Our Professional Lawn and Landscape Maintenance Services

Lawn and landscape maintenance keeps your property looking sharp and functioning well across every season. When lawns grow unevenly, shrubs get overgrown, or weeds start creeping in, reliable upkeep is the difference between a yard that works and one that falls behind. These services improve daily use while supporting long-term landscape performance.

The TurfGuy provides lawn and landscape maintenance in Kokomo, Indiana and throughout Howard, Tipton, and Hamilton counties. Our team handles every detail with practical planning and focused service, from mowing and edging to seasonal cleanup and soil testing. Each task supports the health, structure, and appearance of your landscape so it stays consistent year-round.

Mulching

Mulch keeps moisture in the soil, blocks weeds, and gives beds a clean finish. We apply fresh mulch with care around trees, shrubs, and garden spaces. The right mulch choice helps plant roots stay cool in the summer and protected in the winter. Every yard looks better with a fresh layer.

Fall Cleanup

Falling leaves and tired plants shouldn't stick around. Our fall cleanup includes pruning bushes, clearing beds, and spreading mulch where needed. These tasks help prep your landscape for winter and cut down on spring work. We haul everything away as part of our yard debris removal services.

Spring Cleanup

Once the snow melts, lawns and beds need a little boost. We remove leaves and branches, spread fresh mulch, and cut back perennials to make room for new growth. Spring cleanup sets the tone for the whole season. Our crew works fast to get your space looking ready again.

Lawn Mowing and Edging

Routine mowing and edging help keep grass healthy and walkways clean. We cut the grass to the right height and edge around beds, sidewalks, and driveways. Consistent service is part of our lawn maintenance plans for both homes and businesses, so your yard always looks sharp.

Aeration and Overseeding

Core aeration opens the soil so roots can breathe, take in nutrients, and grow deeper. We do a double-pass in most cases, and fall is the best time to do it. Overseeding with turf-type tall fescue builds thick, strong lawns that handle heat and drought. Shade areas get a fine fescue mix, and late August is the ideal time for seed.

Leaf Management

Leaf buildup can smother turf, clog drains, and create slipping hazards, especially during the fall season. Our leaf management service focuses on mulching leaves into the soil whenever possible, returning nutrients to the landscape and reducing waste. This approach keeps your property clean while supporting long-term soil health.

Soil Testing and Amendment

Knowing your soil is the first step to better plant and turf health. We test pH and nutrients, then apply products to adjust as needed. Strong soil supports everything from lawns to garden beds. With the right soil amendment, your plants grow better and faster.

Tree and Shrub Trimming

Neat trees and shrubs make a big difference in how your yard looks. We shape them for size, balance, and airflow to keep them growing well. Regular trimming also helps prevent pests and diseases. Our service works for both small bushes and large hedges.

Weed Control

Weeds steal water, space, and sunlight from your grass. Our weed control program includes pre-emergent treatments to prevent crabgrass and post-emergent spot sprays for broadleaf weeds. Lawns treated with herbicides need to stay off-limits to pets and people for 24 hours. Regular care helps reduce weeds year-round.

Lawn Fertilization

Healthy lawns need the right food at the right time. We follow a five-application program with two pre-emergent sprays and three combined fertilizer and weed control treatments. Synthetic products are our go-to unless you request something different. Like with weed treatments, you should avoid the lawn for 24 hours after application.
