Over the years, we’ve really refined how we handle overgrowth so we balance the wants and needs of customers and providers. We’re really proud of how we’ve mitigated this common start of season hurdle.
We Broke It, We Bought It (Fixed It).
As a kid, you probably recall your parents saying “you break it you buy it.” That same idiom applies in lawn care. While our Pro’s are a cut above in all aspects of lawn & landscaping, they are also human, just like us; and make mistakes, just like us. These are the 5 most surprising damage claims we’ve had to manage in 2019.
5 Items Under $20 You Need in Your Car This Winter
Last week we got our first taste of winter weather for the 2019-2020 season and it definitely caught us by surprise (I mean, c’mon, it was record-breaking!) El Niño? La Niña? Why’d you leave us? Although most of it has melted by now, this flash snowstorm had us preparing our winter emergency car kit before the next storm hits.
4 Times LawnGuru Pros Went Way, Wayyy Outside the Box!
Lawn & landscaping is not your typical 9-5; between the driving, heat, and loading/unloading, it’s physically taxing and highly detailed work that varies from lawn to lawn. Within a typical service, there’s a lot of gray area for lawn care pros – this isn’t about that.

Hot dog! And no, we’re not talking about the lawn. This Pro got his entrepreneurial start from none other than a hot dog stand! But, in the midst of winter when all the toppings froze (yikes!), Blake knew this seasonal business wasn’t going to cut it. It was time to jump into something fresh, this time, with the weather on his side.

Jeffrey entered the outdoor service industry over 15 years ago, but it was only in 2018 that he decided to go out on his own. That’s where we come in! From our first call with him, we knew (and secretly hoped) he’d become part of the LawnGuru family. He is one of those people that you feel you’ve known forever after just a few minutes of conversation. He’s a skilled landscaper and therefore enjoys adding flowers & mulch to transform a blank canvas

Behind every great lawn, is an even better provider! Our August Provider of the Month, Vincent, has mowed nearly 1,500 lawns with us since 2017. That’s 10.9 MILLION square feet of grass! To put it into perspective, if football fields all had grass, that would be eight years of consistent lawn maintenance at the Big House. While Vincent is a jack of all trades, he says, “nothing will ever beat a quality grass cut.”

Growing up blocks away from one of Michigan’s top restaurants, (shoutout Mabel Gray), Brian’s standards were high. He’s been known to call himself a perfectionist and that quality shines
