Lawn Care Services
in the Twin Cities
Professional lawn maintenance for commercial and residential properties across the Twin Cities metro. Consistent crews, reliable schedules, results that hold up to Minnesota's demanding climate.
Comprehensive Lawn Maintenance
A well-maintained lawn doesn't happen by accident. It takes consistent attention, the right timing, and crews who understand how cool-season grasses behave through Minnesota's spring frost, summer heat, and fall transition. At Ristau Property Maintenance, we've been providing professional lawn care to commercial and residential clients across the Twin Cities suburbs since 2007, and our approach is built on precision and reliability.
Whether you manage a commercial office park in Eagan, own retail space in Burnsville, or are a homeowner anywhere across the Twin Cities suburbs looking for consistent weekly service, our lawn care programs are designed to keep your property looking its best without you having to think about it.
Weekly Mowing & Trimming
We mow at the correct height for your turf type and the season, alternating patterns to prevent rutting and promote upright growth. Every visit includes trimming around beds, structures, and obstacles, and blowing down hard surfaces. No half-finished jobs and no skipped edges.
Edging
Clean, crisp edges define the difference between a lawn that looks tended and one that looks overgrown. We edge along sidewalks, driveways, and planting beds regularly, keeping the clean lines that make a property stand out. Commercial properties especially benefit from consistent edging as it sets the tone for the entire site's appearance.
Spring & Fall Cleanup
Spring cleanup removes the debris, dead material, and winter residue that accumulates after a Minnesota winter. We clear leaves, sticks, and matted grass to give your lawn room to breathe and grow. Fall cleanup is equally critical: thorough leaf removal prevents smothering and disease, and prepares the turf to go dormant cleanly. These seasonal services are two of the highest-value investments you can make in your lawn's long-term health.
Aeration
Soil compaction is a serious problem for lawns in the Twin Cities, especially on commercial properties with foot traffic and clay-heavy soils. Core aeration pulls small plugs of soil from the ground, opening channels for water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the root zone. We time aeration to your turf's growth cycle, typically in late summer or early fall for cool-season grasses, when recovery is fastest. Paired with overseeding, aeration can transform a thin, struggling lawn into a thick, resilient stand of grass.
Dethatching
When the thatch layer between your soil and turf becomes too thick, your lawn effectively suffocates. Water and nutrients can't penetrate to the roots, disease becomes more likely, and the turf begins to thin. Our dethatching service removes excess thatch buildup and restores the healthy connection between your turf and the soil it depends on.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will you mow my lawn?
We offer weekly mowing schedules for both residential and commercial clients. Consistent mowing at the right height keeps your turf healthy and your property looking sharp all season long. We can also accommodate bi-weekly schedules depending on your property type and growth rate.
When is the best time to aerate in Minnesota?
Fall aeration is the most effective for cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and tall fescue, which are common across Twin Cities metro lawns. Aerating in late August through early October lets your turf recover and fill in before winter. We can pair aeration with overseeding for maximum results.
What is dethatching and does my lawn need it?
Thatch is the layer of dead grass stems and roots that builds up between your soil and living turf. When thatch exceeds about half an inch, it blocks water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots. We inspect your lawn and recommend dethatching when it will make a meaningful difference for your turf health.
Do you handle spring and fall cleanup?
Absolutely. Spring cleanup includes removing winter debris, dead plant material, and any buildup from snow season. Fall cleanup focuses on thorough leaf removal and preparing your property for winter. Both services set up your lawn for a strong start in the next season.
Can you service commercial properties on a strict schedule?
Yes, and this is a strength of ours. We understand that commercial properties have expectations around appearance and timing. We operate Monday through Saturday and coordinate our schedules around your property's needs and any tenant or visitor considerations.
