A good cut starts with the right height.

What this covers

Mowing is the most frequent thing done to a lawn, and it has the biggest effect on how it looks. Cutting too short stresses the grass and lets weeds in; cutting too rarely leaves clippings that smother it. A maintenance request starts with the grass type, how fast it grows in your season, and anything that gets in the way: gates, slopes, beds and play equipment.

Each visit usually pairs the cut with the details that make a lawn look finished: edging along walks and drives, trimming around beds and fences, and blowing clippings off hard surfaces. Ask how the schedule changes when growth slows in summer heat or picks up after rain.

Mowing & Maintenance questions

It depends on the grass and the season. Growth is fastest in spring and fall. The business will suggest a frequency and explain how it adjusts through the year.
Returning clippings to the lawn is common, but it depends on the grass and how much is cut. Ask which the business does and whether bagging is an option.
Wet grass can tear and rut. The business will explain how it reschedules around weather.
