Lawn care in Clermont, IN comes from our crew in Speedway, a 10–12 minute drive out Crawfordsville Road, and it is built around the town’s big yards: weekly mowing on half-acre-plus lots, careful work on wet swales and ditch banks, spring cleanups and fall leaf removal off wooded edges. Clermont stops keep a fixed weekly day. Text the address and a couple of photos, and Cameron quotes the lot before the first cut.
Head northwest out of Speedway on Crawfordsville Road and in about ten minutes you’re in Clermont, a small town of roughly 1,400 people at the far west edge of Marion County. Race weekends at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, just over the county line, bring the crowds; the rest of the year it’s quiet streets and big yards, and lawn care in Clermont is mostly about keeping up with them.
Clermont lots are far larger than what we mow in Speedway — many run a half acre or more, with open side yards, long frontages and roadside drainage ditches. That scale suits a wide-deck mower and a fixed weekly day. We handle residential lawn care in Clermont from the first spring cut through the last fall cleanup.
Big Yards, Ditches and Swales: What Clermont Lawns Need
Clermont feels semi-rural for a Marion County town. Homes range from older frame houses near the Crawfordsville Road crossroads to ranches and newer builds on larger parcels, many without curb and gutter. Stormwater moves through open ditches and grassy swales instead of pipes.
Why the schedule matters
Swales stay wet for days after a spring storm, and grass in them grows faster than the rest of the yard. Skip a week in May and the swale is too tall and too soft to cut cleanly, and ruts follow. A disciplined weekly schedule — plus the judgment to trim a saturated swale by hand rather than drive through it — keeps drainage working and the yard even.
- Soil: heavy clay that drains slowly, especially in low back corners
- Lot size: half-acre-plus parcels with long road frontage
- Edges: gravel drives and ditch banks that call for string-trimming, not a hard edge
- Weeds: broadleaf pressure drifting in from open ground nearby
Septic fields and soft spots
Some of the larger parcels toward the Hendricks County line still carry a septic field in the back yard. You can often spot the lines in July as parallel green stripes that grow faster than the turf around them. We mow those areas on the same schedule but keep off them when the ground is soaked, since mower weight on a saturated drain field compacts the soil the system depends on. Tell us where the tank lid sits and we mark it in your route notes.
From Crawfordsville Road to Raceway Road
A typical spring call comes from a ranch on a side street off Crawfordsville Road: half an acre, a front ditch that held water through April, and a homeowner tired of getting the mower stuck. We set a standing route day, trim the wet swale by hand until it firms up, and keep the rest of the yard at 3.5 inches all season with weekly lawn mowing.
Out toward Raceway Road, larger parcels with tree lines usually need a spring yard cleanup to clear winter limbs and matted leaves before the first mow. Our spring lawn cleanup checklist walks through the order we work in.
Come October, those same lots collect leaves from the wooded edges toward Eagle Creek Park, so many Clermont customers add fall leaf removal to their route.

Lawn Services We Provide in Clermont
- Lawn Mowing in ClermontHalf-acre lots and wet roadside swales need a firm weekly schedule; letting one cycle slide in May leaves ditches too tall and soft to cut cleanly.
- Yard Cleanups in ClermontWooded lot edges and open ground drop limbs and debris all winter, so a spring cleanup is usually the first Clermont visit of the season.
- Leaf Removal in ClermontTree lines on larger Clermont parcels shed heavy leaf loads in late October that need to come off before they mat down over wet clay.
- Storm Cleanup in ClermontOpen, semi-rural lots take the brunt of spring thunderstorms, and downed limbs lodged in ditches block drainage until someone clears them out.
- Weed Control in ClermontBroadleaf weeds creep into lawns from adjacent open ground; fall is the most effective time to treat them and push the line back.

Why Clermont Property Owners Trust a Crew Ten Minutes Away
A short run out Crawfordsville Road
Clermont is one of our quickest drives from Speedway. Short travel lets us spend the time where Clermont yards need it, on long frontages and ditch banks, and come straight back when a storm or soggy swale pushes a visit.
Judgment on wet ground
We know which swales hold water into May and which back corners stay soft. Trimming by hand instead of rutting the yard is a routine call here, and it is the reason Clermont lawns stay even through a wet spring.
Scheduling around the dragstrip
Labor Day weekend brings the NHRA U.S. Nationals to the raceway next door, right in the middle of the fall seeding window. We plan aeration and overseeding around that traffic so your seed still goes down inside the window instead of waiting out the crowds.
Big-lot jobs finished properly
Steve Quinnette switched to us after 19 years with another lawn company and said we went “above and beyond” his expectations. On a half-acre Clermont lot, that shows up in the trimmed ditch lines, a cleared gravel drive and a gate latched behind us.
Why Homeowners Trust Speedway Lawn Maintenance
4.8★ from 38 Google reviews. Here's what customers across our service area say about the work:
“Probably my 5th year… my yard looks great!”
This is probably my 5th year with this company. Cameron complies with my wishes with regard to my preferences in height of mower settings and also with trimming. I guess this “ole” lady is pretty picky. He keeps me happy and my yard looks great! I can highly recommend.
“Very thorough, extremely reliable… we love the way he edges.”
I had a good vibe about this young man when I first discovered him on Nextdoor. Then, when I met him, my instincts told me he was the one. I was right. I had gone thru many before him. He has mowed my yard for the past several years and is EXCELLENT. He's very thorough, extremely reliable, pays good attention to details and we love the way he edges. I've always been very pleased with all his work and I'm very particular.

FAQ
Lawn Care FAQs for Clermont
Is Clermont close enough for weekly service?
Easily. Clermont is about 10–12 minutes from our Speedway base along Crawfordsville Road, one of our shortest drives. Larger lots take longer to mow, but the travel is minimal, so we can hold a steady weekly day and come back quickly when weather pushes a visit.
How do you mow wet drainage swales in Clermont?
Carefully. After heavy rain, the swale is the last part of a Clermont yard to firm up, and driving a mower through it tears turf and leaves ruts. We string-trim soft areas by hand, mow the rest on schedule, and cut the swale properly once it dries. That keeps the ditch shaped and draining.
Do race weekends affect your Clermont schedule?
Occasionally. Traffic on Crawfordsville Road and around Raceway Road picks up during big events at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park, so we plan routes around them. If your regular day lands on a major event weekend, we’ll text ahead and shift the visit by a day rather than skip it.
How often should a large Clermont lot be mowed?
Weekly from mid-April through June, when cool-season grass grows fastest and swales stay wet. In July and August, dry stretches can allow an every-other-week schedule without breaking the one-third rule. Holding larger lots at 3.5–4 inches reduces heat stress, shades the clay and keeps field weeds from gaining a foothold.
Can you handle leaves on wooded Clermont lots?
Yes. Parcels that back onto tree lines toward Eagle Creek Park collect heavy leaf loads from late October into mid-November. We mulch light drops into the turf during regular mowing, then clear heavier piles with a dedicated leaf visit so they don’t mat over wet clay. A wooded lot usually needs one or two passes, timed to when their trees actually drop.
