Lawn Maintenance Guide: From Patchy to Pristine in Portland

Every homeowner wants a lush, green lawn—but maintaining it requires more than just occasional mowing. It takes strategy, skill, and consistency to ensure healthy grass, tidy edges, and a yard that adds to your property’s curb appeal. At Ground Up Services, we’ve been providing expert-level lawn maintenance service in the Portland Metro area since 2001—and we’ve built a reputation on results you can see.


Why Lawn Maintenance is a Smart Investment

A neglected lawn can quickly spiral into bare patches, weed invasions, and poor soil health. Regular lawn maintenance helps:

  • Extend the life and vibrancy of your turf

  • Prevent costly restoration or renovation work

  • Improve drainage and reduce erosion

  • Create a safe, clean environment for families and pets

When you partner with our experienced team, you’re not just maintaining grass—you’re protecting your outdoor investment.
