Two European immigrants ready to put their "old country" skills to work, Joe and Sid started by providing services in landscape management to East Grand Rapids area residents. Soon the metropolitan area started to grow and Joe and Sid Gardeners experienced continued success, steadily growing along with it. Years later, in 1972, Sid's son Ed became involved full-time in their business. And, in 1979, they decided to change the company name to Tender Lawn Care - a name better reflecting the company's heartfelt commitment to its residential and commercial clients, its employees, and to the environment.
If mosquitoes are making it difficult for you to enjoy your outdoor space, it's time to consider enlisting professional services. At Tender Lawn Care, our fully-licensed and trained technicians apply only EPA approved products that kill existing mosquitoes and help keep new ones from migrating back to your property. Our one-time mosquito treatment is the perfect solution for those looking for mosquito control for a special event — like a wedding or an open house. Our techs apply treatment at the optimum time for effectiveness, keeping your special occasion free from these pesky bugs.
Lawn aeration is a service that increases roots exposure to these essential elements, breaking up compacted soil so that vital nutrients can best penetrate the root zone. While compacted soil is not unusual, it is problematic — it causes unhealthy roots and a myriad of other issues. Poor lawn maintenance, hard clay soil, or heavy foot traffic could be factors that contribute to lawn compaction problems. We will analyze your lawn and make recommendations based on soil quality, ensuring the best possible approach to soil cultivation.

From neatly manicured grass to rich, lush growth, a well-maintained lawn is a true investment in the value of your home. We offer a diverse selection of lawn maintenance services to keep your property looking crisp and clean all season long. Fertilizing and weed control are essential components for maintaining a lush green lawn. Soil that lacks the proper nutrients will produce a lawn that is thin, prone to weed issues, and susceptible to various diseases and insect problems.

Retaining walls add visual appeal to your property, but even more importantly they can mitigate the problem of eroding slopes - adding structure for safer, improved access to problem areas. If your land area is defined by steep incline or an eroding slope, your property might benefit from a retaining wall.

Tender Lawn Care utilizes various treatment methods to best suit the needs of your planting beds.

After a horrible experience with another local company, we switched to TLC. We couldn't be happier.

This includes the helpful office staff and especially tech, Alex A who has repeatedly been friendly and accommodating during lawn care at our home.
I would recommend Tender Lawn Care to anyone looking for snow removal services or anything they provide. They took great care of my needs and are very personal.
