Serving South Anchorage and Hillside

Lawn Services

Highmark Services handles lawn care for properties of every size in Anchorage, from small residential yards to large commercial lots. Weekly mowing, spring clean-ups, thatching, fertilizer and lime, weed control, and rough cut mowing for the areas that have gotten out of hand. One crew, one schedule, the whole season covered.

Anchorage’s growing season is short and it moves fast. Long summer daylight pushes grass hard through June and July, which means the difference between a lawn that looks good and one that doesn’t, usually comes down to timing rather than effort. Clean-up before the first cut, feeding at the right points in the season, and a mowing schedule that keeps up with growth instead of chasing it.

Weekly Lawn Maintenance

Highmark Services provides weekly lawn mowing and maintenance for residential and commercial properties in South Anchorage, Hillside, Abbott Loop, and surrounding neighborhoods. Same crew, same day each week, so your lawn stays consistent all season instead of getting cut once it has already gotten away from you.

A set weekly schedule keeps growth steady, which does more for a lawn over a season than any single cut does.

Spring Cleanups

A spring clean-up is the first thing your lawn needs after breakup. Winter leaves behind sand, gravel, matted grass, and debris that smother new growth and hold moisture. Clearing all of it before the growing season starts is what separates a lawn that fills in thick from one that comes back thin and patchy.

Clearing the lawn before growth starts is what separates a lawn that fills in thick from one that comes back thin.

Thatching Services

Thatching, also called power raking, removes the layer of dead grass and organic buildup sitting between the green grass blades and the soil. When that layer gets too thick, water, air, and fertilizer stop reaching the roots, and the lawn thins out no matter how well it is watered or fed. Pulling it out gives the healthy grass room to fill back in.

Pulling out the dead layer opens the soil so water, air, and fertilizer reach the roots again.

Fertilizer & Lime Application

A green lawn in Anchorage comes down to feeding it on schedule and correcting the soil underneath it. Highmark applies fertilizer three times per season, spring, midsummer, and fall, with lime added to bring acidic soil back into a range where the grass can actually use what it is being fed.

Lime is what makes the fertilizer worth applying, because acidic soil keeps the grass from absorbing what it is fed.

Weed Control

Highmark offers two approaches to weed control: liquid application, and weed-and-feed products that fertilize and treat weeds in a single pass. Which one is right depends on how heavy the weed pressure is and whether the lawn also needs feeding.

Treatment handles what is already there. A thick, well-fed lawn is what keeps weeds from coming back.

Rough Cut Mowing

Rough cut mowing handles overgrown grass, brush, and tall vegetation that a standard mower can’t get through. It’s built for large or neglected areas rather than finished lawns, and once an area is knocked back, we can keep it under control with monthly maintenance mows.

Rough cut mowing is about control and access, not a manicured finish. Monthly mows that follow can keep growth in check.

Hedge & Tree Trimming

Trimming and shaping of hedges, shrubs, and trees controls growth and maintains clean lines. It also keeps branches clear of structures, walkways, and driveways. Overgrowth crowds a property fast during the long summer daylight, and regular trimming keeps it from becoming a removal job instead of a maintenance one.

Cutting back before growth gets out of hand keeps a hedge in shape and keeps branches off the house.
