  • How often should I mow my lawn?

    During peak growing season (spring and early summer), lawns should typically be mowed once per week. In slower growth periods, mowing may be adjusted based on weather and grass conditions.

  • When is the best time to mulch landscape beds?

    The best time to install mulch is in the spring (March–May) to lock in moisture, prevent weeds, and refresh your landscape’s appearance. Fall mulching can also help protect plant roots during winter.

  • What is included in a spring cleanup?

    A typical spring cleanup includes removal of leaves, sticks, and debris, cutting back perennials and ornamental grasses, light pruning of shrubs, bed edging for clean lines, and preparing beds for mulch installation. This sets your landscape up for a healthy growing season.

  • Do you offer fertilization and weed control programs?

    Yes! We offer a professional multi-step fertilization and weed control program designed to prevent weeds before they grow, eliminate existing weeds, promote thick, healthy turf, and protect against insects and grubs. Applications are spaced throughout the growing season for optimal results.

  • When should I aerate and overseed my lawn?

    The best time for aeration and overseeding in Indiana is early fall (typically September). This allows new grass to establish before winter and results in a thicker lawn the following spring.

  • How long does a landscaping project take?

    Project timelines vary depending on size and complexity. Small projects like mulch or plant installs typically take 1–2 days. Medium projects such as drainage or minor hardscaping take 2–5 days.
