We have been using Collins Lawn and Maintenance for 2 years, and Ed is professional and always does a great job. He is very timely and shows up each week to mow the lawn and our lawn always looks great. He also maintains/repairs the sprinkler system when needed and does annual fall clean up of the trees/shrubs. We really appreciate Ed and his team, and highly recommend them if you need mowing services.

I contacted Collins Lawn and Maintenance in addition to 7 other landscape maintenance companies. Collins was the only one to respond. They called and left a voicemail saying they had limited capability and were only considering jobs on the East side of Bend, which leaves me out because my home is located out of that area. They also directed me to a website listing other landscaping companies. These people are unique.They go beyond being good business people. They are also good neighbors and good human beings.

Core Aeration and Dethatching

Program

Core Aeration is actually a way of cultivating your lawn by removing "plugs" of soil and leaving behind small perforations in the earth. These plugs are left on the surface. The Dethatcher breaks down the plugs, thereby creating a top-dressing for the lawn with organic matter which allows for root and new shoot development.

Advantages of Core Aeration Increases water and air movement in the soil

• Relieves soil compaction and allows products to reach the root zone

• Helps prevent thatch buildup performed in conjunction with overseeding

• Increases turf development

Aeration is ideal for all homeowners regardless of the condition of your present lawn. This is a fast and easy way to produce a healthy lawn by attacking cultural problems such as soil compaction and thatch accumulation.

Over seeding is preferred with this option. Continuing with the annual treatments is always recommended for producing the best long range results.

Fertilization after core aeration is available upon request for an additional charge.

All debris is removed from the property.

This service is only offered in the Spring.

Initial Clean Up/One Time Cleanups and Yard Debris Hauling:

This service is a one time property clean up for the season, events, parties, family gatherings, pine needle/pine cone and yard debris removal. One time cleanups vary depending on your needs, but generally remove all debris from the grounds, trimming, edging, mowing.

The initial and end of year clean ups for weekly clients (if needed) come at an additional charge.

Events:
