Lawn care and landscaping for Alpena.
When the grass wakes up in spring it grows fast, then quits early in fall, so a weekly cut with clean trimming and edging does the most for a lot here. Striping gives a front lawn a finished look from the street. Out at Long Lake and Lakewood the lawns run down to the water, and the edges along the shore take the most hand work.
Commercial grounds along M-32 and US-23 South are mostly open turf, parking lots and beds that need regular trimming. Spring and fall cleanup and bed and border work make up the yearly routine, and irrigation lines get blown out in fall, every zone, until the heads spray only air.

Questions
Lawn care and landscaping in Alpena: questions.
When should irrigation be blown out in Alpena?
Before the first hard freeze. Water left in a line can freeze and split it, and you find out in spring. We run a compressor at the truck and blow out every zone until the heads spray only air. Fall is also when leaf and bed cleanup gets done.
Do you mow commercial lots and lakefront lawns around Alpena?
Yes. Weekly mowing, striping, trimming and edging for homes, lakefront and commercial grounds. In summer the same crew sweeps parking lots, and in winter we plow them. Ask for a free estimate and tell us the property size and where the mower will need to go.
Do you cut grass in Alpena?
Yes. Alpena is in Alpena County, inside the Northern Michigan area we cover. Estimates are free. Call Alpena on 989-255-5800 or use the form on this page and tell us the address.
What else can you do on a property in Alpena besides mowing?
Spring and fall cleanups, beds and borders, irrigation blowouts, snow removal and ice management, power washing and soft washing, and parking lot or street sweeping. One crew and one number, all year.
Do you blow out sprinkler systems in Alpena?
Yes, in the fall, before the freeze. We hook the compressor up at the truck, run the line to your system and push the water out of every zone, so nothing is left in the pipes to freeze and crack over the winter.
