How We Assess Your Lawn
- Visual inspection: We walk the entire property, check soil compaction, identify problem areas, and note weed and disease pressure
- Soil evaluation: We determine if your lawn needs aeration, overseeding, or soil amendment based on density and drainage
- Seasonal assessment: We identify what your specific lawn needs this season — spring cleanup, summer stress prevention, or fall strengthening
- Custom plan: We build a maintenance schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly cuts) plus any treatments specific to your lawn's condition
Red Wing sits in USDA zone 4b with cold winters, heavy snow, and a short growing season — lawns here need aggressive spring establishment and fall conditioning that generic national lawn services don't understand. Our maintenance schedule is built around Red Wing's specific seasonal windows, not a template approach.
