Who We Are

Meet the Owner.

The Lawn Guy is a family-owned landscaping crew born and raised right here in Mississippi. What started as a one-man mowing route has grown into a small, dependable team that homeowners and businesses across the area trust week after week.

We believe good landscaping comes down to three things: showing up when you say you will, doing the job the way you'd do it on your own yard, and treating customers like neighbors — because most of them are. No big-company runaround, no surprise charges, just steady, honest work.

From routine mowing and bed maintenance to full property cleanups, our crew takes pride in every job — large or small. The man behind it all is owner Perry Young.

Local Know-How

Lawn Care in Mississippi Isn't Like Anywhere Else.

Our humid summers, clay-heavy soil, and long growing season mean your yard fights battles most of the country never sees. Here's what every Mississippi homeowner should know.

Common Local Weeds

Our lawns get hit by aggressive weeds that thrive in humid heat:

Grassy: Crabgrass, Dallisgrass, Annual Bluegrass.
Broadleaf: White Clover, Henbit, Chickweed, Spurge.
Sedges: Nutsedge — loves our wet soil.

Pre-Emergent vs. Post-Emergent

Timing is everything in Mississippi:

Pre-emergents go down in early spring and fall to stop weed seeds before they sprout.
Post-emergents kill weeds already showing up in your yard.

Miss the window and you fight the weeds all season.

Why It Matters Here

A healthy lawn in Mississippi isn't just about looks — it stops erosion on our clay soils, keeps mosquitoes and pests down, holds your property value, and stands up to summer heat without burning out.

We treat every yard like the climate it's actually growing in.

Land & Lot Clearing

Overgrown Property? Not a Problem.

Tall grass, brush, fence lines, abandoned lots — bring us the worst of it. We've got the equipment and the crew to take it back down to dirt and grass.
