Lawn mowing and trimming

Most yards around here are a front lawn, a backyard and a fence line. We mow on a set weekday, string trim around posts, the mailbox, the swing set and along the fence, and blow clippings off the walks and driveway before we leave.

  • String trimming around obstacles
  • Clippings blown off walks and the drive
  • Gates closed behind us

No. 02With mowing or on its own

Lawn edging

A clean edge is what makes a mowed lawn look finished. We cut a crisp vertical line where the grass meets the sidewalk, the driveway and the curb, take back grass creeping over the concrete and blow the cut line clean.

  • Sidewalk and driveway edges
  • Curb line along the street
  • Grass taken back off the concrete
  • Cut line blown clean

No. 03Fall and early spring

Leaf cleanup

Maples and oaks drop a lot of leaves on Frederick County yards from October on, and whatever is left over winter mats down on the lawn. We blow and rake leaves off the grass, out of beds and corners, load them up and take them away.

  • Leaves blown and raked off the lawn
  • Beds and fence corners cleared
  • Leaves loaded and hauled away
  • Walks and drive blown clean

Spring and fall yard cleanup

A seasonal cleanup gets the yard back to a clean start. We pick up fallen sticks and twigs, rake out matted leaves and old clippings, clear the litter that collects along fences and under the deck, and haul it all away.

  • Fallen sticks and twigs picked up
  • Matted leaves raked out
  • Fence lines and corners cleared
  • Everything hauled away

Shrub and hedge trimming

Foundation shrubs grow fast through a valley summer. We shape boxwoods, hollies, yews and hedges that can be reached from the ground, keep them off windows, walks and the porch rail, and rake every clipping out of the beds.

  • Shaping from the ground
  • Clearance from windows and walks
  • Clippings raked up and hauled away

Mulch and bed care

Fresh mulch keeps beds neat and holds moisture through July. We pull weeds by hand, recut the bed edge with a spade and spread a fresh layer of mulch around the shrubs and perennials you already have.

  • Weeds pulled by hand
  • Bed edges recut with a spade
  • Fresh mulch spread evenly
