Professional Lawn Care, Landscaping & Irrigation in Austin, MN

Austin property owners deal with the same conditions that test every lawn and landscape in southern Minnesota — compacted clay soils, heavy spring runoff, summer drought stress, and winters that push freeze-thaw cycles past 100 per year. The Groundsmasters serves Austin (a thriving city in southeastern Minnesota known as SPAM Town USA) on established weekly routes from our Owatonna base, just 45 miles away, so response times stay short and scheduling stays consistent.

Austin is the county seat of Mower County in southeastern Minnesota, situated along the Cedar River about 45 miles southeast of Owatonna. Known as the home of Hormel Foods, Austin is a vibrant city with a diverse population and strong economic base.

Austin's mix of industrial parks, residential neighborhoods, and recreational areas along the Cedar River create year-round demand for structured property care — from commercial lot maintenance to residential landscape upgrades.

The Cedar River corridor gives Austin properties unique drainage considerations, and the city's southeastern location means slightly different weather patterns than central Minnesota. Our experienced crews adapt service plans accordingly.

From the neighborhoods surrounding Todd Park to the commercial corridors along Main Street and Oakland Avenue, Austin property owners count on scheduled grounds maintenance to protect their investments.

With 42+ years of continuous operation since 1984, we bring field-tested knowledge of Mower County soils, drainage patterns, and growing conditions to every property we maintain. Our team is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Chemical applicators hold current state licenses; irrigation technicians are state-licensed PVB and RPZ testers. We are active members of the Irrigation Association, NALP, and the Owatonna Area Chamber of Commerce.
