Lawn care and landscaping for Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt is a village of just under 500, with Mill Street at the I-75 exit and small lots on the streets behind it. Out in Corwith Township the yards are bigger and sit under pine and hardwood near the Sturgeon River. Weekly mowing, trimming and edging suit both.
Mill Street businesses by the exit have lot edges and frontage that need trimming and sweeping in summer. Spring cleanup clears the winter off, fall cleanup clears leaves and needles, and sprinkler lines are blown out before the ground freezes. Beds and borders get a clean edge, and power washing handles driveways, patios, siding and walkways. Winters here have gone to minus 51 on record, so the blowout should not wait. Estimates are free.

Questions
Lawn care and landscaping in Vanderbilt: questions.
Do you mow in a village as small as Vanderbilt?
The size of the village does not decide it. Weekly mowing with trimming and edging is quoted by the property, and the estimate is free. Call the Alpena or Traverse City line with the address and we will tell you what we can fit.
When should sprinkler lines be blown out in Vanderbilt?
Before the ground freezes, and in a place that has recorded minus 51, that deadline is not far off. A compressor at the truck blows every zone until the heads spray only air. We only do blowouts, not installs or repairs.
Do you cut grass in Vanderbilt?
Yes. Vanderbilt 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 Vanderbilt 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 Vanderbilt?
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.
