Lawn Maintenance

Every visit we mow the lawn, stringtrim large weeds, and blow all hard surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, curbs and porches/patios. Our height of cut is around 2.5 – 2.75 inches for all customers. Every other visit we edge the lawn by using a rigid steel blade along driveways, sidewalks and curbs for a sharp edge and a line trimmer along shrub beds for a smooth edge. Our crew is trained to rotate mowing directions; they also tour the lawn area to blow clumps/debris.

Our schedule is weekly visits from March through October and twice a month visits from November through February. We don’t have contracts, but do require a minimum of 6 consecutive mowing visits plus one fertilizer application to get into our maintenance schedule.

During the Winter months (November-February) our crew will evaluate the lawn at each visit; if they are unable to mow due to weather or lawn condition they will instead do a Winter Cleanup. This includes raking & hauling leaves/lawn debris, cleaning shrub beds, edging the lawn, blowing hard surfaces and the lawn, and stringtrimming weeds.

We also include Leaf Raking (additional fee) during the Winter months with each Maintenance visit. Our crews will rake or blow the leaves into piles and haul them away. Please let us know if you prefer to rake your own leaves!

Every other month (six times per year) a licensed spray technician in a dedicated spray truck will apply the following:

  • Round 1: Winter Fertilizer with Moss Control
  • Round 2: Slow Release Spring Fertilizer with Color Boost
  • Round 3: Summer Fertilizer with Weed Control
  • Round 4: Summer Fertilizer with Weed Control
  • Round 5: Fall Fertilizer with Insect Control (European Cranefly & Chafer Beetle)
  • Round 6: Winter Fertilizer with Moss Control

During the Fertilizer visits our technician will tour shrub bed areas, gravel areas, driveway and sidewalk cracks and spot spray non-selective weed control.

After every application we recommend staying off the lawn for 2-4 hours to give the fertilizer time to dry/make its way down to the root zone. This prevents the risk of transfer as well as allowing the lawn time to absorb the nutrients. Our technicians are licensed and receive ongoing training; our equipment is seasonally calibrated and cleaned.
