Lawn Maintenance

Every lawn grows differently. We start with a quick evaluation of your property and goals, then set a routine that fits your lawn’s growth, your schedule, and the finish you want.

Option 2: Fix + Maintain

For lawns that are thin, patchy, or struggling — build thickness over time.

  • Soil testing + lawn evaluation
  • Aeration / dethatching
  • Overseeding + repair
  • Fertilization options
Best for: thicker turf + long-term improvement.

Minnesota Seasonal Game Plan

Early Spring
Cleanups and first cuts as growth starts. We set mowing height and identify thin or stressed areas.
Late Spring
Establish a consistent mowing rhythm and edge definition. Optional lawn evaluation if density is uneven.
Summer
Adjust mowing height higher to reduce heat stress. We prioritize consistency and avoid scalping.
Early Fall
Best window for aeration + overseeding. Great time to thicken turf and repair damage from summer.
Late Fall
Final cuts and cleanup before winter. Set turf up for a clean spring and reduce snow mold risk.
