I’ve been using Garden Guys for the past year or so at my house and am very impressed by their service. Jack is very communicative and every person that comes to do work is always professional and the work, whether it be mowing or mulching, is always done to a high standard.

I can’t recommend tbe Garden Guys enough. They have helped me transform my entire yard. When I moved into my house, the grass was extraordinarily thin and there were invasive trees. Now I have a beautiful lush green yard, beautiful flowers, and healthy native trees. Thank you Jack and team!
( FAQ )
Lawn care questions
What does fall aeration include?
Core aeration, overseeding, and a watering plan. Fertilizer or a light topdress when the lawn needs it. See the dedicated aeration and overseeding page for timing and typical ranges.
When should you aerate in Maine?
September and October are the best weeks. Soil is warm, nights cool, and fall rain helps seed. We still take spring jobs; fall is the first recommendation.
Do you offer fall cleanup and dethatching?
Yes. Leaf removal, bed cleanup, cutbacks, and power raking when thatch is thick. Book the fall cleanup and dethatching page, or ask us to pair it with aeration.
How often should a Portland lawn be mowed?
Weekly in peak growth, then we stretch the schedule as growth slows. We cut to a height that keeps Maine turf dense and discourages weeds.
Do you fertilize and treat weeds?
Seasonal programs cover spring startup, summer feed, grub and weed control, and fall winterization. We build the plan around your lawn, not a one-size bag.
