Elizabeth B.

We have just completed a “ hardscape” project at our new home. The patio with fire pit and walkways to entrances could not have turned out better. Our salesman David was most responsive. The crew, which was headed by Shannon and complimented by Rob and Dawson, responded to our every request with “ sure, no problem”. They were truly artists in creating our free form design. What a pleasure it is to work with theses gentlemen and such a wonderful company. We can not recommend them highly enough! We will enjoy their work for years to come! Thank you to all at Grasshopper Gardens!

James C.

A truly healthy lawn requires attention throughout the year, and our organic approach adapts to each season’s demands. In spring, we jumpstart your lawn with aeration, soil samples, and organic fertilizer to rebuild soil structure after winter. Summer lawn care focuses on proper mowing height, natural weed control, and pest management to help your lawn withstand heat and environmental conditions. Fall is critical for organic programs—we apply organically composted topdressing, overseed with a cool-season grass mixture, and add organic matter to prepare your soil for winter. This year-round organic lawn care program ensures your home lawn stays resilient, and your healthy soil continues building strength season after season.
