A well-kept lawn often signifies that its owner possesses a keen eye for detail and knows several neighborhood children desperately in need of money for new rollerblades. Treat a team of professionals to new toys with today's Groupon: for $59, you get three lawn-mowing, edging, and trimming services from Northern Services AK (a $165 value). This Groupon is valid for three separate visits for yards up to 1/8 acre in size, and larger yards 1/8 to 1/4 acre in size receive only two visits.

Northern Services AK’s experienced staff of lawn enthusiasts, which includes one Alaska Master Gardener, transforms tattered turf into manicured, emerald oases. A mowing session puts overreaching blades of grass in their place, promotes healthy growth, and leaves behind a level playing field for wheelbarrow races ($55). Lawns incapable of coloring inside the lines receive an edging, and untended bushes allow long-lost Frisbees to fall onto yards after a meticulous trimming removes excess growth. Fertilizer and debris removal is also available for an extra charge, and each visit from the squad of lawn-taming virtuosos will leave yards as dazzling as a bride’s smile before it’s rubbed in cake.
