The zip codes spread across 46259, 46239, 46237, 46203, and 46107, and the properties range from tight suburban lots to larger parcels with mature trees, grade changes, and decades of soil compaction.

Mowing and edging, fertilization and weed control, lawn aeration, sod and seeding, mulch and bulk rock, flower bed edging, hedge trimming, retaining walls, leaf and brush removal, gutter cleaning, power washing, and snow removal.
Built for Southeast Indianapolis Lawns
Properties in Franklin Township vary significantly by neighborhood. Older lots in South Franklin and Galludet often have compacted soil, heavy clay, and tree canopy that limits sun and increases leaf volume in fall. Newer development in Poplar Grove and South Emerson deals with builder-grade installs that need a real program to thicken up.
We assess what the property actually needs at the first visit and build from there. Wanamaker and Acton properties on larger lots get the same attention we bring to smaller suburban yards in South Perry and Southdale.
