Landscaping and Lawn Care in Kouts, IN

A Kouts property usually has more going on than a house and a lawn. There is a drive that runs a long way back, a barn or a pole building, a fence line with brush grown up in it, and a field edge that starts where the grass stops. When something goes wrong out here, it goes wrong over a lot of ground.

With flat farmland all around, wind has nothing to slow it. A summer storm can lay limbs across the drive, push brush against the fence and carry field debris into the yard in one pass. The ground is flat outwash plain heading toward the Kankakee River, sandy in places and slow to drain in the low spots, so a wet spring leaves soft ground that a loader has to cross carefully.

Cleanup work in Kouts follows three dates. The first is after the last freeze, when winter leaves, sticks and matted perennials need to come out and the beds get their edges cut again. The second is after any big storm, whenever it lands. The third is fall, when windbreak and yard trees drop what they carry. Leaves collect against fences and in yard corners, and clearing them before snow keeps them from smothering the turf all winter.

Cleanups, seasonal and storm, are what we list for Kouts. That covers leaves lifted off the turf and out of the beds, perennials and grasses cut back, sticks, limbs and storm debris gathered, beds cleaned out and edges re-cut, and everything loaded and hauled off in our dump trailer. For piles too heavy to drag by hand, the compact track loader does the lifting. Climbing tree removal and standing takedowns are not part of this work, and we will say so when a tree is still up.

Kouts is a drive from Valparaiso, so we plan the trip around the job. Send a photo of the damage or the pile to 219-299-4132 and we can tell you what it takes before we make the run.

Reach us on a weekday, seven to five, by call or text. We walk the property, judge the volume and the access, and give you one written price for the cleanup before anything starts, at no charge for the look. If the lawn needs weekly mowing once the cleanup is done, that can go on the schedule too.
