About us

Small company, short routes

We've turned down more work than we've taken in the last three years. That's the only reason your lawn gets cut on the same day every week.

How this started

Rick Delaney bought a used zero-turn in 2011 to cover a slow winter in the trades. Eleven properties that first summer, all within a mile of his house on Cedar Ridge Road.

Fifteen years later there are nine of us and we still run routes the same way: everything within about twenty minutes of the shop, so a crew that gets held up on one job isn't stealing from the next one. It's why we say no to work in the far suburbs, and it's why we can tell you on Monday what day your lawn gets cut.

Rick still walks most estimates himself. If you get a quote from us, you talked to the person whose name is on the truck.

How we work

Four things we won't bend on

The quote is the price

We walk the property before we give a number, so there's no reason to revise it later. If we got the estimate wrong, that's ours to eat — it has happened twice and we ate it both times.

No contracts, no auto-renew

We ask for the season because routing depends on it, but you can stop any week with a text. In February we ask whether you want us back. We don't just start billing you again.

We don't cut wet ground

Saturated turf tears and ruts, and the damage takes a month to grow out. If it rains on your day you get a text and we come the next dry one. You're never billed for a visit we didn't make.

We'll tell you not to buy something

Half the sod calls we get should be aeration and overseeding at a fifth of the price. We say so. It costs us money on the day and earns it back over the next decade.

Licensed, insured, and happy to prove it

We carry $2 million in general liability and full workers' compensation on every employee. Applicators are state certified and we're a licensed commercial pesticide applicator business.

Ask and we'll email the certificates the same day — your HOA or property manager can be named directly on them.
