What we do
Most people start with the fertilization program and add from there. If you only want the lawn cut, that's fine too.
Six rounds, March through October. Each one feeds the lawn what it actually needs that month.
More about fertilization
Deep-root feeding for the maples, arborvitae, and foundation plantings the lawn program never reaches.
More about tree/shrub fertilization
Weekly cuts on a set day, at the right height for the season, with the edges done every time.
More about mowing
The two big ones. Open the yard up in April, put it to bed in November.
More about spring & fall cleanups
Pet-friendly, all-natural barrier treatment so the back yard is usable in July.
More about mosquito/tick controlWe've never advertised much. The work goes in, the sign goes out front for a week, and the next call usually comes from two doors down. If a lawn on your street looks better than yours, there's a decent chance we did it.
See lawns on our routeThe six-step program
Six visits across the season, each doing a different job. Weed control comes with all six.
A pre-emergent goes down before soil temperatures hit the point where crabgrass germinates, alongside the first feeding and broadleaf weed control. This round is about timing more than anything else.
A second feeding while the lawn is growing hardest, with weed control to catch anything that broke through the first round and to stop new weed seed from setting.
High-potassium fertilizer for deep color and heat tolerance heading into summer. Surface insect control is included at no charge with this round.
A balanced, time-released feeding so the lawn is fed slowly through the worst of July and August rather than pushed. Free liquid aeration comes with this round to get water and nutrients moving through compacted soil.
Targeted feeding and a heavier weed control pass while the lawn recovers from summer stress, so it goes into fall dense and weed-free.
The most important round of the year. A nutrient-rich fall feeding goes into root storage over winter, which is what produces an early, even green-up the following spring.
Why people stay
We have grown almost entirely on neighbors telling neighbors. That only works if the lawn looks right and the phone gets answered.
Where we work
30 communities from Lincoln Park south to Carleton and west to Belleville. If your town isn't listed but you're close to it, call and ask.
Before you call
The things people ask on the first call.
It depends on the size of your lawn, so we quote it rather than guess. Call (734) 365-3197 with your address and we can usually give you a number on the spot.
Yes. We use all-natural, pet-friendly products, and we treat the shaded harborage areas rather than broadcasting across the lawn where the dog actually lies down.
No. The six-step program is billed per round as we go. If you want to stop, tell us and we stop.
We come back and re-apply it at no cost. That has been the deal since 1992 and it has not changed.
We cover downriver Detroit — from Lincoln Park through Rockwood and Carleton, west to Belleville and every community in between. That is 30 communities across southern Wayne and northern Monroe County. If you are near the edge of that, call and ask.
Early spring is ideal because round one is timed to beat crabgrass germination. That said, a lawn started in July still finishes the season better than one that was not started at all.
Send us the address and what's bothering you about it. We'll price it and tell you honestly what it needs.
