What I Do

Five straightforward services that cover what most yards actually need. Call (317) 517-0728 for a quote on any of them.

🪵 Mulching

Fresh black mulch install along a walkway with boxwood shrubs — The Lawn Guy

Fresh mulch installation around trees, flower beds, walkways, and garden edges. We deliver the mulch (hardwood, dyed black, red, or natural — your pick) and install it evenly, the right depth, neat edges.

Best done in spring before weeds take hold and again in fall for winter protection. A fresh mulch install is the single biggest visual upgrade you can make to a yard — it instantly makes everything else look maintained.

Typical projects: Flower bed refresh · Tree ring installs · Foundation beds · Playground mulch

🌱 Planting

White lily foundation planting with hostas and black-eyed Susans

Seasonal flower beds, shrubs, small ornamental trees, and perennials — placed to thrive in the actual sun, soil, and drainage conditions of your yard, not just what looks good in a garden center.

Works best paired with mulching and cleanup: we prep the bed, install the plants, mulch over it, and leave you with something that will fill in and look better every year.

Typical projects: Front-of-house beds · Backyard perennial gardens · Foundation plantings · Seasonal flower rotations

🌿 Mowing

Professional lawn striping across a fenced backyard — The Lawn Guy

Weekly or bi-weekly mowing on a set schedule. Trim around fences, beds, and walkways. Blade is kept sharp — dull blades tear grass and let disease in. Cuts at the right height for the season.

The big difference between a mowing service that actually helps your lawn and one that just cuts the grass: whether someone knows and cares about the details. Same person shows up every week. No skipped weeks without a heads-up.

Typical clients: Busy homeowners · Landlords · Vacation properties · Seniors who want their yard maintained without the work

🍂 Yard Cleanup

Spring cleanup to clear winter debris, cut back perennials, refresh bed edges, and get your yard ready for the growing season. Fall cleanup handles leaves, dead annuals, and pre-winter prep.

Also great one-time service for property transitions — new home, rental turnover, or a yard that's gotten away from you. We can get it back in shape and hand you a maintainable starting point.

Typical projects: Spring bed refresh · Fall leaf removal · Storm debris cleanup · New-home yard reset

🌾 Core Aeration

ExMark 30-inch stand-on core aerator used for lawn aeration

Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil out of your lawn, breaking up compaction and letting water, air, and nutrients reach the roots. Thicker grass, fewer weeds, better color.

One-time service, once or twice a year (spring or fall is best). Pairs perfectly with overseeding for a thicker lawn, or standalone if you already have good coverage.

Timing: Spring (April–May) for warm-season prep · Fall (September–October) for best long-term results
