Lupine Lawn Care - Durango's Best Landscaping

Our weekly maintenance program is designed for the health of your lawn, not just its appearance. We provide consistent mowing at the proper height to encourage deep roots, along with edging and trimming. More importantly, our team monitors your lawn's condition, checking for signs of stress, compaction, or pest issues common in our area. This proactive approach, combined with our organic fertilizer treatments, helps build a resilient turf that can better withstand Durango's climate.

These are common challenges for Durango properties. For tree root damage, we use a specialized approach called vertical mulching, which involves drilling holes in the affected soil to break up roots and improve air and water flow, followed by filling with a compost mix to nourish the area. For general soil compaction—a frequent issue here—our core aeration service is key. It pulls small plugs of soil to relieve compaction, allowing water, nutrients, and air to reach the grass roots. We often pair this with overseeding and topdressing to repair and thicken the lawn.

When owner Steve Polites took over in 2003, he was surprised by the lack of natural lawn care options in La Plata County. His vision was to cultivate truly healthy, sustainable turf. By 2004, after researching what would work best for our local soil, we committed to 100% organic fertilizer programs. We found organic products feed the soil ecosystem, leading to stronger grass that's more drought-tolerant and disease-resistant. This aligns with our commitment to a triple bottom line—good for your lawn, the local environment, and our community's well-being.
