching tool that is really easy to use and not pay him to do it. He also gave us advice on lawn care. He aerated our yard that very same day. I really appreciate that he didnt try to oversell us on any products or services that we didnt need. He is very knowledgeable and willing to share that knowledge - for no extra charge. We are very pleased with his service and will be calling him back in the fall.

I really had high hopes for Stewart and his company doing work on aerating, seeding and soil modification after reading his site, watching videos and reading reviews. Unfortunately my experience has been horrible though and wouldnt recommend him. It started with filling out his form online for service, which I never heard back from so after a week I called the number and left a message thinking maybe the form had issues. Never got a return call, so another week decided to call again and left another message. Shortly after that message I received a text asking me to fill out the form for faster service. I did right away, texting back it was complete. 5 days later no call, text, email...nothing. Texted the number again that I hadnt heard anything and still nothing.... So with that customer service I would definitely recommend staying away. Its really sad, its so hard to find good quality yard help around here without people either being flakey or just doing a poor job. I mean Im trying go give you my business and cant get any sort of response over weeks and multiple tries? Chalk this up to another one of those horrible experiences with yard help sadly.

I called Aerating-Thatching Co on Saturday afternoon and Stewart came out next day to aerate/fertilize/seed my lawn for a reasonable price. He was very knowledge and gave me a lot of advice on how to take good care of my lawn. I am for sure I will be calling him next spring for the Spring Tuneup. Thank you Stewart!

Great service - and nice people - did a great job for our lawn and very knowledgeable - will have them back often to care for my lawn! So glad I found Stewart and his company.

January 22, 2017

Not sure what happened here - sent an email inquiry in March, scheduled an appointment via email for early April but the company never showed up or contacted me to reschedule. Each follow up request via email generated a response with a different excuse - new phone technology, waiting for other customers in the neighborhood -- finally received a curt email with no explanation saying the service would not be provided. Very odd experience all around.

I didnt know what I needed, and Stewart came by and didnt oversell. He was very honest in what I needed to get my lawn into great shape. He is obviously interested in developing renewal business and not just getting the most out of a 1 time visit. He was also on time and there was good communication for scheduling and letting me know the day of when he was coming by.

Lawn at the house I bought had been neglected for many years and was in over my head trying to fix it. Called Stewart and he knew exactly what to do. He was straight up with what was needed, never up-sold, worked fast, and was very reasonable. 4 weeks ago it was a total disaster and now the lawn looks amazing, really didnt think it could turn out this nice. Highly recommended

January 22, 2015

Scheduled aerating for a Saturday. He called and said hed be out in the next couple of hours. I said I might not be there but my husband would be. After disclosing I was gay, he was a no call no show for our appointment. After 2 hours I called and left a message. I finally get a call back and he said he was at my property but no one was home and he was unable to accommodate our lawn. I dont know if he ever even looked at the lawn. He said he knocked on the door but our dogs never barked and at least one of us was home the entire time. I asked him why he wouldnt have called me the moment he decided he couldnt aerate our lawn. To which he replied, Well, Im calling you now. Horrible customer service.

Stewart and the Aerating-Thatching Co. have been consistently reliable and very accommodating over a five year period the kicker is I am a very small client for Stewart yet he still provides unmatched service.

I have been using the Aerating Thatching Co. for 3 years and I am extremely happy with the service that they provide. Stewart Armour is a pro! He is very dedicated to helping the customer get the best looking lawn possible. He also makes recommendations on products (that he doesnt sell) to help keep your lawn looking awesome. His prices are fair, he is passionate about grass and I would refer him to anyone.

Stewart is a miracle worker. Our yard was full of moss and always very soggy. The grass looked horrible. Stewart explained we had a problem with the chemical balance in our soil and recommended a very economical treatment plan. He gave me a couple of tasks to do and a timeline of when to do them. It is now a few months later and our grass is thick and lush. The soggy mess is gone. He is coming back in the fall to de-thatch and get rid of the moss. Last week, I had a question about the lawn. I emailed my question and Stewart called me back quickly. Service and expertise are what you get with Stewart. We recommend him to everyone we know.

Stewart and his employees aerate our lawn once or twice a year. They are knowledgeable, skilled, and courteous. Full coverage of the lawn area as close to the perimeters as possible. I often get a lawn tip or two from Stewart with no up-sale pressure. I believe this is the fifth year of using his services. Ill have them come back again this fall. Always a thank-you for the employment upon their departure.

We had our lawn done in the spring and just recently for the fall. We have a number of evergreen trees in our backyard, which make having a nice lawn challenging. Our lawn has never looked better. We only have one smallish problem spot (related to very heavy tree cover), but its the smallest its even been. Stewart has always promptly responded to filling out the contact form on his website. He is super friendly and takes the time to talk to my toddler (who thinks all the equipment and activity is the best!).

I like a guy who can look at your lawn and knows immediately what to do. I was all set to thatch the bejiminey out of my lawn but he held me off and got me to wait until fall. He did do an aeration/seeding treatment (for less) in no time at all and set me up for work in August. Very credible guy; knows what hes doing. Hes going to be my lawn consultant from now on.

★★★★

Stuart was quickly to my place and got right down to business. He started looking over my lawn and made some immediate suggestions. While he got the aeration started quickly - which was my request and he agreed, he didnt push for anything additional, just made a few suggestions. Also, he took a video with my iphone making several of his recommendations available for download and review when the time comes. I think Ill be coming back to Stuarts service again when needed!

We had a very large lawn that had really been neglected for 20 years. After installing a new deck that overlooked our very tattered and ratty looking lawn, my wife wanted to install synthetic grass. She said the lawn was hopeless. I said lets get someone who comes well recommended and see if we can resurrect our lawn. We chose Stuart. My wife thinks what Stuart accomplished was a miracle. He thatched, aerated and seeded our lawn (with a fertilizer also). Our lawn is now lush, full and beautiful. I cant think Stuart enough -- he helped me avoid my wifes synthetic lawn prescription which would have cost us about $20,000!. He is the consummate professional -- prompt, timely and thorough in his explanation of what hes doing and why. We give Stuart our very highest recommendation.

Called them on during the week, and got a return call on Sat from Stewart saying he come out and aerate THAT DAY!!! Yay!!
