Lawn Care & Landscaping in Sheboygan, WI

Weekly mowing, mulch and rock, seasonal cleanups, hardscaping and snow removal for Sheboygan homes and businesses — from a family-run crew that lives here.

Sunny Stripes is based in Sheboygan County and Sheboygan is our home city. That is not a marketing line about "serving the greater area." It means our trucks are already on your side of the county, we know which streets flood in a spring thaw, and when you call about a storm we are not driving in from Fond du Lac.

What Sheboygan lawns actually need

Lawns here are cool-season grass on heavy clay, a mile or two off Lake Michigan. That combination sets the whole schedule:

• The growth surge is May and June. Weekly mowing is not upselling in those months, it is the only way to stay inside the one-third rule and avoid scalping the lawn. Growth slows in July heat, then picks up again in September.
• Clay compacts. Water and fertilizer sit on top instead of reaching the roots. Core aeration in early fall is the single highest-return thing most Sheboygan lawns get all year, and it is the right moment to overseed because the seed drops straight into the holes.
• The lake changes the calendar. Spring comes later within a few miles of the water and fall hangs on longer. We schedule the first cut and the last cleanup off what the ground is doing, not off a date on a calendar.
• Leaves cannot sit. Wet leaves mat down, smother the crown and invite snow mould over winter. We make multiple passes through October and November instead of one late scramble.

Services we run in Sheboygan

Lawn care and mowing

Weekly or bi-weekly mowing with the striped finish we are named for, plus trimming, edging and a full cleanup every single visit. No clippings blown into the beds or left in the street. We run quiet battery equipment where we can, which matters more than you would think on a tight city lot at 7am. More about our mowing service.

Fertilization, weed control and aeration

A season-long program timed to the Wisconsin growing season rather than a single application: pre-emergent before crabgrass germinates, targeted treatment for the creeping charlie that thrives in our shadier older neighbourhoods, and core aeration with overseeding in the fall recovery window.

Mulch, decorative rock and garden beds

Beds re-edged with a cut spade line, then mulch or rock installed to proper depth over prepped ground — not dumped on top of last year's. We deliver, spread and clean up. Bulk material delivery is available on its own if you would rather do the spreading yourself.

Spring and fall cleanups

Spring: winter debris, matted grass, salt damage along the drive, beds cut back and re-edged so the season starts clean. Fall: leaves off the turf before they mat, perennials cut back, everything hauled away. Both book up fast — spring in April, fall in October.

Hardscaping

Retaining walls, patios, walkways, steps and bed edging built on a compacted base at frost depth with real drainage behind the wall. That base work is the unglamorous part and it is the entire difference between a patio that lasts ten years and one that heaves in its second spring.

Snow and ice removal

Plowing, shovelling and ice control on a set trigger depth, residential and commercial, on seasonal contracts or per push. The same crew that mows your lawn in July clears your drive in January — so nobody has to be told twice where the sprinkler heads are.

Why Sheboygan homeowners hire us

• Every visit is finished, not just done. Edging and cleanup are part of the job, not an add-on line item.
• Quotes come from a site visit. We look at your property before we give you a number, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay.
• One crew, four seasons. Mowing in May, mulch in June, leaves in October, plowing in January — one company, one phone number.
• Family-run and fully insured. Sunny Stripes started with a kid who loved mowing lawns. It is still the same family.

Common questions about lawn care in Sheboygan

How much does lawn mowing cost in Sheboygan?

It depends on lawn size and terrain. Send us your address and we will quote it — usually within a couple of days, and for most properties we do not need a visit first.

When does the mowing season start and end here?

Typically late April or early May through late October, depending on the spring and how long the fall holds. We watch the ground rather than the calendar, and we will tell you when your lawn is ready rather than starting the meter early.

Weekly or bi-weekly?

Most Sheboygan County lawns need weekly cuts from May through September. Bi-weekly works for slower-growing or heavily shaded properties — we will recommend what fits yours rather than what bills best.

Do I need a contract?

We will agree on a seasonal schedule, but we earn the next season by how we handle this one.
