This service includes:

Leaf & debris removal (no body bags needed)
Bed and border edging sharper than Rip’s jawline
Hedge & shrub trimming (with surgical precision)
Lawn clean-up so clean it scares the weeds away
Optional: Branded yard sign so your neighbors know who saved your lawn

Hedge & Shrub Trimming – Sculpted by the Reaper

Is your front yard starting to look like a haunted forest? Bushes bulging like they’ve got secrets? Fear not — Rip the Lawn Reaper is here to tame the wild.

With blades sharper than his wit and the patience of someone who's already died once, Rip trims with terrifying precision. Whether your shrubs are screaming for a shape-up or your hedges look like they’ve seen things... he’s got you covered.

This service includes:

Pruning and shaping of hedges, shrubs, and borderline monsters
Cleanup of all clippings and debris (no grave digging involved)
Light bed edging to keep your landscape looking alive
A finishing touch worthy of a garden gnome with a grim streak

Don’t fear the overgrowth — fear what happens when Rip shows up with clippers.

Weed Removal – Exorcised by Rip

Some weeds just don’t know when to stay buried… but lucky for you, Rip the Lawn Reaper specializes in dragging the unwanted back to the underworld where they belong.

Whether they’re creeping through your mulch beds, haunting the cracks in your driveway, or staging a takeover of your lawn, Rip shows no mercy. Armed with tools, tenacity, and an unhealthy passion for pristine grass, he yanks, digs, and clears until not even the dandelions dare return.

This service includes:

Full removal of visible weeds from lawn, beds, cracks, and walkways
Light bed reshaping and fluffing (for curb appeal… and revenge)
Optional organic prevention treatments (no toxic potions here)
Disposal so thorough you'd think Rip buried them himself

If your lawn’s being overrun by invaders, call the one who’s already been six feet under.

Fertilization – Fed by the Dead

Your grass is hungry. But not just any snack will do — it craves the kind of nutrients that only Rip the Lawn Reaper can deliver. After all, who knows more about what feeds the soil… than a guy who lives in it?

With a shovel in one hand and slow-release magic in the other, Rip ensures your lawn gets the boost it needs to grow lush, green, and very much alive. No synthetic nonsense — just the good stuff that turns struggling turf into a comeback story.

This service includes:

Seasonally timed applications tailored to your turf type
Organic and pet-safe options (Rip loves dogs... even undead ones)
Slow-release blends for long-term health
Lawn assessments to catch issues before they spread like a zombie bite

Because even your lawn deserves a last meal… and a second chance.

Lawn Mowing – Cut by the Reaper

When your grass gets long, unruly, and starts whispering in the wind... it’s time for Rip the Lawn Reaper to make his rounds.

With blades spinning and swagger unmatched, Rip doesn’t just mow — he executes. Week after week, he delivers crisp lines, clean edges, and the kind of cut that makes your lawn the envy of the block (and a little scared).

This service includes:

Precision mowing with sharp, calibrated equipment (no scythe… yet)
Trimming along fences, beds, walkways, and tombstones (just in case)
Blower cleanup so clean it’s like the grass never dared grow
Scheduled weekly, biweekly, or monthly… if you can handle the growth

It's not just a mow — it's a ritual. And Rip never misses a cut.

Snow Removal – Plowed by the Reaper

When the snow falls and your driveway turns into a frozen wasteland, there’s only one cold-blooded (literally) lawn legend you can trust — Rip the Lawn Reaper.

He may have risen from the dirt, but now he dominates the drifts. With a shovel in one hand and a snowblower that sounds like thunder, Rip clears paths like he’s opening the gates of the underworld. Your sidewalks? Safe. Your driveway? Devastated (in a good way). Your neighbors? Jealous.

This service includes:

Driveway plowing with the force of a thousand undead
Sidewalk and walkway clearing (no ice left behind)
Salting or de-icing for safe passage through the blizzard
Optional: Frosty “Reaped by Rip” yard marker, just to flex

Why risk slipping on ice... when you could let a zombie gnome handle it?
