Professional Lawn Care in Joplin

Beyond the green landscapes and hills of Joplin are lawns in need of frequent care and maintenance. Perhaps yours is one of them. We know it’s hard to make time for lawn chores with so much to do in Go Town USA. Plus, the hot, humid summers and freezing winters make things hard on you and your turfgrass.

Don’t break a sweat trying to do lawn care on your own this year. LawnStarter’s pros are here to help you keep your lawn in tip-top shape. We’ll mow, aerate, weed, and fertilize your grass to keep it looking its best year-round.

Here’s what lawn care in J-Town looks like:

Your Grass Type Matters

Most Joplin grass types are cool-season, meaning that they thrive in cooler weather. Bermudagrass is a warm-season grass that also grows well in this south Missouri region.

Each grass has different needs. Our pros know what it takes to get the best from each variety:

  • Kentucky bluegrass: It’s a cold-tolerant, dense grass that prefers well-drained soil. Fertilize it frequently and mow it between 2.5 and 3.5 inches.
  • Fine fescue: This shade-tolerant grass does great when mixed with Kentucky bluegrass and adapts to various soil types. Mow it between 2.5 and 4 inches.
  • Tall fescue: It’s a low-maintenance grass that grows well alone and prefers well-drained soil. However, it adapts to various soil types. Mow it down to 2 inches when it hits 3 inches.
  • Perennial ryegrass: It grows fast, resists stressors, and does well in well-draining, loamy soil. Fertilize it well, mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, and watch out for lawn diseases.
  • Bermudagrass: This warm-season grass grows rapidly, especially in well-draining, sandy loam soils. Fertilize it regularly, and mow it between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.

How often should you mow? Mow at least once a week. If you have cool-season grass, you may need to mow more often during the growing season in the spring and the fall. The warm-season Bermudagrass grows more when the weather gets warmer in summer. Stop mowing your grass when it turns brown and dormant in the winter.

Other Services You May Need

Lawn care isn’t enough to create a dreamy, beautiful yard. Consider these services, too:

  • Landscape design and installation: Design your landscape the way you want with the help of our pros. They can install mulch, drainage systems, and plants perfect for Missouri.
  • Bush trimming: Keep your bushes neat and healthy with our regular trimming services.
  • Yard cleanups: Our pros will tidy up after autumn leaves, winter storms, and spring petals.

All of the above is a lot to handle unless you’re a pro. Make sure your lawn matches the local scenery without spending countless hours and endless effort trying to achieve it. Contact a pro for an instant quote. LawnStarter serves all of the Joplin metro area, from Airport Drive to Shoal Creek Estates.

Jessica A.'s Lawn Maintenance service result
Still some straggling pieces of grass along the driveway and sidewalk (but it was pretty long, so it may just take a couple of times to get a nicely defined edge).

Stephanie C.'s Lawn Mowing service result
Could you please provide me with a quote for maintaining the bushes in front of the house, as well as trimming the jasmine that grows along the fence? There are also a few short palm bushes that need the lower leaves trimmed off every now and again. They wouldn't need to be trimmed with every lawn service visit-but it would be nice if you could add that into my service. Please let me know. Thank you.
