Services
Lawn Mowing
Our weekly lawn mowing service includes trimming around edging, trees, and landscapes, followed by high-velocity blowing to clear debris from hard surfaces. Using commercial-grade equipment, we ensure precise cuts at optimal heights to promote lawn health. Available for residential and commercial properties across the Twin Cities metro area.
Gopher Control
Specialized baiting and trapping services for Plains pocket gophers, the primary species affecting Twin Cities properties. Our licensed technicians use Minnesota Department of Agriculture-approved methods to eliminate infestations and prevent recurrence. Includes follow-up visits to ensure complete eradication.
Core Aeration
Mechanical core aeration services that improve soil oxygenation, water absorption, and root development. Recommended annually to maintain lawn vitality, this service creates pathways for nutrients while reducing soil compaction and thatch buildup in Minneapolis-area soils.
Snow Removal
Residential and commercial snow plowing, salting, and shoveling services available 24/7 during winter months. We clear driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots using truck-mounted plows and handheld equipment, ensuring safe access during heavy snowfall events across the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro region.
Fertilization
Customized fertilization programs applying 4-5 lbs of nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft annually. Our treatments include pre-emergent crabgrass control in spring, post-emergent weed control in summer, and potassium-rich fall applications to strengthen root systems for Minnesota winters.
