Platinum Lawn Care and Landscaping Services
I specialize in lawn renovations, but I'm happy to provide additional services!
Lawn Maintenance

I provide lawn maintenance services customized to the needs of the lawn and the preferences of owners. Most include monthly agreements that can be canceled before the end of any month. Typical services included mowing as needed - not just weekly whether the lawn needs it or not - and more than once a week as necessary to keep your yard looking great. Mowing includes picking up limbs and sticks and bagging yard waste as needed.
Additional services that can be added to a monthly agreement - or performed as special projects:
- Lawn nutrition and weed control
- Leaf cleanup spring and fall
- Landscape bed weed control
- Regular shrub trimming or hedge trimming

Lawn Renovation
Is your yard weedy, sparse, uneven, with mismatched grass? Let me turn your ugly lawn into a pretty lawn!
I provide a custom solution for each lawn renovation situation and environment.
Typical services include:
- Selection of improved grass cultivars for drought resistance, disease resistance, and heat resistance.
- De-thatching or power-raking to remove lawn debris.
- Surface grading and filling low spots
- Seeding and top dressing
- Lawn nutrition and weed control
A note about sodding vs. seeding: I prefer seeding to laying sod because seeded grass that grows in a particular location will be acclimated to that environment. In addition, seeding allows selection of a cultivar that is uniquely suited to the particular location.

Mulch Installation

Do you have weeds in your planting beds? Is your mulch worn out and thin?
Typical services include:
- Applying edging so mulch doesn't migrate into other areas.
- Providing and delivering a variety of mulch.
- Mulch installation.
