PMT Lawn & Landscape
Landscaping Company in Franklin, IN
Century old trees, brick downtown streets, creek bottom drainage, and newer subdivisions on the edges. Franklin properties are rarely simple, and we like that.
Franklin, Indiana
A County Seat With Real Landscape History
Franklin has landscapes that predate almost everything else we work on. PMT Lawn & Landscape maintains properties around the courthouse square, in the older streets near Franklin College and Province Park, and out in the newer additions along State Road 44 and North Main. Call (317) 910-1257 and we will tell you what we would do differently on your block, or request an estimate.
The older parts of town are full of Victorians, foursquares, and craftsman homes on deep, narrow lots with tree canopy that has been in place for a hundred years. Those yards need restraint. Grading around an old oak, cutting a bed line that respects a covered porch, and choosing plant material that suits the architecture matters more than adding anything new. Get it wrong and the property looks like a suburban package dropped in front of a historic house.
Water
Youngs Creek, Hurricane Creek, and Where Water Goes
Franklin sits along Youngs Creek with Hurricane Creek to the north, and anyone who has lived here through a heavy spring knows how quickly the low ground responds. Even well away from the flood fringe, the creek bottom soils hold water, and a yard that drains fine in September can be spongy for a week in March.
We deal with that before we deal with grass. Regrading a low corner, extending downspouts past the foundation, and building a rock lined swale to carry runoff to the street will do more for a struggling lawn than another round of fertilizer. Once water moves, a lawn treatment program finally has something to work with.

Growing Grass in a Hundred Years of Shade
Under a mature Franklin canopy, turf is competing for light, water, and root space, and it usually loses on all three. Pretending otherwise costs homeowners money every year in seed that never establishes.
Sometimes the honest answer is more bed and less lawn. Where turf can be saved, fall aeration and overseeding with the right seed is what saves it, followed by a thorough seasonal cleanup so leaves do not smother the new stand. Standalone leaf removal is available for the heaviest canopy lots.
- Shade tolerant fescue blends instead of standard sun mixes
- Higher mowing heights to protect stressed turf
- Bed expansions where turf will never succeed
- Heavy leaf removal before winter snow mold sets in
- Careful work around surface roots and old grade changes
The PMT Difference
A Lawn & Landscape Company You Can Trust
Homeowners, property managers, and facility teams across Johnson County keep working with us for the same handful of reasons.
01
We know Central Indiana ground
Heavy clay soil, cool-season turf, and Indiana's swing from wet spring to dry August all change how a property should be treated. We plan around the conditions we work in every day.
02
We treat the property like our own
Clean edges, blown-off walks, straightened bed lines. The details you would notice at your own house are the details we finish every visit with.
03
We show up on time and communicate
You know who is coming, when they are coming, and what happens next. From the first estimate through the last cleanup of the season.
