Weekly maintenance visits

The backbone of most maintenance programs are the weekly maintenance visits. For each week during the growing season we make a service visit to your property to mow turf areas to proper growing height, line trim along curb and walk lines, and blow all walkways and curbs from grass clippings and debris. But where most service providers would stop, we continue - each week we ensure that sticks and debris, including trash, are picked up and removed from the property, and we make note of any additional maintenance that may need to be performed. This way you’ll always have an extra set of eyes around the property looking for potential trouble areas. Our maintenance plans are for commercial and residential properties requiring a quality and timely service provider.

Spring + Fall Clean up

Each spring can bring unique challenges to your property. Snow removal services over the winter months can cause damage to turf and irrigation systems. Therefore we can perform a full inspection of the property prior to the growing season and create a plan to address any problem areas during spring clean up. Our typical spring clean up services include a general clean-up of all turf and landscapes on the property. Turf areas are power-raked, leaves and debris in foundation areas and planting beds are cleaned out, and all walkways and curb lines are blown clean for a fresh start to the season.

Fall clean up services include at least two visits to remove all leaves and debris from your property. During the final visit we typical perform one last mowing of the turf for proper overwintering. We take a lot of pride in our fall clean-ups and we are confident you’ll be very pleased with the results.

Pest Control + Fertilization

Pest control services are a necessary and important part of any professional maintenance program. Pest control services include turf fertilization and broad-leaf weed control programs, insect and rodent control plans, and tree and shrub protection and treatment services. Each property requires a specific approach to pest control, and we can work with your specific budget and concerns to build a program that is most effective for your property. Contact us for more detailed information about our pest control plans.

Irrigation services

Irrigation systems are a critical aspect to a well manicured and healthy landscape. After all, turf and plants need ample water to grow and look their best. However, irrigation systems and components do require seasonal maintenance and adjustments for proper function. At New Leaf Landcare we work with select partners for new irrigation installation and existing system maintenance as part our grounds maintenance programs. Our technicians have seen it all, and have decades of experience in the field.

plant care + pruning

Each property has a unique plant set that requires a custom plan for pruning and care. And in Minnesota we use plenty of native perennial plants that need special attention for proper plant health and growth. As part of a maintenance program we trim ornamental perennial grasses in the early spring to promote new growth, and perform a mid and late season pruning for all shrubs and bushes - paying close attention to proper timing and technique for top plant health and growth. Undoubtedly, this is an important service for looking after your landscaping investment.

seasonal color plantings

Any property can greatly increase its curb appeal by simply planting colorful annuals in the spring and fall. Color can have more impact on the landscape than any other design element. On the other side, nothing has a more negative impact than a poorly maintained color area. Therefore it is equally important to use proper planting and maintenance methods. The impression that a well planned seasonal color arrangement has on your property, and therefore you (and your tenants), can not be understated. Color brings light and joy into both the workplace and home environments. Popular annual color varieties include marigolds, petunias and begonias, along with chrysanthemums, purple fountain grass, and flowering kale.

Mulching + Gardening Services

Mulch is not only an important tool in keeping your property visually appealing but can also serves as a critical component to weed control and plant health. Keeping adequate mulch around your plants aids in proper hydration and root protection. And with proper maintenance mulch can help keep weeds as bay while using less herbicides. A fresh layer of mulch each season may be one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep a property beautiful season after season. And with that, each season we spread many, many cubic yards of shredded mulch at our clients homes and places of business. Get in touch with us today for current prices and to schedule a mulching visit.

tree trimming + removal

Our partners have a combined 50+ years experience in the professional tree removal business.

turf aeration + seeding
