Routine mowing is the foundation of any good lawn care program. Our team mows your grass at the proper height for your specific grass type and the current weather conditions, preventing stress while encouraging thick, healthy growth. We sharpen our mower blades regularly to ensure a clean cut, avoiding the frayed edges that can invite disease.
We also edge sidewalks and driveways, trim hard-to-reach areas, and clean up clippings to leave your yard crisp and tidy after each visit. Regular mowing improves curb appeal and supports a healthier, more resilient lawn.

Illinois lawns face pressure from broadleaf weeds, crabgrass, and nutrient depletion throughout the year. Our customized fertilization and weed control programs are timed to provide steady growth and effective weed suppression throughout the growing season.
We use a combination of granular and liquid treatments tailored to your lawn’s soil profile and grass type. Fertilizer applications are designed to replenish nutrients gradually, avoiding the sudden growth spurts that can weaken grass. Weed control treatments target unwanted plants like dandelions, clover, and thistle without damaging your turf.
We typically follow a 4-to-6 step program through spring, summer, and fall to ensure year-round health and minimal lawn weeds.
Compacted soil is a major cause of poor lawn performance in Mahomet. Our core aeration service removes small plugs of soil from the lawn, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively. This service is typically performed in the fall, though it can also benefit cool-season lawns in early spring.
Our crews relieve compaction and reduce thatch buildup with an aeration service that helps improve root growth, reduce water runoff, and boost fertilizer absorption. We recommend aerating your lawn at least once a year (in fall or early spring) for optimal results.

If your lawn is thin, patchy, or recovering from summer stress, overseeding is an excellent way to restore density. We spread premium, region-appropriate grass seed immediately after aeration to take advantage of the open soil channels. This gives new seedlings the best chance to germinate, establish, and integrate into your existing turf.
Our team selects seed blends that are suited for Mahomet's climate and soil conditions, ensuring a lawn that is both beautiful and drought-tolerant.
Leaves, sticks, and debris can smother your lawn, create fungal problems, and ruin your home’s appearance. Our spring and fall cleanup services ensure your yard stays healthy and tidy through every season. In spring, we prepare your turf for the growing season with debris removal, mowing, edging, and bed cleanup. In fall, we remove fallen leaves, prune perennials, and prep your lawn for winter dormancy.
Cleanups also provide a great opportunity to assess your lawn's condition and recommend any services like aeration or fertilization for better health.
Q: How often should my lawn be mowed in Mahomet?
A: During the growing season, most lawns in Mahomet should be mowed once a week. Frequency may increase in spring and decrease in summer based on weather and growth rate.
Q: What types of grass grow best in Mahomet, IL?
A: Cool-season grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue perform well in Mahomet. We tailor our care programs to match your specific grass type.
Q: Is lawn aeration really necessary?
A: Yes, core aeration is one of the most beneficial services for improving compacted soil and boosting root development. It allows your lawn to breathe and absorb nutrients more efficiently.
Q: When is the best time to fertilize in Mahomet?
A: Fertilization is typically done in early spring, late spring, summer (lightly), and fall. Fall applications are especially important for root development heading into winter.
Q: Do I need professional weed control?
A: While store-bought products can help, they’re often less effective and more prone to damaging your lawn if misused. Our team uses commercial-grade, selective herbicides that target weeds without harming your turf.
Q: Can you help with brown patches or dead spots?
A: Absolutely. We’ll diagnose the cause, whether it’s disease, pests, or drought stress, and implement a treatment plan to restore the area.
