Founded and operated by Michael Geist, the company goes beyond basic mowing or surface-level landscaping by delivering technically sound solutions for turf, irrigation, sod installation, hardscapes, and landscape construction. Every service is built around proper preparation, correct materials, and proven practices suited to Florida’s demanding climate, sandy soils, and seasonal weather patterns.
Michael Geist’s Yard Works is known for treating lawns and landscapes as systems—not standalone services. From reel mowing and top dressing to irrigation management and landscape installations, the company emphasizes durability, consistency, and results that improve over time. Serving Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, and surrounding communities, Michael Geist’s Yard Works works with homeowners who value quality workmanship, clear communication, and landscapes that are built to perform—not just look good for a few weeks.
Our Services
Landscape Installation Services by Michael Geist’s Yard Works are designed to transform outdoor spaces into functional, visually refined landscapes built to thrive in Central Florida’s climate. Every installation begins with proper site evaluation, soil preparation, and plant selection based on sun exposure, drainage, and long-term performance. From ornamental plantings and landscape beds to sod integration and grading, each project is installed with precision to ensure durability, health, and curb appeal.
Unlike basic landscaping crews, Michael Geist’s Yard Works takes a horticulture-driven approach to landscape installation. Plants are installed at correct depths, amended with appropriate soils, and spaced according to mature growth — not shortcuts. Irrigation considerations, mulch application, and drainage flow are addressed during installation to prevent common failures such as plant decline, erosion, or water stress. The result is a landscape that establishes quickly and performs long-term.
Serving Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, and surrounding areas, Michael Geist’s Yard Works delivers landscape installations that are clean, intentional, and built to last. Whether enhancing a residential property or upgrading a high-end estate, every installation is executed with professional standards that protect your investment and elevate the property’s overall value.
Sod installation services by Michael Geist’s Yard Works are built around proper site preparation, turf selection, and long-term lawn performance — not shortcuts. Every sod project begins with removing existing turf or weeds, grading and leveling the surface, and preparing the soil to ensure strong root-to-soil contact. High-quality sod varieties such as St. Augustine and Zoysia are selected based on sun exposure, irrigation layout, and property use to ensure fast establishment and durability in Central Florida’s climate.
Unlike basic sod crews that simply roll out grass, Michael Geist’s Yard Works focuses on installation precision. Sod is laid in a staggered pattern, seams are tightened, edges are properly trimmed, and the lawn is rolled to eliminate air pockets that cause failure. Irrigation coverage and drainage are evaluated during installation to prevent uneven growth, dry spots, or washout. This process results in a lawn that roots faster, levels properly, and maintains a uniform appearance.
Serving Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, and surrounding areas, Michael Geist’s Yard Works delivers sod installations that are clean, professional, and built to last. Whether replacing failing turf or installing a new lawn from the ground up, each sod installation is designed to protect your investment, enhance curb appeal, and provide a strong foundation for long-term lawn health.
Paver and hardscape services by Michael Geist’s Yard Works are designed to add structure, functionality, and long-term value to outdoor spaces throughout Central Florida. From walkways and patios to edging and hardscape accents, each installation begins with proper site preparation, base construction, and grading to ensure stability and longevity. Hardscape elements are carefully integrated with the surrounding landscape to enhance usability while maintaining a clean, cohesive aesthetic.
Michael Geist’s Yard Works approaches paver installation as a construction process, not a surface-level install. Proper base depth, compaction, edge restraint, and drainage flow are addressed to prevent shifting, settling, or water pooling over time. Paver layouts are selected to complement the home’s architecture and landscape design while providing durable, low-maintenance surfaces that withstand Florida’s heat and rainfall.
Serving Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, and surrounding areas, Michael Geist’s Yard Works delivers professional paver and hardscape installations that are built to last. Whether creating defined outdoor living spaces or improving access and flow around the property, each hardscape project is executed with precision to ensure long-term performance, safety, and visual appeal.
Reel mowing services by Michael Geist’s Yard Works are designed specifically for fine turfgrasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda, and other dense, low-cut lawns that demand precision. Unlike rotary mowing, reel mowing delivers a clean, scissor-like cut that reduces turf stress, promotes lateral growth, and enhances overall turf density. Each reel-mowed lawn is managed according to grass type, desired height of cut, and seasonal growth patterns to achieve a smooth, uniform finish that cannot be replicated with standard equipment.
Michael Geist’s Yard Works approaches reel mowing as part of a broader turf health strategy, not a standalone service. Blade sharpness, cutting frequency, growth regulation, and mowing direction are carefully managed to minimize scalping and improve color consistency. This process encourages tighter internodes, improved root development, and a more resilient turf surface while reducing thatch buildup and uneven growth over time.
Serving Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, and surrounding areas, Michael Geist’s Yard Works provides professional reel mowing for homeowners who demand golf-course-level results. Whether maintaining an established Zoysia lawn or transitioning a property into a premium turf program, reel mowing delivers superior aesthetics, healthier grass, and long-term performance when executed correctly.
Top dressing and lawn leveling services by Michael Geist’s Yard Works are designed to correct uneven turf, improve soil structure, and enhance long-term lawn performance. These services involve applying a controlled layer of high-quality soil or compost blends across the lawn to smooth low areas, improve drainage, and promote stronger root development. Top dressing is especially effective for St. Augustine and Zoysia lawns that have settled, developed depressions, or suffer from compacted or nutrient-poor soils common in Central Florida.
Michael Geist’s Yard Works approaches lawn leveling as a precision process, not a quick fix. Material depth is carefully calculated to avoid turf suffocation while still correcting grade inconsistencies. Applications are spread evenly, brushed into the canopy, and timed properly with growth cycles to encourage recovery and lateral spread. When combined with proper mowing, irrigation management, and fertility, top dressing improves turf density, reduces standing water, and creates a smoother, more uniform lawn surface.
Serving Oviedo, Winter Park, Winter Springs, Lake Mary, and surrounding communities, Michael Geist’s Yard Works delivers professional top dressing and lawn leveling services that protect your turf investment. Whether correcting years of soil settling or refining a high-end lawn, these services provide measurable
Michael Geist’s Yard Works approaches irrigation as critical infrastructure—not a set-and-forget accessory. The philosophy is simple: water must be delivered at the correct rate, in the correct location, and at the correct time for the specific turf, plants, soil, and microclimate of each property. In Central Florida’s sandy soils and intense seasonal swings, improper irrigation is the fastest way to destroy lawns and landscapes. That’s why every system is evaluated holistically, with attention to pressure, coverage, drainage interaction, and plant requirements, not just broken heads or timers.
Irrigation services are built around performance and efficiency, including system design and installation, diagnostics and repairs, efficiency upgrades, smart controller programming, and ongoing seasonal management. Zones are separated by turf type and plant needs, precipitation rates are matched, and systems are adjusted as landscapes mature. The result is healthier turf, stronger root systems, reduced disease pressure, and lower water waste—protecting both the landscape investment and the property itself over the long term.
