Mowing

Our mowing schedule varies depending on the season. The mowing season starts in spring. A consistent height will help your lawn thrive. Our crew follows the one-third rule when mowing your lawn, which means we cut the top one-third of grass. Cutting more than a third of your lawn can damage your turf and cause health and appearance issues. Leaving your grass too high can attract bugs and pests. If your grass is too short, your lawn could burn and become brittle. In the summer, grass needs to be kept a little longer. This will help protect your yard from the summer heat. Our crew will blow the leftover clippings back onto your lawn. They provide nutrients for the soil and a protective layer from the sun.

Mowing during the fall time is still necessary. Your grass will continue to grow until the first serious frost. Keeping a consistent height is very important as the weather cools down. If your grass is too long when snow falls, it can mat and be exposed to snow mold. It is also important to not cut your grass too short. This can impact the way your lawn handles the cold weather.
