Proper maintenance is crucial to keeping your yard healthy and beautiful.

At Intermountain Lawns we are dedicated to quality in our workmanship. Proper maintenance is crucial to keeping your yard healthy and beautiful. Our Weekly or Every 2 Week mowing and trimming service will keep your lawn looking great while you enjoy more time with your family.  We cut at a recommended 3″ – 3.5” height and keep records of the length that your lawn does best & is most desirable to you. We recommend dropping or mulching the clippings back into the lawn when possible, to recycle them, especially if you’re on a weekly schedule and cutting a recommended 1/3 off the blade of grass at a time.  The clippings release nitrogen back into your lawn which acts as natural fertilizer. Some prefer the clippings to be bagged or if the lawn grows too tall in between cuts our service does includes bagging clippings and hauling them away.

Our Mowing Service includes trimming around sidewalks, fences, walls, and any reasonable part of a lawn that can’t be reached by the lawn mower at no additional cost, preferring to stay within the border of the lawn. Anything outside the border of the lawn, such as rock or mulch areas, we don’t like to trim to avoid any debris being picked up by the trimmer and causing damage (i.e., rocks breaking windows). Excessive uncontrolled grass or weeds that border outside the lawn can be trimmed but would be at an additional cost.

Sometimes we are asked if our mowing service includes “Edging”. The term “Edging” and “Trimming” are sometimes used universally, however, Trimming sidewalk edges with a string trimmer/weed eater vs. Edging with a heavy-duty metal blade that cuts a clean line away from sidewalk edges are 2 separate services. Trimming is included with our mowing service while Edging is considered a separate service & charge.  Depending on overgrowth onto sidewalk edges we could cut anywhere from 1″ – 8″ of overgrowth. The process can sometimes take longer than simply mowing the lawn. Edging sidewalks is not something that needs to be done on a regular basis, yet more something that only needs done once or twice a season depending on individual preference.

Finally, time to clean up and blow off sidewalks & driveways like we weren’t even there! Simple, easy, inexpensive, and convenient for you.  Count on us to keep your lawn looking well-manicured, “fresh from the Barber”, with our professional equipment and work ethic.

Lawn Aeration is a key service in maintaining a healthy lawn.

At Intermountain Lawns we specialize in maintaining beautiful lawns in Colorado. Lawn aeration is a key service in maintaining a healthy lawn. Why is aeration so important? Our Colorado soil has a lot of sand & clay. These materials compact very easily, especially as you mow your lawn, children and dogs play, and just good old-fashioned gravity. Deep Core Aeration or Lawn Aeration is the process of poking holes in your lawn and removing small soil and thatch plugs using an aeration machine that has several rows of hollow spikes/tines.  Just like any plant, grass roots cannot thrive in tight compacted soil; grass needs air, water, nutrients, and room to grow. By pulling out these small soil plugs from the lawn you’re enhancing thatch breakdown and de-compacting soil allowing air, water, and nutrients to easily reach the roots. Aeration holes in your lawn allow room for grass roots to fill in and become thicker, deeper, stronger, and more stress resistant, improving tolerance for cold, heat, and drought. Best of all aeration helps save money on your water bill by being able to water more efficiently with all those holes and loose soil!

At Intermountain Lawns we want to treat your lawn like our own. We are not a large company that offers expensive chemical fertilizing programs that are unhealthy for children & pets. Fertilizing during key times throughout the season with a good granular product builds deep roots to keep grass resilient for Colorado temperature changes. We offer a base fertilizing schedule of 4 times per season. 1 Spring & 1 Fall application that pairs nicely with Aeration for building those deep healthy roots. 1 Early Summer & 1 Late Summer that keeps your lawn fed well all summer. Our brand of fertilizer is called Super Crop, blended in locally in Henderson Colorado.  It is all-natural nutrients and does not have any chemical weed controlling agents. 20-20-10:  20 parts Nitrogen, 20 parts Phosphate, 10 parts Potassium. Nitrogen is natural lawn food however the Phosphate and Potassium is what really helps with root growth. Super Crop carries higher amounts than big box store fertilizer. Store bought fertilizer is usually almost all nitrogen that feeds the blades of grass only to give the appearance of well-fed grass but doesn’t do much for the roots.  Building nice roots in Colorado helps choke out weeds naturally and really helps keep grass resilient for Colorado’s extreme temperature changes throughout the year. Of course, like every Fertilizer it needs watered in as soon as possible after application!

Now for Optional Over-Seeding. We can’t let those fresh holes go to waste!! We fill those holes with a perfect seed blend of Sports Turf Grass Seed by Vitality. Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass combined & designed for the durability of a sports field, resilient to harsh Colorado temperature changes and rough play, yet looks beautiful and livens up your lawn with a deep, rich color. Fertilizing and Over-Seeding together can be tricky if you’re not using the correct fertilizer. High Nitrogen store bought fertilizer will inhibit new grass from sprouting, but with our lower Nitrogen and higher Potassium Super Crop, it reacts amazingly with the Fescue and Rye germinating quickly to shade the incoming Diva of Grasses, the usually sensitive and high maintenance, Kentucky Blue Grass. Sports Turf is designed to look amazing while requiring less water. Overseeding every Spring & Fall will keep your lawn “filled in” and lush, combined with Super Crop Fertilizer you’ll have the deepest, greenest, most beautiful lawn on the block!!

Just add water… and leave the rest to us!

 At Intermountain Lawns we want to keep lawns healthy, beautiful, and free of messy shoes. We can give you a worry-free, spotless yard by handling dog poop removal with the same consistency and care as we do our mowing services.

We provide reliable dog poop pick up services that help eliminate odors, prevent buildup, and keep your outdoor spaces clean and usable year-round. When combined with our mowing services, you can avoid the hassle of coordinating two separate companies.

If a scoop service cannot arrive before mowing, mowers are forced to work around hidden messes while trying to maintain clean lines. On the other hand, if grass is not freshly mowed, scoop services can miss piles that are hidden in taller grass. By offering both services, we eliminate this problem entirely.

We are also happy to provide dog poop pick up as a standalone service without requiring mowing. Since we are already servicing neighborhoods regularly, scheduling is flexible and reliable either way.

Let us help keep your outdoor spaces clean, safe, and ready to enjoy without the hassle.

Power Raking or “dethatching” a lawn is a grass area specific service we only perform in the Spring.

Power Raking can be performed in late Fall or early Spring. Unfortunately, with September / early October being the optimal time Aeration, Fertilizer, & Over-Seed in the Fall we typically don’t have time to Power Rake while still committed to our Mowing Services through October. Spring works just as well for Power Raking if not better as it promotes a nice Spring green-up by removing debris and letting air move into the root zone and warming the turf. Fall Power Raking can sometimes be counterproductive as grass could get lost or more debris could settle over the winter creating more work in the Spring to rake again.

A Power Rake Machine is a motorized rake in which the underside has vertical spinning teeth, keep in mind, it is still a machine and doesn’t differentiate between turf so it can sometimes “rip” or “tear” grass. Power Raking too deep can be damaging to the lawn making longer recovery time which is another reason why Spring can be the best time to perform. It can be adjusted in depth and motor speed to help avoid damage but is important to combine with Aeration, Fertilizer, & Over-Seed to replenish grass that can get lost during the process or grass that gets lost naturally over the winter (Winter Kill). Power Raking done properly will lift matted turf and remove unbroken down dead debris such as old dead grass, leaves, fallen twigs, pinecones, etc. from ABOVE your lawn’s Root Zone. A Power Rake can only lift dead debris from ABOVE the Root Zone.

Sometimes Power Raked debris can be called thatch (de-thatching) but below your lawn’s Root Zone is actually called the “Thatch Layer”. If a lawn is truly carrying excess Thatch below the Root Zone the Power Rake is actually not the correct tool to use, an Aerator would be the proper tool to penetrate through the Root Zone and into the Thatch Layer below to pull out excess thatch (root balls). Power Raking is not very crucial or as important as Lawn Aeration for most lawns, however, some lawns it could be absolutely essential. If water doesn’t want to penetrate the surface of the lawn through excess dead debris to get down to the roots it can “pool” on the surface causing a disease called Necrotic Ring Spot or Mold. If the lawn has been getting mowed too high or clippings have been mulched in consistently when the lawn was too long it can cause areas of good green grass to struggle to get through the dead debris, choke out, and die. Some lawns are just naturally too thick and just need a good thin out so nutrients can reach the roots more efficiently. Power Raking allows for deeper Lawn Aeration holes by removing a thick layer allowing the aeration machine less material to penetrate through to get to the soil.

When completed you will see all the buried debris that has been brought to the surface in which we then blow off, hand rake, and/or mow all the debris off the surface. The process usually takes between an hour or two, in which raking by hand with a metal thatch rake could take someone several weekends! When completed your lawn is clean and fresh like a vacuumed carpet, free of all that debris. Spring Debris i.e., dead grass from Power Raking, is usually bagged and left on your property for your own residential trash service. If requested, we can haul away with an additional cost. Spring Power Rake Debris is typically minimal but hard for us to take with us as we’re usually loaded with equipment in the Spring and have limited space.

Leaf Pick Up is a crucial component to the health of your lawn while keeping neighbors happy.

At Intermountain Lawns we want to save you time to concentrate on more important things. Spring & Fall Leaf Pick Up can be a very daunting & time-consuming task but a crucial component to the health of your lawn and your neighbors happiness. Un-picked up leaves can damage underlying grass during the winter by depriving it of essential water, oxygen & sunlight, even though grass is dormant and doesn’t require full amounts compared to the growing season, it still requires some. Excessive amounts of un-picked up leaves can create thatch in your lawn. Dead grass, leaves, and other material break down over time, but excessive amounts won’t break down quickly and will work their way past the surface layer of your lawn, through your grass layers, and down to the root zone where grass meets the soil surface. This harms your lawn by “choking” healthy grass.

If not for your lawn, Pick Up leaves to help keep your house clean from tracking in debris or neighbors happy from leaves blowing onto their property. We tailor Leaf Pick Up to your needs such as, Fall you may want to keep leaves in Garden & Shrub areas to help protect plants during the winter, versus Spring you may want leaves in these areas removed. Wherever it’s desired, full property, from “Corner to Corner”, we will get over and under the areas you prefer, Lawn, Shrubs, Garden, Entryways, Decks, & Street Curbing. For the grass areas in the Spring, it can also involve Power Raking if requested.

No matter the reasons, to keep your cost low with a Spring or Fall Leaf Pick Up we will get as many leaves as possible quickly & efficiently by blowing, raking, mowing all areas of the property. Fall Debris from Clean Ups (leaves / pine needles) are automatically hauled and dumping charges are already included in the hourly rate.
