Springfield, Michigan

A lawn that looks handled, every week of the season.

We mow, edge and keep the beds clean on a fixed weekly schedule from April through November. You get a text the night before we come.

Nate Vermeer started with one truck and eleven lawns. Fifteen seasons on, the promise holds: same crew, same day.

What we do

Four things, done properly, all season.

We do four things for homes and small commercial lots, and we have done them here since 2011.

Weekly mowing and edging

Mow, string trim, edge the walks and blow the clippings off the drive. Same crew, same day each week. Blades get sharpened every other week, so grass is cut rather than torn.

Mulch and bed work

We pull the old mulch, cut a fresh spade edge, pull weeds by hand, then install two to three inches of shredded hardwood or black dye.

Paver patios and walls

Patios, walkways and block retaining walls set on a compacted base, pitched away from the house. We build spring and fall, when the ground works.

Fall cleanups and snow

Leaf removal, bed cutbacks and gutter clearing from late October. Winter clients pay one fixed seasonal price, with the drive cleared before 7 a.m. after a two inch snow.

How it works

Three steps, then we are on your street.

No sales visit, no three hour estimate, no pressure to sign.

01

You call or send the form.

Tell us the address and what the property needs. If we already mow on your street, we price it from the truck.

02

We walk it with you.

Nate or the crew lead comes out, measures, checks the grade and drainage, and tells you what is worth doing this year and what can wait. Twenty minutes, no charge.

03

You get a price and a date.

One page, itemized, in writing. Weekly clients get a fixed day, a text the night before, and a bill at month end.

Neighbors

What people say after a few seasons.

Three long time clients, asked to be blunt.

We went through four lawn companies in nine years. Cedar and Stone is the first that never needed a reminder call. Same two guys, same Tuesday, edges dead straight.

Marcy FeldpauschLakeview, client since 2019

Nate talked me out of a retaining wall I did not need and fixed the grading instead. Saved me close to three thousand dollars, and the basement stayed dry.

Doug KamphuisPennfield, client since 2017

They rebuilt two beds and laid a paver patio off the back door in eight days. On the driveway by 7:30 every morning, swept before they left, and the final bill matched the estimate.

The patio work

A patio is a drainage project with pavers on top.

Most patio failures we get called to fix around Battle Creek are not bad pavers. They are a shallow base and no place for water to go. We dig out eight to ten inches, compact in lifts, pitch the surface away from the house and drain the low corner.

That takes longer and costs more up front. It also means you are not calling someone in five years to lift a settled corner.

Pricing

Straight numbers, before you commit.

Starting points for standard residential work in Springfield and Battle Creek. You get a written price after the walkthrough, and it holds unless you add work.

  • Weekly mowing and edging

    Most village lots land between $45 and $65 a visit. Corner lots, steep banks and fenced yards run higher. Trimming, edging and blowing off the drive are included.

    from$45per visit

  • Mulch installed

    That covers mulch, delivery, hand weeding and labor to spread it. A 1,200 square foot bed takes five to six yards. We measure it with you.

    from$95per yard, installed

  • Paver patios

    Excavation, base, compaction, pavers, edge restraint and polymeric sand are included. Walls, steps and lighting price separately.

    from$18per square foot

What moves the number

Property size, gate width, slope, square feet of bed, and how much debris leaves with us. All of it goes on the written estimate.

Questions

The things people ask before they book.

Do I have to sign a season contract for mowing?

No. Weekly mowing is month to month. Most clients stay because the schedule holds, not because of paper. To stop, give us two weeks notice.

What happens when it rains on my day?

We push to the next dry day and text you. If the week gets away from us, we come Saturday morning at no extra charge.

Do you bag the clippings?

On request, yes. Standard cuts return clippings to the lawn, which is better for it in July. If you prefer bagged, say so.

How far out are you booked?

Spring cleanups and mulch run two to three weeks out by April. Patios book six to eight weeks ahead for a May start. Snow contracts get signed in October.

Can I get just a fall cleanup?

That is fine. One time cleanups are welcome with no mowing commitment, from late October into early December, weather depending.
