Easy, Affordable Lawn Care Services in Dekalb

Dekalb is known for its unpredictable weather, which can make it difficult to maintain a lush and healthy lawn. But don't worry –– LawnStarter is here to help. Our team of lawn care experts is equipped with the knowledge and tools to keep your property in tip-top shape, no matter the weather.

How LawnStarter Can Take Care of Your Lawn: Our pros will mow, trim, and edge your lawn, ensuring it’s well-maintained throughout the year. With LawnStarter, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a beautiful lawn without lifting a finger.

Common Grass Types: Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass and fine fescue, are great choices for Dekalb lawns.

Best Time to Plant Grass: Planting grass in the fall allows it to establish roots before the hot and dry summer months.

Spring Lawn Care Tips: It's important to aerate your lawn to help improve soil health. This will also help the grassroots absorb more water and nutrients. Additionally, you should fertilize your lawn to give it a boost of nutrients and help it recover from winter damage.

Fall Lawn Care Tips: Prepare your lawn for winter by removing any fallen leaves and branches and overseeding bare spots to ensure a lush lawn in the spring.

Common Lawn Pests and Diseases: Grubs, chinch bugs, armyworms, brown patch, and powdery mildew can be treated with pesticides and regular mowing and watering.

Other Services We Offer: Aside from lawn care, LawnStarter offers other outdoor maintenance services, including power washing, gutter cleaning, and tree removal.

Nicholas Lucente - Grass cuts ext: Now offering gutter cleaning. Did you know that leaving dirt to fill up the gutter can grow plants? Of course we knew that, but what if I told you that it can damage your siding and even cause your ceilings to start leaking? Even worse, it can create mold, which is a health risk to you, your family, and friends. So if you like this service, please let me take care of the problem so you can be worry free.

Overall was a good clean up though I did notice a bunch of weeds still sticking out of the pavers in both the front and back yard. Mowing and edging was great. Still a bunch of leaves and branches in the back. My original request was to also have the back sprayed for mosquitos, not sure if that took place.

Jonathan Acosta - Tierra Landscaping: Graduating senior at Dekalb High. Worked as a dairy farm and lawn care worker. Iu2019m a hardworking and reliable lawn care worker with several years of experience. I know how to keep lawns looking clean, neat, and well-maintained. My daily work includes mowing, trimming, edging, and doing seasonal cleanups. I take pride in leaving every yard looking better than I found it. I always show up on time and take my work seriously. I make sure each job is done carefully and I use equipment like lawnmowers, trimmers, edgers, and blowers safely and efficiently to get the job done right. I care about doing good work and making customers happy. I listen to what they want and try my best to meet their expectations. I enjoy this kind of work. I like being outdoors and seeing the results of my effort at the end of the day. A clean, well-cut lawn makes a big difference, and Iu2019m proud to be someone people can count on to make that happen.
