What Franklin does

Pick as many as you need when you sign up. They all land on one proposal.

Mowing

On a schedule that fits the yard and the budget, or once when it's gotten away from you.

  • Weekly
  • Every 2 weeks
  • One-time

Aeration

Core aeration pulls plugs of soil out of the lawn so air, water and seed can get down to the roots. Compacted yards, clay, heavy foot traffic: this is the fix.

Overseeding

Thickens a thin lawn and fills the bare spots. In Missouri the seed goes down in fall, right behind the aerator. Spring seedlings usually lose to the summer heat.

Stump grinding

Grinds the stump down below the grass line, so you can mow right over the spot, plant over it, or forget the tree was ever there.

Commercial lots too. Pick Commercial when you sign up.

Questions people ask

Does it cost anything to sign up?
No. Signing up is a request for a price, not a purchase. You don't add a card until you've seen the proposal and decided to go ahead.
How fast do I get a price?
Usually the same day. Franklin sends it by text or email, whichever you picked.
When do I pay?
When you approve the proposal, you add a card. Nothing gets scheduled before that, and the price on the proposal is the price.
Do I need to be home?
Not if the crew can get to the yard. Put gate codes, dogs and parking notes in your signup so they know what they're walking into.
My yard is way overgrown. Can you still do it?
Yes. Pick Emergency on the timing step and Franklin prioritizes it. Same for closings, showings and events.
I don't know how big my yard is.
Best guess is fine. A typical city lot is under a quarter acre. A quarter to a half acre is medium, more than that is large. Franklin confirms it before he prices it.
When should I aerate and overseed?
Fall, with September the best month for cool-season lawns in Missouri. Seed needs four to six weeks of growth before the first hard frost, and spring seeding usually loses to summer heat. Source: University of Missouri IPM.
Do you do commercial properties?
Yes. Pick Commercial as the property type when you sign up.

Let's get you striped.

About a minute to sign up. A real price back, usually the same day.
