Learn moreWhy Truvian
Quality meets care — the difference between a lawn that’s cut and a property that’s cared for.
Dispatched from Deatsville — not a national lead-gen call center. We know River Region red clay, storms, and turf firsthand.
We identify your bermuda, zoysia, centipede, St. Augustine or fescue first, then match mowing, feeding and weed timing to it.
Every job — from a weekly mow to a concrete retaining wall — is covered and backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
You get a transparent scope and quote before we start. No surprise add-ons, no vague “free estimate” runaround.
One accountable team for sod, drainage, walls, pavers, mulch and design — so your whole property works together.
When a pine drops or a yard floods, we answer. Rapid tree, debris and water-diversion crews across the Deatsville area.

Locally Owned & Operated
Truvian Lawn Care grew up right here in the River Region. Since 2021 we’ve helped homeowners, landlords and property managers across Elmore and Autauga counties turn tired, washed-out yards into lush lawns, durable retaining walls and inviting outdoor living spaces.
We specialize in the things Central Alabama properties actually need — sod that survives our summers, drainage that tames red-clay runoff, and hardscape built to last. Whether it’s a weekly mow or a full backyard transformation, you get one accountable, insured local crew.
Where We Work
From our Deatsville hub across Elmore, Autauga and the surrounding counties — and beyond for larger installs.
Customer Feedback
Real results from lawns, walls and patios across Deatsville, Millbrook, Prattville and Wetumpka.
“Our backyard slope washed out every time it rained. Truvian built a concrete block retaining wall and tied in a French drain — two storms later, not a drop of standing water. Clean, professional crew.”
“They sodded our whole front yard in Zoysia and it took beautifully. The team explained mowing height and watering so we could keep it looking sharp. Worth every penny.”
“A pine came down across our driveway after a night of storms. I called in the morning and they had it cleared and hauled off the same day. Lifesavers.”
“We use Truvian for our commercial property. Grounds always look crisp, invoicing is clear, and they show up when they say they will. Easy to recommend.”
“The paver patio and fire pit they designed completely changed how we use our yard. Great craftsmanship and they cleaned up spotless when they finished.”
“Reliable weekly mowing all season, sharp edging, and they never tore up the yard. Finally a lawn crew I don’t have to think about.”

Yes. Truvian Lawn Care is a licensed and insured Alabama landscaping and hardscaping company. Every crew that steps onto your property is covered, and every job — from a weekly mow to a concrete retaining wall — is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Every property is different, so we quote in writing after a free on-site look. As planning ranges only, basic area mowing often runs about $25–$50 per visit, fertilization $77–$395 per application, and aeration $75–$250. Size, access, terrain and scope set the final number.
We install and maintain bermudagrass, zoysiagrass, centipedegrass, St. Augustinegrass and fescue. We identify your turf first, then match mowing height, fertilization and weed-control timing to it — centipede especially needs the right product and rate to avoid herbicide injury.
There is no single schedule — mowing follows growth, turf type and weather. Wet spring and summer stretches can push bermuda and zoysia into weekly cuts, then growth slows through the heat and into fall. We set a height your grass can handle and never remove more than one-third of the blade in a single visit.
Timing matters as much as the product. On warm-season turf, winter-weed pre-emergent generally goes down mid-September to early October. Fall is also the window to discuss core aeration for compacted, high-traffic yards and a soil test when fertility or pH is in question. We match every treatment to your grass and the season.
No — and any crew that promises it is guessing. Mowing controls height and appearance; it will not cure poor drainage, compacted soil, disease, heavy shade or the wrong grass for the spot. We diagnose the real cause first, then recommend the right fix — from core aeration to a French drain or catch basin — instead of cutting over the problem.
Yes. When a Central Alabama storm or tornado drops a loblolly pine or floods a yard, we respond 24/7 across the Deatsville area for tree removal, debris clearing and rapid water diversion. Call (323) 606-0255 and we will dispatch as fast as conditions allow.
Central Alabama’s heavy red clay sheds water instead of absorbing it, and roughly 54 inches of annual rain finds every low spot and slope. French drains, catch basins and concrete block retaining walls redirect that runoff and hold hillsides in place before erosion reaches your foundation.
Absolutely. We maintain residential yards, custom hardscapes and outdoor living spaces, and we hold contracts for commercial grounds — retail centers, HOAs and business parks — across the River Region. Ask about recurring maintenance agreements when you call.
