Like human hair, backyards must be carefully maintained lest they become unmanageable and attract the attentions of territorial neighborhood pets. Manage unwieldy turf with today's Groupon: for $20, you get a lawn fertilization and weed-control treatment for up to 8,000 square feet of lawn from Spring-Green Lawn Care, which serves the greater Indianapolis area (up to a $47.03 value).

Spring-Green's sod sultans pamper grassy expanses with customized treatments to reduce the number of weeds and produce thicker, greener grass carpets. Trained turf technicians begin the weed-and-feed application by assessing lawn forests according to the local climate, growing conditions, and potential for spontaneous cartwheel contests. After the consultation, Spring-Green's meadow masters will apply a custom-concocted serum of fertilizer and weed control, transforming boring backyards of up to 8,000 square feet into Neverlands of luxurious verdure and eerily ageless children. Spring-Green guarantees its services and provides free service calls to the homes of unsatisfied customers.

Sprucing up yards in more than 7,500 communities across the country, Spring-Green has amassed a wealth of green-thumbed know-how, which it shares via tips, podcasts, and telekinetic transmissions. Though not included in today's deal, Spring-Green's lawn care professionals can also help prettify plots with a bevy of additional services, including aeration and insect control.
