Complete Care for Your Lawn, Landscape & Fence
From weekly mowing to custom fence installation, one reliable team handles every detail of your property, done right and done on schedule.
Most homeowners juggle a lawn company, a landscaper and a fence contractor. With Leon’s, it’s one call. We take care of your yard and the fence around it with the same attention to detail, so your entire property looks finished, cared for and valuable.
A Lawn That Always Looks Done
A beautiful lawn is not about one great cut. It's about consistency. We keep your lawn on a dependable schedule so it looks sharp every single week, without you ever having to call and ask.
Our Expertise
- We mow cool-season grasses at a taller height, typically around 3 to 4 inches, which shades out weeds, holds moisture and keeps turf thick through summer heat.
- We never remove more than one-third of the blade at a time, which prevents stress, scalping and brown patches.
- Sharp blades for a clean cut. Dull blades tear grass and invite disease.
- We alternate mowing patterns to prevent ruts and soil compaction and to create crisp, professional striping.
- We adjust frequency with the season: more often during spring growth, less during summer heat and as growth slows in fall.
What’s Included
- Mowing
- Precision edging along sidewalks, driveways and curbs
- String trimming around beds, trees and fence lines
- Blowing off all hard surfaces
- Clippings handled cleanly
Best Time to Book
Spring, to lock in your spot on the weekly route for the season.
Start and Finish Every Season Right
Seasonal cleanups set the tone for your entire property. We clear what the season left behind and prepare your lawn and beds for what's next, then haul everything away.
Our Expertise
- Spring: we remove winter debris, fallen branches and matted leaves that block sunlight and smother new growth.
- We cut back last year's perennials and ornamental grasses at the right time so new growth comes in clean and full.
- We redefine bed edges and clean out beds, which makes a fresh layer of mulch look its best.
- Fall: we remove leaves before they mat down on the lawn, because a thick leaf layer over winter can smother turf and encourage disease.
- We cut back spent plants and tidy beds so your property heads into winter neat and protected.
What’s Included
- Leaf and debris removal
- Bed cleanout
- Cutting back perennials and ornamental grasses
- Edge redefinition
- Final blow-off
- Full haul-away, no piles left behind
Best Time to Book
Early spring (March–April) and mid-to-late fall (October–December).
The Fastest Way to Transform Your Curb Appeal
Fresh mulch instantly makes a home look cared for and high-end. Done right, it also protects your plants and cuts down on weeds all season long.
Our Expertise
- We clean out beds and cut a sharp, natural spade edge first. That crisp edge is what gives mulch its finished, professional look.
- We apply an even layer of about 2 to 3 inches: enough to suppress weeds and hold moisture without suffocating roots.
- No “mulch volcanoes.” We keep mulch pulled back from tree trunks and plant stems to prevent rot, pests and disease.
- We check existing mulch depth so beds don't build up year after year.
- Clean work: no mulch left on your lawn, walkway or driveway.
What’s Included
- Bed cleanout and weeding
- Sharp edge cutting
- Fresh mulch installation
- Proper spacing around trees and shrubs
- Full cleanup of walkways and lawn
Best Time to Book
Spring for a fresh start to the season. A fall top-up is also available.
Shaped, Healthy and in Proportion
Overgrown shrubs can make even a beautiful home look neglected. We shape hedges, shrubs and ornamental plants so they stay healthy, full and in balance with your home.
Our Expertise
- Timing matters. We prune spring-flowering shrubs right after they bloom so you don't lose next year's flowers, and we prune many summer-flowering shrubs in late winter or early spring.
- We avoid heavy pruning late in the fall, when new growth would not have time to harden off before winter.
- We use the right technique for each plant: crisp shearing for formal hedges, and selective thinning cuts for natural shrubs to let light and air into the center.
- We remove dead, damaged or crossing branches first, then shape for a full, balanced look.
- Clean, sharp cuts help plants heal quickly and grow back stronger.
What’s Included
- Hedge and shrub shaping
- Ornamental plant pruning
- Removal of dead or damaged growth
- Full cleanup and removal of all clippings
Best Time to Book
Late winter to early spring for most shrubs; after bloom for spring-flowering plants; early summer touch-ups to keep hedges sharp.
Fences Built Straight, Solid and to Last
A fence adds privacy, security and real value to your property. We help you choose the right style and layout, then build it with clean lines and tight workmanship.
Our Expertise
- Before any digging, we have underground utility lines marked through 811 to keep your property and our crew safe.
- We help you confirm property lines and check HOA rules and permit requirements before we start.
- We set posts deep and solid so your fence stays straight through our freeze-and-thaw winters, and we keep every post plumb and evenly spaced.
- We plan gate placement and swing direction around how you actually use your yard.
- We protect your lawn and landscaping during installation and leave the job site spotless.
What’s Included
- Consultation and layout
- Utility marking coordination
- Post setting
- Panel/picket installation
- Gate installation
- Full site cleanup and debris removal
Fence Styles: Wood privacy, picket, vinyl, aluminum, chain link and more.
Best Time to Book
Spring through fall. Book early in the season for the best scheduling.
First Impressions Start at the Curb
Your mailbox is the first thing people see from the street. We repair or replace damaged mailboxes and posts so the front of your property looks sharp.
Our Expertise
- We install to USPS guidelines: the box sits about 41 to 45 inches above the road surface and about 6 to 8 inches back from the curb, so your carrier can deliver easily.
- We set posts straight and solid so they stay put through weather and seasons.
- We repair leaning or damaged posts or replace them entirely, matching the look of your home.
What’s Included
