Lawn Care and Landscaping Services
What core services does chips clips lawncare mn provide?
We specialize in a full range of turf maintenance options designed to keep your yard healthy. Our primary services include professional lawn mowing, overseeding, lawn aeration, and power raking. We also provide seasonal support such as spring cleanup, fall cleanup, weed control, and lawn dethatching. Our team tailors each service to the unique grass types and soil conditions found throughout our service areas.
How do I know if my lawn needs aeration or power raking?
Soil compaction and heavy thatch are two common issues that prevent grass from growing thick and healthy. If your lawn feels spongy and has a thick layer of dead grass, it likely needs power raking to remove the debris. If the soil is hard, dry, and water puddles on the surface, lawn aeration is an effective way to open up the ground. We often combine these treatments with overseeding to fill in bare spots and introduce resilient grass varieties.
Can I combine multiple services for a discount?
Yes, we highly recommend combining services to achieve excellent results for your soil. When you book two or more services together, we offer a twenty-five percent discount on your total. New customers can also enjoy a twenty percent discount on their first service with us. For long-term care, signing a seasonal contract gives you fifty percent off your first service, helping you save money while maintaining a beautiful yard.
