Lawn care and landscaping for Gaylord.
Gaylord has about 4,300 people in the city and more homes spread around Otsego Lake and the other lakes of Otsego County, which has over 370 of them. The ground is a sandy outwash plain with jack pine, so lawns come up under pine and hardwood shade. Weekly mowing, trimming and edging cover homes, lakefront and commercial grounds.
Commercial grounds on Dickerson Road, around the Edelweiss Village shopping center and along M-32, need mowing and trimming through summer, and parking lot and street sweeping once the snow is gone. Fall cleanup and a sprinkler blowout come before the ground freezes. With 140 inches of snow a year, the growing season is not long.

Questions
Lawn care and landscaping in Gaylord: questions.
Can you mow a lakefront home on Otsego Lake?
Lakefront is part of the weekly mowing service, with trimming and edging along the shoreline and beds. Call the Alpena or Traverse City line with the address for a free estimate.
Do you sweep large parking lots in Gaylord in summer?
Parking lot and street sweeping is on our list, and the same owner's lawn crew does it after the snow season. It suits plazas and shared lots like those on Dickerson Road. Call with the lot size for a free estimate.
Do you cut grass in Gaylord?
Yes. Gaylord is in Otsego County, inside the Northern Michigan area we cover. Estimates are free. Call Traverse City on 231-944-8752 or use the form on this page and tell us the address.
What else can you do on a property in Gaylord 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 Gaylord?
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.
