Michael did an AMAZING job! He removed trees and bushes, trimmed trees, weeded, mulched, and planted new bushes all in a single day. He cleaned everything meticulously. Our curb appeal increased in 24 hours exponentially. We then hired him for lawn service. Could not recommend more!

This spring we contracted with Nature's Edge Property Services. Every week he mows, edges and blows grass clippings. Our neighbors tell us our lawn has never looked this good. Highly recommended!

Our Story

Built from the ground up — one lawn at a time.

"We treat every lawn and landscape as if it were our own."

What began as a small high school venture for owner Michael VerHow has grown into a thriving, family-owned business proudly serving the east side of Rochester. We go the extra mile on every property — showing up on time, communicating clearly, and running clean, well-maintained equipment.

Day by day, job by job, we've built our reputation on hard work and quality results. It's why so much of our growth comes from referrals and neighbors who see our work and ask us to care for their property too.

Michael mowed our lawn for the first time this season and I was blown away during that first cut. He double cut it, spent 45+ minutes on our lawn, and clearly has a passion for quality lawn service.
