Alex actually takes the time to do the job right, which I appreciate. From the first day Alex has been professional and reliable. He treats my yard with care even down to the edging around the fences. The yard looks great with stripes going both ways, and an even uniform cut. Alex takes pride in his work, which seems hard to find these days.

Grimes lawns, Iowa weather
Grimes lawns tend to bake in the late summer because so many of the newer lots have full southern exposure with little shade. Mowing tall (3.5–4 inches) and watering deeply twice a week instead of every day produces a deeper root system that holds up much better through August. Our treatment program adjusts nitrogen down in July specifically because of how hot Grimes lawns get.

Grimes questions.
Do you serve all of Grimes?
Yes, north of Highway 44, south of NW 158th, all the way from Beaver Creek east to NW 70th. Both the Polk County and Dallas County sides.
Do you do snow removal in Grimes too?
Yes. Driveways and walks, with seasonal contracts so we just show up automatically when there are 2 or more inches of snow. No 5 a.m. phone calls needed.
Can you handle larger acreages with riding mowers?
Yes. Our equipment scales to ¼-acre lots up through 2-acre acreages. Anything bigger than that, give us a call so we can quote it specifically.
