Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Maintenance
What lawn maintenance services do you offer?
Our lawn maintenance includes: weekly/bi-weekly mowing with professional equipment, precision edging along driveways and walkways, string trimming around obstacles, seasonal fertilization programs, weed control, overseeding, spring and fall cleanup, and leaf removal. We also offer one-time lawn overhauls for properties that need intensive restoration. One company handles all your property's needs - trees, stumps, lawn, and snow.
How much does lawn maintenance cost?
Weekly lawn mowing for average residential properties (up to ½ acre) typically ranges $45-$75 per visit. Bi-weekly service is slightly higher per visit ($60-$90) due to more growth between cuts. Seasonal fertilization programs range $200-$500 depending on lawn size and program intensity. We provide free estimates and offer discounts for prepaying seasonal service. Commercial properties are quoted based on specific requirements.
Do you offer seasonal lawn care packages?
Yes - our seasonal packages provide comprehensive care at better value than individual services. Spring packages include cleanup, dethatching if needed, first fertilizer application, and early mowing. Summer packages include regular mowing, weed control, and mid-season fertilization. Fall packages include leaf removal, final mow, winterizer fertilizer, and bed cleanup. Custom packages available based on your lawn's specific needs.
How often should my lawn be mowed?
During Michigan's peak growing season (May-August), weekly mowing is ideal to maintain proper grass height without stressing the lawn. Never remove more than ⅓ of the blade height in a single mow. In spring and fall when growth slows, bi-weekly service may suffice. We adjust schedules based on your grass type, weather conditions, and growth rate to keep your lawn at optimal height (typically 2.5-3.5 inches for cool-season grasses).
What makes your lawn service different from other companies?
Three key differences: First, we're a full-service company - we handle trees, stumps, lawn, and snow, so you deal with one trusted provider instead of juggling multiple services. Second, 20+ years of local experience means we understand Michigan grass, soil, and weather patterns. Third, consistent quality - same crew, same day, same high standards every visit. We don't just mow; we maintain your property professionally.
