What a mowing visit covers

We mow the front and back lawn, string trim around the mailbox, posts, play sets and along the fence, and blow clippings off the walks, porch steps and driveway. Gates are closed behind us.

You do not need to be home. Leave the gate unlocked on your day and keep pets inside while we work.

Weekly or every other week

In late spring the grass grows fast, so weekly mowing keeps it even. In the heat of midsummer some lawns slow down and every other week is enough. We talk it through at the estimate visit.

Cutting height

Most lawns in the valley are tall fescue, which stays greener through summer when it is left a little long. We keep the deck up in hot weather and take off no more than about a third of the blade at a time.

Questions

Questions about lawn mowing and trimming

Do I need to be home on mowing day?

No. Leave the gate unlocked and pets inside. If something needs your attention we call or text.

What if it rains on my day?

We do not mow soaked grass because it tears and ruts. If weather moves a visit, we let you know and come on the next workable day.

Do you bag the clippings?

Clippings are usually left on the lawn, where they break down. If you prefer them bagged, tell us and we note it on your estimate.
