Our weekly mowing service goes beyond just cutting grass — it’s performed by professionals who understand what your lawn truly needs to stay healthy and vibrant. With years of experience and a deep knowledge of local grass types, we tailor our mowing techniques to promote stronger roots, natural growth, and improved lawn resilience. Proper mowing, combined with consistent care, can reduce the need for fertilizers and lead to a thicker, greener lawn over time. 

As an added benefit, our weekly lawn care customers can also enjoy same-day professional pet waste removal—a convenient solution for busy dog owners who want a clean, hassle-free yard without dealing with multiple providers. 

We also offer one-time emergency mowing for overgrown lawns or unexpected situations when you need fast, professional help.

Trust our team to keep your yard looking its best, week after week.

Detailed Edging for a Clean, Professional Look:
Defined edges can completely elevate the appearance of your yard. Our edging services include power edging for hard surfaces and trench edging for natural areas. Power edging uses commercial-grade equipment to cut sharp, clean lines along sidewalks, driveways, and patios—instantly restoring a crisp, finished look and enhancing your lawn’s overall presentation. For garden beds, trees, and borders, trench edging offers a smooth, natural edge using advanced bed-edging machines. This precise technique not only defines the shape of your landscape but also helps keep mulch and decorative material neatly in place. Add our mulch refresher service for a clean finish that boosts curb appeal and gives your outdoor space a well-maintained, professional look.

Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or a full transformation, our yard makeovers are built around your vision. We handle everything—from weeding, trimming ornamental trees and shrubs to removing bushes, redesigning garden beds, and installing new plantings.

Have your own plan? We’ll bring it to life. Need ideas? We offer custom design and planting services starting at just $100, which includes visual concepts that show you exactly how your landscape could look—helping you make confident, informed decisions before anything goes in the ground.

Add fresh mulch and a thoughtful layout, and you’ve got a yard that feels brand new—without starting from scratch.

Spring cleanups usually take place at the end of March or early April. We clear away leaves, sticks, and other winter debris from your lawn and landscape beds, then mow to give your yard a fresh, clean look.

Fall cleanups are done from October to November. We remove leaves from your yard and landscape beds and trim the grass to keep your landscape looking neat during the winter.

Enhance the health and beauty of your landscape with our professional trimming and shaping services. We specialize in maintaining ornamental trees, shrubs, and bushes, carefully shaping them to create a clean, well-groomed appearance that complements your property. For larger trees, we also trim low-hanging and dead branches to improve airflow, increase sunlight penetration, and support overall tree health. Need to remove unwanted bushes? We offer full bush removal services and can even help you redesign the area with fresh plantings to better fit your landscape vision.

Whether you need a full mulch installation or just a seasonal refresh, we've got you covered. Quality matters to us, which is why we’ve carefully sourced mulch made from pure wood logs—never from pallets, brush, cardboard, scrap wood, or other fillers. Our mulch is ground into clean, high-quality chips that not only look great but also support plant health. Choose from a variety of options, including hardwood, cedar, double and triple-shredded mulch, and even leaf compost garden mulch.

Revitalize your lawn with our premium over-seeding service, designed to restore thickness, color, and vitality to tired or thinning grass. Over-seeding involves spreading new grass seed over your existing lawn, helping to fill in bare spots and improving turf density.

For best results, over-seeding is most effective when paired with dethatching (if needed) and core aeration. 

Unlike many big-box store brands or even common contractor-grade mixes used by local providers, we use a premium, weed-free, hearty blend of grass seed specifically selected for lower Michigan’s unique climate. Our seed contains no fillers, no weed seeds, and is tailored to promote a lush, healthy, and resilient lawn season after season.

Choose quality. Choose a lawn that lasts.

We specialize in core aeration, a vital service designed to promote the health and vitality of your lawn. Whether your grass is struggling or you simply want to enhance its growth, our professional core aeration service is the perfect solution.

Core aeration is a process that involves using specialized machines to remove small plugs, or "cores," of soil from your lawn. This creates holes that allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeper into the root zone, which is crucial for a healthy lawn.

We utilize state-of-the-art core aeration machines that efficiently extract soil cores without damaging your grass. Our professional equipment ensures optimal results, making the aeration process quick and effective.

The benefits of core aeration are numerous, especially for lawns in Michigan where clay soils are prevalent:

• Improved Soil Structure: Aeration alleviates soil compaction, making it easier for roots to grow and access essential nutrients.
• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: With improved airflow and water penetration, your lawn can better absorb fertilizers and moisture.
• Healthier Roots: Aeration encourages deeper root growth, leading to a more resilient lawn that can withstand drought and disease.

The best times to perform core aeration in Michigan are in early spring and early fall. During these seasons, the cooler temperatures and increased moisture levels allow your lawn to recover quickly, promoting robust growth.

We recommend  scheduling a post-aeration cut 3-7 days after aeration. This helps break up the cores and redistribute vital nutrients back into the soil, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the aeration process. This isn't a "normal lawn cut"- we use specialized blades and adjust them perfectly to break the cores up and redistribute properly. 

For maximum benefit, consider pairing our core aeration service with lawn dethatching for even better airflow and nutrient absorption. Together, these services create the ideal environment for a thriving lawn, especially in our local area where clay soil can pose challenges. 

We understand that a lush, healthy lawn is the pride of any homeowner. Our professional lawn dethatching service is designed to rejuvenate your turf, promoting robust growth and vibrant color.

Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your lawn. We assess the thatch layer—an accumulation of dead grass, roots, and organic matter that can hinder your lawn's health. By measuring the depth of the thatch, we determine how much dethatching is necessary to restore your lawn’s vitality.

We utilize advanced power dethatching machines, designed to effectively remove excess thatch with the dethatch depth adjusted  to dethatch your lawn properly.  Our equipment ensures precision and efficiency.

Dethatching offers numerous benefits, including:

• Improved Airflow: Reducing thatch allows for better air circulation, which is essential for healthy grass.
• Enhanced Nutrient Absorption: With the thatch layer minimized, your lawn can absorb water, nutrients, and sunlight more effectively.
• Promotes Stronger Roots: Dethatching encourages deeper root growth, making your lawn more resilient against drought and disease.

In Michigan, the best times to dethatch your lawn are in the spring and fall months. During these periods, the cooler temperatures and ample moisture promote recovery and growth, allowing your grass to bounce back quickly.

We pride ourselves on our attention to detail. After dethatching, we meticulously clean up all the dead grass and debris, leaving your lawn tidy and ready for its next steps.

For maximum benefits, consider combining our dethatching service with core aeration. Together, these services promote a healthier, more resilient lawn, ensuring your outdoor space thrives.
