Why Mitten Made
New business. Old-fashioned standards.
Mitten Made is a young company, and we're aware that means we have to earn every account. So we compete on the things that actually matter to a homeowner: showing up when we said we would, doing the detail work, and quoting a price we'll stand behind.
A schedule that holds
Same crew, same day, every rotation. You shouldn't have to wonder whether anyone is coming this week.
Genesee County only
We don't stretch across four counties and arrive late. Staying local is what lets us keep routes tight and show up on time.
Priced after we look
Every quote follows a free in-person walkthrough. The number we give you is the number you pay.
Straightforward terms
Cash, no contracts on standard residential maintenance, and no bundles you're pushed into. Stop whenever you like.
Our commitments
Five things we’ll hold to
Every lawn care company in the county has a satisfaction guarantee badge on its website. None of them say what would actually trigger it.
These are specific enough that you’d notice if we broke one. That’s deliberate — it’s the only kind of promise worth making.
You hear it from us first
If weather or equipment moves your service day, we tell you — you shouldn't be standing at the window wondering whether anyone is coming.
The quote is the price
What we write down after walking your property is what you pay. If the scope genuinely changes, we talk to you before doing the work, never after.
We don't mow saturated ground
Wet turf cuts unevenly and a mower on soft soil leaves ruts that take months to recover. We'd rather come back tomorrow than damage your lawn today.
If it's not right, we come back
Missed a strip, left an edge rough, blew clippings onto the drive — tell us and we'll return and fix it. No argument, no invoice.
We'll tell you what you don't need
If your beds don't need re-mulching this year, or the lawn can go another week between cuts, we'll say so. Selling you something that won't help is how a company gets one season out of a customer instead of ten.

- Step 4
We get to work

The Michigan lawn year
Timing is most of the job
March – April
Clear the winter off before anything else
Everything that sat on the lawn all winter has to come off before the turf can start growing. Matted leaves and debris block light and hold moisture against the crown, which is exactly how thin, patchy spots start.
Services in this window
What we do
- Full property cleanup of winter debris and matted leaves
- Cut back perennials and ornamental grasses
- Bed edges re-cut and redefined
- Debris hauled away rather than piled at the curb
- First mow once the grass is genuinely growing — not on a calendar date
May – June
Peak growth — the weeks that set up your whole season
Cool-season grass does most of its yearly growing right now. Mowing moves to a strict weekly rotation, and cutting at the right height here is what determines whether the lawn survives August or browns out.
Services in this window
What we do
- Weekly mowing on a fixed rotation
- Cut height held around three and a half inches to build root depth
- Trimming and hard edging on every visit
- Fresh mulch laid in beds before summer heat arrives
- Bed weeding and edge definition
July – August
Protect the lawn rather than push it
Michigan turf slows down and can go dormant in the heat. The instinct is to water and cut it harder; both make it worse. The right move is to reduce stress and let it coast until temperatures break.
Services in this window
What we do
- Mow height raised to shade the soil and slow evaporation
- Mowing frequency eased back as growth slows
- Bed weeding and in-season mulch touch-ups
- Edges kept sharp even while growth is slow
- Watering guidance — deep and infrequent, early morning
September – October
Start clearing before every leaf is down
Waiting for the last leaf turns one manageable job into a heavy, soaked mat in late November. Staged passes through the season keep the turf uncovered and the work far easier — and a lawn that goes into winter clean comes out of it clean.
Services in this window
What we do
- Leaf removal in staged passes rather than one late cleanup
- Mowing continues while growth picks back up in the cooler weather
- Bed cleanout ahead of winter
- Perennials cut back as they die off
- All debris hauled away
November – December
Close the property out clean
Anything left on the turf through a Michigan winter smothers it and invites snow mold. A final thorough cleanup before the ground freezes is what decides how the lawn looks in April.
Services in this window
What we do
- Final leaf removal down to bare turf
- Last mow taken slightly shorter to reduce matting under snow
- Debris cleared from foundation lines and gutter runs
- Yard waste hauled away — nothing left bagged at the curb
- Snow removal scheduling opens (service launching soon)
