Hey there—I’m Lance Britton, founder of Sharp Lawn Care.
I started pushing a mower through Sioux City backyards at 13 and fell in love with the instant curb-appeal makeover. Fast-forward a decade. By then I owned my own yard, yet the lawn-care “wisdom” swirling around barbecues and big-box aisles was maddening: “Water every day at dawn,” “Rake up every clipping or you’ll thatch the lawn,” “Throw down extra seed right before winter,” and my personal favorite, “Scalp it super short so you can mow less.” Those tips cost homeowners Saturdays, budgets, and often their turf.
Determined to clear the noise, I dove into agronomy courses, earned state pesticide licensure, and logged more than a decade of hands-in-the-soil experimentation. The result is a straightforward, six-step Roadmap to a Sharp Lawn—the science-backed system our crews follow on thousands of properties today, regularly prompting HOA boards to send thank-you notes instead of citations.
Our mission is simple: give busy families their weekends back by delivering healthy, picture-perfect lawns—minus the guesswork.

Our Proven Process to the Best Lawn in the Neighborhood—
in Two Seasons or Less, Guaranteed
1. Spring & Fall Core Aeration
Open thousands of nutrient channels.
Soil plugs are removed so air, water, and nutrients reach deep roots—kick-starting vigorous growth.
2. Precision Feeding & Weed Defense
Nourish grass, starve weeds.
Custom slow-release fertilizer pairs with targeted weed control, letting turf claim every nutrient while invaders wither.
3. Fall Aeration & Overseeding
Tailored aeration, seed where it counts.
From a single pass in dense areas to multiple passes in thin ones, we loosen soil just right, then blanket an elite TTTF/KBG blend to thicken turf before winter.
4. Smart Mowing
Set it high for thicker turf.
Keep the mower at 4 inches and never remove more than 40 % per cut—simple, stress-free trimming that builds deeper roots and richer color.
5. Dialed-In Watering
Right amount, right schedule.
Water 2–3 days a week: roughly 1 inch total during cooler months and 2 inches in summer heat—no more guessing or over-watering.
6. Sit Back & Enjoy
Time-freeing, envy-worthy results.
Consistent, visit-after-visit improvements reclaim your weekends. And if anything slips, our Sharp Guarantee covers the fix—leaving you free to enjoy the compliments year after year.
