Services
Lawn Mowing
Our lawn mowing service includes weekly or bi-weekly mowing, trimming around structures, and blowing debris from paved surfaces. We maintain grass at optimal 3-3.5" height while never removing more than 1/3 of the blade. Consistent mowing prevents weed growth and promotes healthy turf development in Waukesha County landscapes.
Core Aeration
This service uses mechanical equipment to create air channels in soil, improving oxygen levels, fertilizer absorption, and root strength. We recommend annual aeration to prevent soil compaction and maintain lawn health, particularly beneficial after winter snow melt when soil density increases.
Winter Plowing
We handle residential driveway plowing starting at $40 per service, with twice-daily snow removal for heavy snowfall exceeding 5". Our service includes blacktop salting at $.50 per pound, ensuring safe winter access while protecting surfaces from ice damage in Brookfield's seasonal conditions.
Mulch Spreading
Available in shredded oak ($42/cubic yard), hemlock ($65), or colorized options ($65), our mulch prevents weeds, retains moisture, and insulates plants. Minimum 2 cubic yard requirement ensures effective coverage for flower beds and gardens across Waukesha County properties.
Seasonal Cleanup
Our twice-yearly cleanups remove debris from mulch beds and lawns. Spring service prevents snow mold after thaw, while fall cleanups prepare properties for winter. Both include mowing and waste hauling, ensuring year-round curb appeal through proper seasonal preparation.
