Lawn care and landscaping in Indian River, Michigan.
Indian River lawns run along the channel between Burt Lake and Mullett Lake, and many lake lots stand empty part of the year.

Lawn care and landscaping for Indian River.
Indian River is a lake community: the Indian River links Burt Lake and Mullett Lake, and Burt Lake State Park sits on the southeast shore of Burt Lake inside the community. Many lakefront and cottage lawns here belong to seasonal owners, so mowing has to keep running while nobody is home.
Cheboygan County has sandy soil, and the USDA's typical Rubicon sand sample comes from this county, so a lawn here dries out quickly between rains. Spring and fall cleanups, beds and borders, and irrigation blowouts round out the season, with every zone blown out until the heads spray only air.

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.
