Lawn Care & Pressure Washing in Herrin, IL Park Avenue to your back yard.

Herrin is mostly houses, and houses are what we mow, wash and clean up after.

Herrin is mostly houses.

About three of every four homes are single-family and detached, and about two thirds are owner-occupied.

That is a lot of yards with one household taking care of each.

Most of the work here is the plain kind: mow it, clear it, wash it.

From Marion it is about 14 minutes by IL 37 and IL 13, then north on Park Avenue.

City Hall and the Park Avenue (IL 148) storefronts are what you see downtown.

The median Herrin home was built in 1969. That is older than Marion or Carbondale.

Older homes mean older siding, older roofs and older gutters.

All three collect more over the years. Walk the outside and see which one bothers you most.

The yard

Herrin lawns and yards

Houses from around 1969 tend to sit on lots with grown trees.

Grown trees mean leaves, and leaves mean fall cleanups.

We rake and blow the leaves so the grass underneath gets light before winter.

Tell us if you want them hauled.

The soil is the same story as the rest of the area.

Slow-draining subsoil stays wet in spring and turns hard in summer.

Fall aeration helps. So does overseeding tall fescue after it.

Keep new seed moist for about two weeks. We also mow, fertilize and clear snow.

The house

Washing in Herrin

Older siding collects more.

Vinyl greens on the shady side, brick steps hold moss and concrete walks darken.

A house wash takes most of it off, and the house looks newer for it.

Tell us if something is stained, not just dirty.

Roof streaks are algae, and the spores travel by wind.

A streak on one roof often shows up on the next one.

Gutters under old trees fill fast.

Ask about the roof, gutters, driveway and deck in one call.

It is easier to do the whole house while the equipment is there.

Pour house and vinyl fence looks so good since we had it cleaned. The price was right and the service was great. Great job.
