LAWN CARE & LANDSCAPING · WINTER PARK, FL
Winter park lawn care built on soil science, cultivar expertise, and a closed roster of 40–50 estate properties. Owner-operated since 2005 across 32789 and 32792.
Estate-Level Service Since 2005
Winter park lawn care demands more than a weekly mow-and-blow crew. Between the live oak canopy shade along Park Avenue, the full-sun zoysia expanses lining Lake Sue, and the sandy sugar-sand soil beneath every estate in 32789, each property here is a microclimate unto itself. Michael Geist's Yard Works brings turfgrass-certified, soil-first lawn care and landscaping to Winter Park homeowners who want golf-course results without corporate contracts. Every program starts with a soil test, a cultivar assessment, and a maintenance calendar built for your specific lot—not a one-size template pulled off a franchise truck.
We keep a deliberately small roster—40 to 50 properties at any given time—so that the owner is on your property every single visit. That means consistent stripe direction on your reel-mowed zoysia, cultivar-matched fertilization schedules, and someone who notices the early signs of large patch or chinch bug pressure before it costs you a re-sod.

OUR APPROACH
Every Winter Park lawn program starts underground. We pull soil samples, test pH and organic matter content, and then build a nutrition plan that feeds the soil food web—not just the grass blade. The result is a lawn that gets healthier every season instead of one addicted to synthetic inputs.
This approach was shaped by working alongside Steve Miller, one of Central Florida's most respected turf and landscape mentors. The principles are simple: observe, diagnose the root cause, educate the homeowner, deliver a solution, and build toward a long-term result. No shortcuts. No spray-and-pray.
We maintain a deliberately small client roster so that Michael is personally on your property at every visit—not a rotating crew of subcontractors. That consistency is why our clients stay with us for years.

From the oak-canopied streets near Park Avenue to the lakefront estates along Lake Maitland, we know the soil, shade, and irrigation conditions of every Winter Park neighborhood.
