Welcome To The Very Best Midwest Lawn Care Blog On The Planet!
My name is “Al” and I have spent hundreds of hours writing the articles and shooting and editing the videos contained on this site – all for you! You see, lawn care does not have to be a mystery, but it doesn’t have to kick you in the rear either: anyone can have a beautiful, healthy green lawn! On top of that, I just love lawn care man – like really love green grass; the more the better! I am the guy in your neighborhood that cuts his lawn with a pair of knitting needles… yep, that’s me… but I am also a lawn care pro; earning my living in the green industry since I was 14-years-old. (had a brief stint in the USAF and another in college, learn all about me here) On top of all that, I have a true passion for sharing my knowledge with you guys in a way that isn’t complicated or overly-detailed… just practical and simple enough to implement this weekend! cool right?
So what will you find here and where is it?
I have compiled some the the more popular lawn care articles in links below so you can get right to them. Some are pretty basic (but very important) while others tip-your-toes into the deeper ends of the lawn care pool… it’s all good in my hood too as some of the articles are just philosophical in nature, like why use organic fertilizers – I ain’t no nut case and stuff like that, but I think its important for you to understand why you apply certain stuff to your grass in addition to knowing “what” and “when.” – Enjoy!
