Started using LawnStarter and so far Heath came two times and has been very good and is friendly and in Communication so you have to do nothing and you have a neat and groomed yard. He leaves it looking great and does good work! Highly recommend him and LawnStarter

Excellent job on the lawn, definitely the most thorough and clean job we've had. Is it possible for you to send a message the day before if you think you will be there super early so we can leave the dog locked in overnight instead of rushing in the am?

Hire the Best Lawn Care Service in Champaign

Champaign lawns see it all: from sticky summers that beckon weeds and pests to the icy grips of winter that test the endurance of every blade of grass. With LawnStarter, you'll get expert lawn care services to shield your turf from Central Illinois' wild weather swings.

Whether you're in Campustown or West Champaign, our lawn care services cover all of Chambana's microclimates. We'll take care of everything, from mowing and fertilization to dethatching and combating invasive species.

Best Grass Types for Champaign

Champaign is located in USDA hardiness zone 6a, which means you need a grass type that can handle winter dips of -10 to -5 degrees Fahrenheit. Cool-season grasses are your best bet.

  • Kentucky Bluegrass: This turf grows well in Chambana's well-drained soils.
  • Perennial Ryegrass: This tough variety is known for bouncing back quickly from Champaign's surprise frosts and erratic rain.
  • Fine Fescue: This cultivar requires minimal water and thrives in partial shade.

How Regularly Should You Mow Your Lawn?: Mow once a week from early spring to late fall. During the summer, you can stretch it to twice a month.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases in Champaign

From June to August, Champaign's blend of heat and humidity gives birth to many fungal diseases. Plus, the mild winters in Central Illinois allow pests to survive under the frozen surface, ready to cause havoc in the spring.

  • Chewing Insects: Billbugs and sod webworms feed on grass stems and blades, leading to wilting and eventual death of grass clumps.
  • Sucking Pests: Chinch bugs and aphids drain the vital sap from grass plants, leaving them weakened and vulnerable.
  • Fungal Diseases: Red threat and gray leaf spot form colored patches and lesions on grass blades.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer

Lawnstarter is your one-stop shop for all things outdoor. Our local experts provide comprehensive outdoor services, including:

  • Patios and Walkways: Whether you're looking for a serene garden pathway or a robust entertainment space, we blend functionality with local aesthetics.
  • Outdoor Lighting: Illuminate your evenings with a range of outdoor lighting solutions, from safety-enhancing path lights to accent lighting.
  • Water Features: Get custom water features such as garden ponds, fountains, and waterfalls.

We know you're busy crushing exams at UIUC, cheering on the Illini at Memorial Stadium, or fueling up at The Red Lion. So while you're rocking that Chambana life, let us handle the dirty work.

Jameel Johnson - Sugar Rain: It started off as just being personal until some people had seen my work and started to ask me if I could cut their yard and trim hedges. I never took it seriously, but I needed to find a job, not knowing I could create my own business. As a male role model to my kids, I want to show that being a hard working, well-mannered, and disciplined person is a great example.
