Lawn care and snow removal in Elk River
One agreement covers the weekly mow and the snow route. Twelve of us, one phone number, and a driveway that's clear in the morning.
Pick the season
Tap a season to see what the year looks like. The agreement is one document either way.
A weekly mow on the same weekday, with the trimming and edging done each visit. The spring and fall clean-ups are on the plan, so the beds are ready for the season and bare for the first snow.
Mow, trim, edge and blow every week
Spring clean-up and fall leaf pickup
Rained-out visits move to the next dry day
We plow the driveway and clear the front walk once snow reaches the trigger depth in your agreement, then salt. The routes run in a set order, and your place in it is written on the page you sign.

Plans
Pick a season or take both. Each plan is priced from the size of your lot, the length of your driveway and the walks we clear.
Weekly mowing and both clean-ups.
Plowing and salting past the trigger depth.
The lawn plan and the snow plan on one contract, one invoice schedule and one phone number.
Your lot gets its own written quote. No plan covers tree or brush work, roof snow, deck or stair shoveling, or hauling snow off the lot. Cancel before a season's first visit and you owe nothing for it; after that, unused visits are credited and you pay for the visits made. Plans cover our visits only, not property damage you cause or storm damage.
The year
Cool-season lawns and a long winter set the calendar. Dates move with the weather.
Leaves and winter debris out of the beds and off the lawn, edges cut, and a first mow once the grass is growing.
The same weekday, the same crew. In a dry stretch we raise the cut height instead of scalping the lawn.
An add-on for thin lawns. Cool-season grass seeds best before the nights turn cold.
Leaves come off the lawn and out of the beds before the first snow, so the plow doesn't push them into a pile.
Mowers go away and plows come out. Snow agreements are placed on the route in the order they're signed.
Plowed past the trigger depth, walks cleared, salt where it's needed.
Who answers
She mows in July and plows in January. When you text, it's her or Stefania who texts back.
Twelve people work the route, and most of them do both seasons. That's the point of the agreement: the crew that learns your lawn is the crew that learns where the snow goes, and the person who signs your quote is the person who knows the route.

Sample reviews
“The mower guy and the plow guy turned out to be the same crew. They knew where the septic lid was in July and where the mailbox was in January.”
“One text thread for everything. I asked for the leaves to go before the first snow and they were done the same week.”
“I signed up in October. The agreement said where I sat on the route, so I stopped wondering when the plow would come.”
Sample reviews.
Where the trucks go
One route runs lawn and snow, so the list is the same all year. If your town isn't here, text us your street and we'll say yes or no.
We don't plow or mow south of Rogers or west of St. Michael, and we don't take lots over two acres or commercial parking lots.

Questions
It depends on the size of the lot, the length of the driveway and how many walks we clear. The plans page shows what each plan includes; your agreement carries your own numbers.
Text us your address in spring and we'll set a first mow once the grass is growing. In the fall, the snow route fills in the order agreements come in, so we say where you sit before the first snowfall.
Our business filing and the insurance record are in the footer of every page. We send a certificate of insurance on request, before the first visit.
One of us walks the lot with you, or you text photos and a street address. We measure the lawn and the driveway, note the slope and where snow can go, and send a written quote by text or email.
Each plan is billed on a set schedule written into the agreement. We take checks and card payments; the quote lists the schedule and the methods.
Mowing moves to the next dry day on your route. A skipped visit is not billed. In winter, we plow when snow reaches the trigger depth in your agreement.
In summer, pick up hoses, toys and dog chains. In winter, mark the edges of the driveway if you can and move cars off the pavement. Tell us about sprinkler heads, pet fences and anything under the lawn.
