Yes, we are fully licensed and insured to protect both our clients and our team. At The Lawn Barber, we take safety, professionalism, and compliance seriously. We are licensed in the state of Minnesota for fertilizer applications under license #20201483. In addition, we hold two specialized licenses in turf and ornamental care, both under license #20201485. These certifications ensure that we are qualified to apply fertilizers and treatments responsibly and in accordance with state regulations.

Beyond licensing, we carry comprehensive liability insurance to cover personal injury and property damage. This means that in the rare event something unexpected occurs on your property, you’re protected and so are we. We also carry workers’ compensation insurance to safeguard the health and well-being of our crew while they’re on the job.

By working with a licensed and insured provider like The Lawn Barber, you’re getting peace of mind in addition to expert care. Whether we’re mowing, applying treatments, or completing a full landscape project, you can trust that every job is completed with professionalism, safety, and accountability at the forefront. Your property is in good hands with us.

Absolutely! The mosquito and tick control product we use is safe, natural, and environmentally responsible. It falls under the EPA’s 25(b) exempt category, which means it has been evaluated and determined to pose little to no risk to human health or the environment. These types of products are made from ingredients that are commonly recognized as safe, such as essential oils and botanical extracts, and they do not require conventional pesticide registration because of their low toxicity.

We’re proud to use a product that aligns with our eco-conscious values and supports a safer outdoor experience for families, pets, pollinators, and wildlife. There are no harsh chemicals, no synthetic residues, and no lingering odors—just effective protection you can feel good about.

In fact, the very same product is used by some of the largest and most respected eco-friendly lawn care companies across the United States. Its proven track record and natural formula make it a trusted solution for long-lasting pest control without compromising safety. At The Lawn Barber, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between pest prevention and peace of mind. With us, you get both.

We understand the convenience of wanting a fast quote based on online pictures, but unfortunately, we’re not able to provide accurate pricing that way—and here’s why. While pictures can offer a general overview, they often miss the small but important details that directly impact the cost of lawn care or landscaping services. Things like steep hills, narrow access points, uneven terrain, hidden obstacles, fences, or newly added features are hard to detect in a photo and can significantly affect the time, equipment, and crew needed for the job.

In-person visits allow us to assess your property thoroughly and consider factors that a picture simply can’t capture. For example, recent changes to your landscape, the condition of your grass, or access limitations around structures can all influence the type and cost of service we recommend. Our goal is always to provide you with an honest, fair, and accurate quote—no hidden fees, no surprises later on.

By taking the time to walk the property ourselves, we ensure that you receive the right service at the right price, tailored specifically to your needs. It’s all part of our commitment to providing high-quality, trustworthy lawn care.

With so many lawn care and landscaping companies out there, it can be hard to know who to trust. At The Lawn Barber, what truly sets us apart is our combination of unmatched attention to detail, eco-conscious practices, and genuine customer relationships. We don’t just show up to get the job done—we treat your property with the same care and respect we would our own. From our first conversation to every visit after, we’re committed to clear communication, reliability, and delivering consistent results that exceed expectations.

We understand that by hiring us, you’re trusting us to be on your property regularly, often around your home, family, and pets. That trust isn’t something we take lightly. We show up when we say we will, we do the work we promised, and we leave your yard better than we found it—every time.

We’ve been fortunate to build strong, long-term relationships with many of our clients, and their positive feedback speaks volumes. Many have even volunteered to provide testimonials because they believe in what we do and how we do it. At the end of the day, we don’t just maintain lawns—we build trust, one yard at a time.

Unlike many companies in the industry, we do not require our residential lawn care clients to sign a long-term maintenance contract. We believe that if we consistently do what we say, show up when we’re supposed to, and provide great service with honest communication, that alone will be enough to earn your trust and keep your business. Our goal is to build strong, long-lasting relationships based on mutual respect—not paperwork.

That said, for larger-scale jobs or commercial properties, a signed contract is necessary. Any project over $1200 or services provided to commercial clients will require a written agreement. This ensures that both parties are on the same page regarding the scope of work, expectations, timeline, and payment terms. It helps protect you as the client and allows us to deliver our services with confidence and clarity.

For routine residential lawn care like mowing, fertilization, or weed control, we prefer to keep things flexible. You can adjust services as needed or pause during the off-season without being locked into a contract. We’re confident that our quality of work and reliability will speak for itself—no binding agreement required.
