Sit back while We Care For your Lawn
From shaded backyards to sun-baked front lawns, every Tempe yard has its own demands. Little John's Lawns has cared for Arizona lawns since 2012, and we tailor mowing, feeding, weed prevention, and landscape upkeep to the way your property actually grows.
Everything we do in Tempe is planned around desert heat, alkaline soil, and Bermudagrass seasons, so your lawn and landscape stay healthy from the first warm days of spring through the last cool nights of fall.
Tempe's alkaline soil and long summers pull nutrients out of turf fast. Our liquid fertilization program puts them back on a schedule that matches how Bermudagrass grows in the Valley.

Even, consistent cuts keep Tempe lawns shaded at the root and resilient in triple-digit heat. We mow on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, edge every visit, and clear clippings so your yard stays crisp.

Spring and fall pre-emergent treatments block weed seeds in your Tempe lawn and beds before they sprout, so less of your time goes to pulling and spraying.

A tuned sprinkler or drip system is the difference between a thriving Tempe yard and a patchy one. We repair, adjust, and install systems built for desert water needs.

Very nice job digging up our old dead grass and laying the new sod. It's only been a few days but the new sod looks greatI also like that I can get a fertilizer/weed control program for new grass for a very reasonable amount.

I just switched my landscaping service to Little John's and I am super glad I did. From the people who cut the lawn, to their fertilizer specialist, and even Little John himself... everyone has be so helpful.
Quincy Conley
We had out of control weeds and after the first treatment, that is not a problem. We have gotten additional rock when they run specials. I love Little John’s! They have made a huge difference for us.
Diane West
Little John's did a great job cleaning up our yard in preparation for the pre-emergent application. They accommodated our schedule, answered our many questions, and left our yard spotless. We recommend them.

Tempe soils run alkaline, which can lock up iron and leave grass looking pale. Our fertilizer blends and timing are chosen to restore color, build root strength, and carry your lawn through the long Valley summer.
Goathead and spurge move in quickly when turf thins out. We lay down pre-emergent barriers in the right windows and spot-treat whatever slips through, keeping Tempe lawns clean without constant hand-pulling.
Foot traffic and frequent irrigation compact soil over time. Core aeration pulls small plugs so water, air, and nutrients reach the root zone again, which pays off in stronger summer color.
Warm nights and frequent watering can set the stage for brown patch and other fungal problems. We diagnose what is actually affecting your turf and treat it before the spots spread.
Grubs, chinch bugs, and webworms feed out of sight until patches suddenly turn brown. Our insect control program finds and treats them early to protect Tempe turf before the damage shows.
When Bermudagrass goes dormant, many Tempe homeowners overseed with winter ryegrass for green color through the cool months. We handle the seed, timing, and prep for an even, full winter lawn.
Mesquite, palo verde, and citrus all have different needs in the Valley. We watch for pests, stress, and nutrient gaps, then treat trees so they stay full, healthy, and well rooted.
Overgrown hedges crowd walkways and block light fast in Tempe's long growing season. We shape shrubs and trees cleanly, remove dead wood, and keep plants open and healthy.
Fast summer growth and windblown debris pile up quickly. Our yard cleanups clear dead growth, weeds, and clutter so your Tempe property looks sharp again in a single visit.
After winter, beds and rock areas need a reset. We remove debris, tidy planting beds, and clear drainage paths so your Tempe landscape is ready for the heat of the growing season.
Fall is the time to clear spent plants and debris before cooler weather settles in. Our cleanup removes dead material and refreshes rock and bed areas for a neat winter landscape.
Even in the desert, shade trees drop leaves that smother turf and clog beds. We rake, bag, and haul it all away so your lawn can breathe and your yard stays clear.
We help you choose desert-adapted shrubs, perennials, and accents that handle Tempe heat and still look great, then plant them with proper soil prep so they establish quickly.
Replace a worn-out lawn or patch bare areas with fresh sod. We prep the soil, lay the sod, and guide your first weeks of watering so new turf roots in fast.
Weeds in rock and mulch beds are stubborn. We combine targeted herbicide with hand removal to keep beds tidy and protect the plants you want to keep.
From planting beds and decorative rock to borders and lighting, we design and install low-water landscapes that fit your Tempe property and your style.
Scheduled visits for trimming, edging, mulch or rock touch-ups, and debris removal keep your landscape sharp all year without you lifting a finger.
Decorative rock lowers watering needs, blocks weeds, and gives your yard a clean, modern look. Choose from a range of colors and sizes to match your Tempe home.
We design sprinkler and drip systems around your Tempe yard's real needs, using dependable Hunter and Rain Bird components. The goal is even coverage, lower water use, and healthier plants.
Clogged nozzles, cracked heads, and mineral buildup from hard water cut performance fast. We repair leaks, replace damaged parts, and fine-tune controllers so every zone gets what it needs.
Bermudagrass is the standard in Tempe because it handles extreme heat and strong sun. It grows quickly, repairs itself well, and stays green through the summer.
It does go dormant when temperatures drop, which is why many homeowners overseed with ryegrass for green color through the winter.
Water early in the morning, and aim for deep, less frequent cycles instead of short daily ones. This pushes roots deeper so the lawn handles heat better.
Watch for runoff on compacted soil, and have your sprinkler heads checked each season so every zone gets even coverage.
Most Tempe lawns are overseeded in the fall, once nighttime lows start easing and the soil is still warm enough for ryegrass to germinate quickly.
Mowing low and clearing debris first helps the seed reach the soil and sprout evenly.
Prevention works best. Pre-emergent treatments in spring and fall stop weed seeds before they sprout, and a thick, well-fed lawn leaves little room for the rest.
Little John's builds a weed control plan around your lawn and beds so you are not fighting the same problems every season.
In most cases, yes. Heavy use and compacted, alkaline soil make it hard for water and nutrients to reach the roots.
We suggest aerating once a year in spring while the grass is actively growing.
