Affordable Lawn Care in Ottawa

When you live in a city like Ottawa that’s surrounded by botanical parks, soaring trees, and scenic golf courses, having a beautiful lawn isn't an option.

LawnStarter offers professional lawn care services throughout Ottawa. Whether you need help with landscaping or mowing, our pros have you covered.

About Your Grass

Ottawa’s mild climate year-round creates a perfect environment for a range of grasses to thrive. Here are our top picks for creating a lush lawn in Illinois:

  • Kentucky bluegrass: Creates a thick carpet of beautiful dark green leaves but requires frequent mowing and fertilization. Mow to a height of 2.5 to 3.5 inches.
  • Fine fescue: Soft underfoot and requires little care. Mow between 2.5 and 4 inches.
  • Tall fescue: Looks beautiful and handles wear and tear well but requires frequent mowing. Mow to about two inches for healthy growth.
  • Perennial ryegrass: Fine-textured, dark green leaves look beautiful and handle foot traffic well. Mow between 1.5 and 2.5 inches.

Other Services We Offer

We offer a wide range of lawn care services, such as:

  • Fertilization: Keeps your grass lush and healthy.
  • Tree and shrub care: Keeps your plants healthy and enhances the aesthetics of your landscape.
  • Landscaping: Transform your backyard into a place you’ll love to hang out with family and friends.
  • Yard cleanup: Our pros can clean your yard and make it stand out in your neighborhood.
  • Pressure washing: Restores shine to your driveways and sidewalks.

LawnStarter can take care of all your lawn care needs while you spend your weekends having fun exploring Ottawa. Call, click, or download the LawnStarter app today to secure your free, personalized quote.

Lawn Mowing Weed Pulling
Gabriel Delgado - Delgadog's: I'm a 17 year old, still in school. I started mowing when I was younger and found it very fun and satisfying. Eventually, I picked a job for the City of Peru maintaining the Peru City Cemetery with a crew of people. The same repetitive lawn bored me, and now I am trying to supplement my income.
