We are happy to offer 1 month of free weekly lawn maintenance to any Glenwood Park resident who signs on for the 2007 season. Our wind and solar powered lawn maintenance company has expanded to Atlanta and are excited to be serving your new urbanist community!

We are also partnering with Atlanta-ba
