What Detroit lawns need from landscaping
Detroit lawns often run tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, zoysia, each with its own ideal cut height, feeding rate, and seasonal window. Our techs arrive with skid steer and rotary tiller calibrated for residential work. Where treatment is warranted, we use commercial actives like hardscape sealer and plant food at label rates, not hobby-grade jugs. In Detroit, pressure from spider mites and deer tends to drive the service calendar.
