Lawn & Maintenance

A Healthy Lawn is a Happy Lawn

Your outdoor space is more than just grass and shrubs, it’s an extension of your home. It’s where your children play, where neighbors gather, and where you go to unwind after a long day. Your lawn is one of the first things people notice about your home. A beautiful, well-maintained yard doesn’t just make your property look good, it creates an environment you can truly enjoy.

At John Franklin Landscapes, we understand that maintaining a lawn in North Georgia isn’t always easy. The changing seasons, heavy rains, hot summers, and clay-based soil can make it difficult to keep your yard healthy and vibrant year-round. That’s why we offer comprehensive lawn and landscape maintenance services that take the guesswork and hassle out of yard care.

Our team provides everything from weekly mowing and edging to fertilization, weed control, seasonal cleanups, and irrigation checks. We believe that when your yard is properly maintained, it adds lasting value to your property and peace of mind for you as a homeowner. Whether you need routine upkeep or a full maintenance plan tailored to your property, we’re here to keep your lawn thriving.

Why Regular Maintenance
Matters for you

A lawn isn’t something you set and forget. Grass, trees, and shrubs are living systems that require ongoing attention. Without proper maintenance, even the most beautiful landscape can quickly become overgrown, patchy, or stressed.

Regular lawn care ensures:

Stronger, healthier grass that resists weeds and pests.
Increased property value thanks to consistent curb appeal.
Fewer costly repairs — preventing issues like dead patches, erosion, or irrigation problems.

More free time for you, since we handle the hard work.

Our Lawn & Landscape Maintenance Services

At John Franklin Landscapes, we offer a full suite of services to keep your yard looking fresh and healthy. Each service is tailored to your property’s specific needs:

01

Mowing & Edging

Consistent mowing is the foundation of a great lawn. Our team cuts your grass to the proper height, keeping it uniform and preventing stress on the turf. We edge along driveways, sidewalks, and flower beds for a crisp, finished look.

02

Seasonal Cleanups

Leaves, branches, and debris can make even the best-kept lawn look messy. We provide fall and spring cleanups to prepare your yard for each season, including leaf removal, mulching, and pruning.

03

Mulching & Bed Care

Fresh mulch not only improves appearance, it also helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and suppress weeds. We maintain flower beds by refreshing mulch, cleaning out weeds, and adding seasonal plants.

04

Shrub & Hedge Trimming

Overgrown shrubs and hedges can block sunlight and overshadow your landscape. We trim and shape them for a clean look and healthy growth.

05

Fertilization & Weed Control

Grass and plants need the right nutrients to thrive. We apply professional-grade fertilizers and eco-friendly weed control solutions to keep your lawn lush without harming the environment.

06

Irrigation Checks & Adjustments

A healthy lawn depends on proper watering. Our team inspects irrigation systems, adjusts sprinkler heads, and ensures coverage is even across your property.

07

Aeration & Overseeding (Optional Add-On)

Over time, soil can become compacted, preventing air and water from reaching roots. Aeration relieves this, while overseeding fills in bare spots for a thick, vibrant lawn.

Seasonal Lawn Care in North Georgia

Because of Georgia’s climate, your lawn needs different care throughout the year. Each season brings unique challenges, from spring growth and summer heat to autumn leaves and winter dormancy. Our team understands how to adapt your maintenance plan so your property stays healthy and attractive no matter the season.

Spring: Cleanup, mulching, fertilization, and prepping irrigation systems to kick-start growth and prepare for warmer months.
Summer: Regular mowing, weed control, and monitoring for drought stress to keep your lawn lush even in the heat.
Fall: Aeration, overseeding, and leaf removal to strengthen roots, repair thin areas, and protect your lawn before winter.
Winter: Pruning shrubs and trees, preparing beds, and ensuring your lawn rests properly so it can bounce back strong in spring.

By tailoring our care to the seasons, we keep your lawn looking polished year-round while also protecting its long-term health.

Customized Maintenance Plans

No two properties are the same, and neither are their maintenance needs. That’s why we offer fully customized lawn care plans designed around your property’s unique size, layout, and features. A smaller residential yard may only require light, consistent upkeep, while larger or more complex landscapes often benefit from more frequent, detailed attention.

We work with you to understand your goals, whether that’s keeping your grass neatly trimmed week after week, preparing your property for seasonal changes, or maintaining a polished look for a commercial space. From weekly visits that keep your lawn in top condition to biweekly schedules or occasional seasonal cleanups, our team builds a plan that fits both your property and your lifestyle.

Every plan is structured to give you convenience without compromising results. You’ll always know what to expect and when, while our crew ensures your lawn receives the right care at the right time of year. The result? A landscape that looks cared for consistently, without you needing to think twice about it.
