Snow crews are out in full force today as the Twin Cities was hit with the first round of what is supposed to be a large storm. Snow plowing and shoveling started at 6 AM for all customers, so look for crews today.

New Hope had 6.3 inches of snow reported by the NWS, Bloomington had 6.1, and Chaska reported 5.8.

Aerations, Fall Seeding, and Hydroseeding season has officially started today at Peter Doran Lawn and Landscaping. If you would like service but have not signed up yet, please call us at the office at (763) 315-0052. The season should last most of the month of September and a little into October, here in the Twin Cities.

Fall contracts along with snow contracts (yes snow already), will be coming out in the mail next week!

We finally got some much needed rain showers and storms over the weekend and Monday. While the rain was needed it also means our mowing schedule is pushed back one day in most cases. Please plan accordingly, and thank you for your understanding.

The phone lines at the office are temporarily down. They have been down since roughly 10 AM this morning. After contacting Comcast, they said they had a server go down and the engineers were “working” on it. If you need to contact us please email at info@peterdoranlawn.com or call Peters Cell at (612) 386-4000. Sorry for the inconvenience.

We have started mowing lawns yesterday. Half of our Bi Weekly customers will be mowed this week and the other half next week, call if you want to find out which week you are scheduled for.

Aeration, Renovating Seeding, and overseeding seasons will be finishing up this week. Spring Cleanups will also hopefully be finishing up this week.

It is not too late to sign up for mowing, we have room!

Spring is finally here! Our Spring Cleanup, Spring Gutter Cleaning, Spring Renovating Seeding, Aeration, Plow Fixes, and Overseeding will all be starting on Monday April 13th. Not everyone will be done on Monday or even next week, but rest assured if you are on the list you should be done in late April or very early May.

If you have not signed up yet please send in your contract or give us a call. Peter Doran Lawn and Landscaping is also proud to announce that we have been in business for 16 years and plan to be your hometown Lawn and Landscaping provider for years to come.

After a lot of warnings and crazy forecasts, the Twin Cities has been left with 1″ of accumulations. Some spots may have gotten 1.5″ or a little higher. 1″ customers will be taken care of over night. We are starting plowing and shoveling services for those customers at 11PM.

To the extreme north and west areas of the state there were much higher snow totals than in the metro.

We are Plowing all customers this evening. Snow has reached anywhere from 4-7 inches this evening in the largest snowfall of the season to date. We are starting plowing and shoveling services at 9:30 PM this evening. Please remember that Plowing will be done within 12 hours and shoveling within 24 hours. Plowing and shoveling both may take slightly longer due to the amount of snow and the windy conditions.

Snow got a late start this morning as dry air prevailed over the Metro. At noon snowfall was prevelant over the cities and at some points there were snowfall rates of nearly 3 inches per hour!
