Peters Lawn Service

First and foremost, Peters Lawn Service is a maintenance company.
Through our experience in lawn and landscape maintenance, we have
gained the knowledge of what works and what doesn’t work in the
landscape. We are also experienced in the creation of native prairies
as a low maintenance alternative in the landscape.

Native Landscaping – A Low Maintenance Alternative

The North American Prairie once dominated the landscape in pre-settlement days and is responsible for producing the great soil of the Corn Belt today.

Today, the park like look of lawns has become the norm for the residential, rural and urban landscape. Lawn Care is the single most labor intensive part of maintaining a landscape and it requires fertilizer, pesticides and irrigation. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, going green in the lawn care industry means finding alternatives.

The long term savings of utilizing alternatives in the landscape should also be encouraged. The natural look of native plants provides the landscape with year round interest while increasing wildlife habitat. Native plants have adapted to our local climate for over a thousand years and, once established they do not require fertilizer, pesticides or irrigation. They are also valued for stabilizing the soil, and removing carbon from the air, helping to reduce greenhouse gasses.

Native Prairie Restoration

Peters Lawn Service can design, install and maintain a prairie garden that will fit into your lawn and landscape. From a small island garden, to a border adjacent your lawn, to a larger prairie restoration, we can create a short meadow, mixed height, or tall grass prairie. Once established, a low maintenance mix of perennial wildflowers and native grasses will provide your landscape with year round interest and will create a habitat for birds, butterflies and other wildlife in your yard.

Native plants adapt to poor soils and work well on septic drain fields or mounds. Native plants also work well as rainwater gardens in ditches or low lying areas where they can prevent runoff by capturing rainwater, a key aspect of green storm water management.
