Fall lawn care in Hopkins

Fall Lawn Care in Hopkins, MN

Leaf clean up, core aeration, over seeding, fall fertilizer and gutter cleaning for Hopkins yards before the snow flies.

Setting Hopkins lawns up for winter

Fall is the most important season for a Minnesota lawn, and Hopkins is no exception. Aerating, seeding and feeding the grass in September and October builds roots under the snow, and that is why a lawn comes back thick in April. Peter Doran Lawn has run fall routes through Hennepin County since 1993.

Our custom leaf vacuum system clears heavy leaf cover quickly, and gutter cleaning is done on the same visit so water runs away from the house all winter. Many Hopkins customers schedule two leaf clean ups, one in mid fall and a final clean up after the trees are bare.

The same crews also handle fall lawn care for Long Lake, Maple Grove and Medicine Lake, so Hopkins customers are never a special trip.

What Hopkins customers say

Crews are very professional and careful. I have a number of flower beds and they are always careful when mowing and trimming. Response to requests or emails is always quick.

M. Lockwood, Hopkins, MN

I had them do a spring and fall clean up of my yard and they did a fine job. I would hire them again because they stay in business and the work that they do to my yard is neat and clean. They also listen to me when we are on the phone together.

Fall lawn care in Hopkins: common questions

When is the best time to aerate in Hopkins?

Early September through mid October, while the soil is warm and the grass is still growing. Aeration and over seeding together give the best results.

How many leaf clean ups do I need?

One final clean up after the leaves are down is the minimum. Properties with mature oaks and maples in Hopkins usually book two, so the lawn is never smothered.

Can the fall clean up include the beds?

Yes. Cutting back perennials, clearing beds and a last edge can all be added to the estimate.
