About Precision Lawn & Landscape
Precision covers every conceivable aspect of outdoor living spaces. From meticulous lawn care services such as mowing, fertilizing and weed control, edging, and aerating, to expansive landscaping projects including rock and fabric installation, plants, trees, and breathtaking water and fire features— Precision truly does it all.

About Owner Skyler Akason
What started as a teenager’s attempt to save money for his first car has evolved into one of the region’s most trusted names in lawn care and landscaping services.
In 1997, at just 16 years old, Founder Skyler Akason pushed a mower around his neighborhood, determined to achieve perfection with every lawn—no, really, his brother got frustrated working with him because he ‘took too much time trying to be perfect.’ Over the years, that youthful determination transformed into Precision Lawn & Landscape, a company that now commands respect across the community for its attention to detail, exceptional quality, and extensive range of services.
Skyler has personally instilled standards that are upheld today by Brady Rinke, his COO, who has his pulse on all aspects of the company. Brady works closely with all employees to ensure each customer’s needs are met with the highest quality of service.
“Also, none of this would be possible without my wife and company CFO, Jen,” Skyler said. “She spearheads coordination, scheduling, and all financial transactions.”
The Services
Aeration
Precision Lawn & Landscape offers professional aeration services designed to rejuvenate and strengthen your lawn. Aeration involves perforating the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deeply. This facilitates healthy and robust root growth. Over time, lawns naturally become compacted, restricting essential elements from reaching the roots, which can leave your lawn stressed and vulnerable. Precision’s aeration process mitigates this issue, ensuring your lawn thrives, becomes more resistant to drought, and consistently looks vibrant and lush.
Service Recommendation
Once per year or at least once every other year. For those seeking optimal lawn health and enhanced appearance, aerating twice annually provides even greater benefits.
Boulevard Cleaning
Precision Lawn & Landscape offers comprehensive boulevard cleaning services, which is essential for maintaining a healthy lawn after winter. Throughout the colder months, snowplows and sanding operations can deposit significant amounts of sand and debris onto boulevards. Left untreated, this material can mat down and suffocate grass, hindering growth and appearance. Precision efficiently removes this buildup, ensuring grass emerges healthy, lush, and vibrant each spring.
Service Recommendation
Annually in early spring, immediately following the winter season, to ensure optimal lawn health.
Mosquito & Spider Control
Beyond standard lawn care, Precision offers effective mosquito control treatments to ensure clients can fully enjoy their outdoor spaces without pests. As part of this service, Precision provides specialized pest control spraying around home foundations, soffits, and fascia to prevent spiders and other unwanted insects from congregating near structures.
Service Recommendation
Mosquito spraying is typically recommended every 3-4 weeks during peak mosquito season, usually from late spring through early fall.
Dethatching
Precision Lawn & Landscape provides gentle yet effective dethatching services, ideal for thinner lawns that need careful handling. Using a tine-based system, dethatching gently lifts away dead grass and thatch without damaging healthy grass. This exposes topsoil for improved seed-to-soil contact during over-seeding. This process also enhances soil warmth and sunlight exposure to promote healthier grass growth.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends dethatching annually in the spring to maintain optimal lawn health and facilitate strong growth.
Power Raking
One of the most effective ways to maintain a vibrant, healthy lawn is through power raking. Over time, thatch—a layer of dead grass, roots, and debris—can build up, preventing water, nutrients, and air from reaching the soil. Precision’s power raking service removes this buildup to promote better root growth and improve the overall health of your lawn.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends power raking annually in the spring to maintain optimal lawn health and facilitate strong growth.
Edging
Precision Lawn & Landscape provides detailed edging services to create clean, sharp borders along driveways, sidewalks, and pavement. Using specialized equipment, a metal blade precisely cuts away overgrown grass, forming distinct boundaries that enhance curb appeal and maintain an immaculate lawn appearance.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends scheduling edging two to three times during the summer to keep your lawn looking tidy and well-maintained.
Mowing & Trimming
Precision Lawn & Landscape uses top-of-the-line equipment that delivers distinctive, attractive striping patterns. This specialized approach leaves lawns looking clean, manicured, and professionally maintained—similar to the appearance of a baseball diamond. To maintain optimal lawn health, Precision regularly alternates mowing directions among four different patterns which reduces turf wear and promotes uniform growth.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends regular weekly mowing during peak growing season to keep lawns looking pristine and healthy.
Fertilizer & Weed Control
Precision Lawn & Landscape provides comprehensive fertilizer and weed control services tailored to ensure your lawn remains lush, healthy, and weed-free. Precision also enhances its fertilization program with iron supplements to guarantee a rich, vibrant green color—unmatched by standard lawn treatments. The company also offers targeted specialty applications for those hard-to-control weeds like barnyard and crabgrass.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends three to four fertilizer and weed control applications per season. Customers without regular watering schedules should opt for three treatments—spring, early summer, and late summer—while customers with consistent irrigation should pursue four applications for best results.
Overseeding
Precision Lawn & Landscape provides professional overseeding services, strategically spreading grass seed throughout your yard to promote lush, full growth, particularly in areas that have become thin or patchy. Overseeding enhances the density and vitality of your lawn, resulting in improved resilience against weeds and disease, and contributes significantly to overall lawn health and appearance.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends overseeding annually or whenever your lawn begins to appear sparse, ideally in spring or early fall, to maximize grass growth and effectiveness. For optimal results, overseeding should be coupled with aerating to maximize the seed-to-soil contact by creating little voids for the seed to fall into.
Sprinkler Installation, Startup, & Winterization
Precision installs sprinkler systems customized to each property’s specific needs, considering factors like sprinkler head types and optimal zone run times. These systems include Wi-Fi connectivity and smart rain sensors to monitor moisture levels to automatically adjust watering schedules based on real-time conditions to prevent water waste.
Precision also provides efficient sprinkler startup and winterization services to protect your irrigation system and ensure optimal performance throughout the year. The startup process involves safely reactivating the water supply, thoroughly inspecting and adjusting each sprinkler zone, and setting accurate timers to maintain proper watering schedules. For winterization, the system is carefully drained and prepared to prevent damage from freezing temperatures.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends regular seasonal maintenance, including system checks, adjustments, and winterization, to ensure consistent sprinkler performance and lawn health throughout the year.
Leaf Cleanup
Precision Lawn & Landscape offers thorough leaf cleanup services, employing a detailed and systematic approach to ensure your yard remains pristine throughout the seasons. Their team meticulously uses backpack blowers to clear leaves and debris from landscape beds, window wells, and other challenging areas—no corner is overlooked. Leaves are then collected, bagged, and hauled away, including a thorough cleanup of spots inaccessible by mowers. This approach significantly surpasses basic leaf removal methods, ensuring your yard stays clean and visually appealing.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends leaf cleanup in early spring and late fall to maintain lawn health and appearance.
Gutter Cleaning
Precision Lawn & Landscape isn’t afraid to provide thorough gutter cleaning services. This is important to do regularly because it safeguards your home from potential water damage. Leaves and debris accumulated in gutters can obstruct proper drainage, potentially causing water backup and risking damage or basement flooding.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends gutter cleaning at least once or twice a year, ideally in early spring and late fall to maintain optimal drainage and home protection.
Perennial Cleanup & Shrub Trimming
For perennials, Precision expertly trims plants down to a few inches above the ground, promoting fresh, vibrant regrowth each spring. This cleanup typically occurs in spring, although fall cleanup is also an option. Shrubs are carefully trimmed and shaped to maintain neatness, enhance their aesthetic appeal, and control growth effectively.
Service Recommendation
Precision recommends shrub trimming one to three times throughout the summer based on customer preferences, and perennial cleanup once annually, typically in spring or fall.
Rock & Decorative Boulders
Landscape rock installations come in various sizes and colors to complement your home’s style and personal preferences.
Edging & Concrete Curbing
For edging solutions, Precision offers two distinct options:
Concrete Curbing — This involves poured concrete borders that provide a defined, durable edge around landscape rock or garden areas. Many customers prefer the clean, solid look of concrete curbing, though it’s important to note that small cracks may occur over time due to natural ground shifts.
Interlocking Bullet Edging — This alternative consists of individual concrete pieces, each approximately one foot long, designed to interlock and create a seamless appearance. Bullet edging has the advantage of flexibility, which allows for slight movement during seasonal freezing and thawing cycles, which minimizes cracking.
Correct installation is critical for bullet edging, as improper installation can lead to shifting. However, when installed professionally by Precision, bullet edging provides lasting durability and easy maintenance.
Patios
Precision Lawn & Landscape expertly installs beautiful and durable patios, offering both manufactured paver options and natural stone varieties such as bluestone and travertine. Additionally, Precision specializes in creating customized outdoor kitchen spaces, complete with features such as built-in storage, refrigerators, and a range of countertop materials including limestone, granite, and concrete.
Wood & Maintenance Free Decking and Fencing
Precision Lawn & Landscape installs both traditional wood and maintenance-free decking and fencing options. For customers seeking convenience and minimal upkeep, Precision offers durable composite decking, aluminum, and vinyl fencing— materials that eliminate the need for regular staining or painting. Those preferring a classic look have the choice of natural wood decking and fencing.
Pergolas
Clients frequently present ideas, and Precision’s dedicated division manager works closely with them to bring their perfect pergola to life. Each pergola is crafted from either maintenance-free materials like composite, vinyl, aluminum, or traditional wood.
Perennial, Sbrub, & Tree Planting
Precision Lawn & Landscape offers hundreds of carefully selected plant options that thrive in the local climate. Their experienced designers expertly choose plants tailored specifically for environmental compatibility, considering sunlight requirements and seasonal growth patterns.
Retaining Walls
Precision Lawn & Landscape designs and installs durable and visually appealing retaining walls, offering options including manufactured blocks and natural stone, with each providing reliable support while enhancing the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces.
Sod and Hydroseed
Precision Lawn & Landscape offers superior sod and hydroseed services. Precision uses only premium sod sourced from trusted suppliers. Their hydroseeding technique efficiently provides even coverage and rapid growth, ideal for establishing new lawns or enhancing existing turf.
Precision stands firmly behind its sod and hydroseed work, offering a reliable warranty to customers who follow the provided care instructions.
Precision also does final grade work to ensure your yard is smooth and properly slopped before they install sod or hydroseed.
Fire Pits, Water Features, Landscapes Lighting, & Outdoor Kitchens
Precision Lawn & Landscape specializes in creating fully customized fire features and water features, carefully designed and built from scratch to align seamlessly with your home’s existing style. Fire features can be crafted using natural gas, propane, or traditional wood-burning setups. Water features, often constructed from natural stone, are thoughtfully integrated into the landscape so that they look naturally placed. Precision’s capabilities extend to water features, fountains, spillways, and other distinctive designs.
