Lawn care and landscaping for Kalkaska.
Kalkaska is on the Grayling outwash plain, sandy ridges and jack pine barrens, and the state soil named for this county is Kalkaska sand, which drains fast. Fast drainage means lawns dry out quicker than on heavy ground. Village lots near Chalker Park and Mill Pond Park, the commercial strip on US-131 and M-72, and acreage out of town all get mowing, with striping, trimming and edging.
Beds and borders and spring and fall cleanup fit around the short season. Irrigation lines are blown out in fall with a compressor at the truck, every zone, until the heads spray only air. Call for a free estimate on weekly mowing. The season is short, so the first cut and the last cleanup both count.
