Keep Your Lawn Clean & Healthy This Fall 🍂 | Wakem Lawn Care

Fall leaves look great in the trees, but left on your grass, they block sunlight, trap moisture, and smother your lawn before winter. Let us handle the heavy lifting!

We offer flexible fall cleanup options tailored to your yard:

Weekly Cleanups (Best Option!): We blow out garden beds, mow/mulch turf, and remove or dump leaves weekly. Keeps your lawn pristine and healthy all season without massive leaf piles.

2 or 3 Multi-Cleanups: Periodic bed blowouts, leaf removal, and final turf cuts spread throughout the season.

Curbside Vacuum Pickup: Rake your leaves to the curb, and our vacuum truck will roll up and handle the rest! (No sticks or trash, please)

Single Post-Thanksgiving Cleanups: A complete, one-time clear-out once all the leaves have finally fallen.

📍 Serving local yards with quality, reliable service.

Transforming this backyard into an outdoor oasis! 🌿✨

We’ve been busy giving this beautiful yellow home a major landscaping upgrade! Check out the progress photos below. We've laid a solid foundation for a beautiful and functional outdoor space that will grow with the seasons.

Here’s what we accomplished:

Clean Lines & Definition: Defined the landscape with meticulously edged beds and a clean drip edge, creating a tidy and professional look.
Material Magic: Topped the new beds with a sophisticated mix of stone and mulch for a durable, low-maintenance, and visually appealing finish.

Sustainable Spaces: Preserved the beauty of existing perennials by carefully moving them to new, optimal locations within the design.
Cobble Details: Used classic cobbles to create beautiful, distinct borders between different materials and to design elegant, functional gutter drops.

This is just the beginning! This landscape is designed to grow, and we’ll be adding even more colorful plants and greenery next year to complete the vision. We can't wait to see it in full bloom!
Thinking about giving your own yard a makeover? From initial design to material selection and installation, we can help you create the outdoor space of your dreams. Contact us today to discuss your next project!

We recently wrapped up a fun landscape transformation! Here is what went into this project:

🌿 Weeded and prepped the existing crushed stone area along the porch line.

✂️ Cut in brand new 30" deep planting beds featuring clean, radiused corners.

🌸 Planted a variety of fresh shrubs and flowers to add structure and seasonal color.

🌷 Tucked in nearly 100 spring bulbs—can't wait to see them burst into full bloom come spring!
What a difference clean edges and rich fresh mulch make for curb appeal! 🏡🌱

Another major commercial landscaping project wrapped up! 🌿

We recently partnered with ReinCorp on their Central Park development to handle a full-scale commercial planting and layout installation. From crisp mulched plant beds and ornamental grasses to trees and clean turf edging, our team ensured every square foot of this property looks sharp, inviting, and built to last.

Work performed included:

Perimeter & Border Plantings: Installed ornamental grass borders along property fences and parking areas for a clean, low-maintenance finish.

Building Foundation Beds: Layered mulch beds with perennial plantings and street-side trees along sidewalks and entryway alcoves.

Cleanup & Final Detailing: Power-blowing, site wash-downs, and final touches so the property was turn-key ready.

Shoutout to ReinCorp for trusting us with this project, and huge thanks to our crew for putting in the early mornings and hard work to pull it off! 💪

Excited to showcase our latest work on the Central Park project! 🌿✨

A huge shoutout and thank you to ReinCorp for giving us the opportunity to tackle all of these new plantings across the property. We love getting our hands dirty on project sites like this and bringing fresh green spaces to life!

Also, a big thank you to Patrick Smart and the crew at Smarty's Grass for the solid work on the sod and irrigation installation—it really tied the whole exterior together.

Teamwork makes the dream work! Check out a few progress shots from the job:

We did a few non-destructive lawn renovations today. One in Higgins Beach and another in town Kennebunk for our mowing clients.

Ever wonder why some lawns stay thick and deep green all summer long while others struggle?

At Wakem Lawn Care, it comes down to our mulch-first approach to weekly mowing.
Here is how we set your turf up to thrive:

Mulching for Natural Nutrition: Returning fine grass clippings back into the turf recycles vital nutrients, locks in soil moisture, and acts as a natural, free fertilizer.

Mowing Higher (3.5" to 3.75"): Instead of cutting at the old industry standard of 3 inches, we cut 0.5" to 0.75" higher. Taller grass shades out w**d seeds, promotes deeper root growth, and keeps your lawn resilient during hot spells.

Bagging Options Ready to Go: While mulching is best for turf health, every single crew carries commercial baggers. If heavily accumulated clippings need cleanup or a customer specifically requests bagging, we have you covered.

We also know that not every yard is built the same. That is why every crew keeps 21" push mowers on hand to easily navigate tight spaces, fenced-in pool areas, and extra-small gates without tearing up your property or forcing you to compromise on quality.

Give your lawn the tailored care it deserves. Contact Wakem Lawn Care today to get scheduled for the season!

From residential details to local historic landmarks, the crew has been staying busy across York County! 🪵✂️
Job 1: Custom Tree Shaping in Kennebunk
A client reached out wanting their crab apple tree "globed up" to bring back clean symmetry and boost front-yard curb appeal. Our team stepped up with ladders, precision trimmers, and a spotter on the ground to dial in a perfectly balanced canopy. Swipe to see that crisp profile and our zero-trace driveway cleanup!
Job 2: Planting Bed Rehab at Goodall Library in Sanford
We had the privilege of working at the historic Louis B. Goodall Memorial Library! We gave their main roadside beds a full overhaul—w**ding, defined edging, plant care, and fresh dark mulch to keep this town staple looking sharp for everyone stopping by.
