Our services

Lawn Mowing, Edging & Blowing

We keep your lawn neat, healthy, and looking sharp. We carefully trim edges along sidewalks, driveways, and flower beds, then finish by blowing away clippings for a polished, clean look.

Dethatching

Over time, lawns can develop a layer of thatch — dead grass, roots, and debris that prevent nutrients from reaching the soil. Our dethatching service removes this buildup, helping your lawn breathe and absorb water and fertilizer more effectively.

Compacted soil makes it hard for grass roots to grow. Aeration creates small holes in the lawn to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots, resulting in stronger, greener, and healthier turf.

Overseeding

Is your lawn looking thin or patchy? Overseeding introduces fresh grass seed into existing turf, filling in bare spots and boosting lawn density for a thicker, more resilient yard.

Sod Installation

Need an instant lawn? Our sod installation service provides immediate curb appeal with healthy, mature grass. Perfect for new construction, major yard renovations, or quick transformations.

For a cost-effective option, we provide professional seeding combined with straw covering to protect and nurture growth. This method ensures strong root development and a healthy lawn over time.

Lawn Care

A healthy lawn doesn’t happen by accident — it takes the right balance of mowing, feeding, and seasonal care. At Southern Lawnworks we provide expert lawn care services that keep your grass green, thick, and thriving all year long.

Lawn Maintenance

Your landscape is more than just grass — it’s the beds, shrubs, and finishing touches that make your property stand out. Our landscape maintenance services keep everything neat, vibrant, and well-cared for, adding lasting beauty and curb appeal to your home.

Weeding

We’ll remove unsightly weeds from flower beds, walkways, and landscaped areas so your plants can thrive and your yard stays clean.

Mulching

A fresh layer of mulch adds beauty and curb appeal while also conserving moisture, reducing weeds, and protecting plant roots. We offer a variety of mulch types to match your landscape style.

Proper pruning keeps hedges and shrubs neat, healthy, and well-shaped. Our team trims with care to enhance the look of your property while encouraging strong, balanced growth.

Hedge & Shrub Trimming

Leaf Removal

Fallen leaves can smother grass and create an unhealthy environment. We offer seasonal leaf cleanup to keep your lawn healthy and your yard looking pristine.

Topsoil Refresh

Over time, soil quality can decline. We apply nutrient-rich topsoil to revitalize planting areas and improve drainage, ensuring long-term health for your lawn and landscaping.
