Turf maintenance

Mowing &
Trimming

We provide professional mowing services for residential, commercial, HOA, apartment, and industrial properties of all sizes. Our crews use directional mowing patterns that alternate from week to week to help create a cleaner cut, reduce rutting, and avoid repeated wear patterns in the lawn. Each mowing includes string trimming around buildings, fences, beds, trees, and other areas the mower cannot reach — and clippings blown clear from all hard surfaces when finished.

  • Weekly & bi-weekly schedules
  • String trimming around all obstacles
  • Clippings blown from driveways & walks
  • Alternating directional mow patterns
  • Sharp mulching blades, maintained regularly
Additional service

Mechanical
Edging

Mechanical edging creates a clean, straight separation between the lawn and hard surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, walkways, and curbs. Over time, grass can grow over the edges of concrete or pavement, making the property look uneven or overgrown. Using professional edging equipment, we cut back the turf along these hard edges to restore a crisp, defined line — improving the overall curb appeal of the property.

  • Driveways, sidewalks & curbs
  • Crisp, straight cut line
  • Improves overall curb appeal
  • Available as an add-on to mowing
Dethatching
Lawn health

Dethatching

Dethatching removes the thick layer of dead grass, stems, roots, and organic buildup that can collect between the soil and healthy grass blades. When that layer becomes too heavy, it prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching the root system properly. Our dethatching service loosens and removes excess thatch so your lawn can breathe, absorb nutrients more effectively, and grow healthier — especially useful for lawns that feel spongy, have thinning areas, or are struggling to green up evenly.

  • Removes excess thatch buildup
  • Improves water & nutrient absorption
  • Recommended as a seasonal service
  • Pairs well with plug aeration
Plug aeration
Soil health

Plug
Aeration

Plug aeration, also known as core aeration, improves lawn health by removing small plugs of soil from the ground — allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach deeper into the root zone. Over time, soil compacts from foot traffic, mowing, and equipment use, making it harder for grass roots to grow strong. Plug aeration helps loosen the soil, reduce compaction, and encourage deeper root growth. It's especially beneficial for properties with heavy clay soil, high traffic, or thinning grass.

  • Removes compaction from soil
  • Encourages deeper root growth
  • Best in early fall or spring
  • Plugs left to break down naturally
Fertilizing and over-seeding
Turf nutrition & restoration

Fertilizing &
Over-Seeding

We provide proper seeding to establish a dense, healthy lawn. Our fertilization programs balance nitrogen and other nutrients tailored to specific grass types — influencing color, helping turf recover from stress, and preventing disease. Overseeding fills in thin patches, bare spots, and tired turf with the right seed varieties matched to Northern Indiana's climate and your specific soil conditions.

  • Seed selection matched to your lawn
  • Seasonal fertilization programs
  • Combines well with plug aeration
  • Starter fertilizer with seeding
  • Watering guidance provided

Clean-Up

Leaf removal
Fall service

Leaf
Removal

A crucial service to prevent heavy masses of matted leaves from blocking sunlight and reducing water evaporation from the soil. Unremoved leaves can cause fungus, mold, and disease that can damage or kill grass and ornamental plants. We run leaf removal through the season — not just once — so your property stays clear and your turf stays protected through fall.

  • Weekly or as-needed visits
  • Blow, rake, and bag
  • Haul-away available
  • Prevents fungus & disease buildup
