Easy, Affordable Lawn Care Services in Rochester

Rochester's winters can be brutal on your yard, and lawn care chores can keep you tied up on weekends during the spring, summer, and fall. It doesn't have to be this way. Our LawnStarter pros will mow, trim, and edge your lawn, so you don't have to.

Our Lawn Care Services: Mowing, trimming, edging, and lawn fertilization, aeration, and dethatching services. Weeds and leaves in your yard got you down? We’ll clean them cleaned up.

If that all sounds like a lot of work, it is.

Here's what you need to know about lawn care in Rochester:

Mowing Season: Depending on the weather, your lawn will need the first mow of the season sometime between early April and mid-May and weekly mows until mid-November.

Best Grass Types: Kentucky bluegrass, fine-leaf fescue, perennial ryegrass, and tall fescue.

Common Lawn Pests: Chinch bugs, grubs, sod webworms.

Common Lawn Diseases: Brown patch and dollar spot.

Lawn is in our name, but LawnStarter offers so much more.

Other Outdoor Services We Offer: Gutters need cleaning? We'll get your gutters unclogged. Leaf removal? We'll rake, bag, mulch, or blow away your leaves. Trees and bushes need trimming? We'll send a crew to your home. If you want a rock garden in your ROC yard, we'll send a landscaper.

If it's outdoors, we have a pro who is perfect for the job.
