Lawn mowing in Winter Garden
Most Florida lawns are cut too short. Yours is cut at the height its grass actually needs, edged every visit, and the number goes on your yard card.
What’s included
What every mowing visit includes
Mowing is the one service your lawn gets every week, so it is the one worth getting exactly right.
- Mowing at the right height for your grass, set at the walkthrough
- Edging along the driveway, walks and beds
- String trimming around trees, fences and the mailbox
- Blowing off the drive, walks and porch, and clippings returned to the lawn
How we do it
How we mow a Florida lawn
Height is agronomy, not a preference
St. Augustine wants 3.5 to 4 inches, Bahia 3 to 4, Zoysia 2 to 2.5. Cut St. Augustine at two inches and the runners burn, weeds get the light, and the fix takes a season.
A sharp blade every week
A sharp blade cuts; a dull one tears, and a torn tip browns and lets brown patch in. Blades are checked on site and swapped when they need it.
The one-third rule in rainy season
Never more than a third of the blade in one cut. In July we come when the grass needs it, and if the yard is too wet to cut without rutting, we come back.
Pricing
What affects the price
Every job is priced after a free walkthrough, in writing and line by line, so the number doesn’t change on the day.
How the free walkthrough worksYour price depends on
- Lawn size and how much of it is open turf
- Weekly or every-other-week visits
- Gates, slopes and obstacles to trim around
- Whether beds, hedges or irrigation checks are added
Questions
Lawn mowing & edging questions
How short should my grass be cut?
It depends on the grass. St. Augustine does best at 3.5 to 4 inches, Bahia at 3 to 4, Zoysia at 2 to 2.5. We identify yours at the walkthrough and cut at that height every visit.
How often do you mow in summer?
Every week from spring through the rainy season, when Florida grass grows fastest. In the cooler months most lawns go to every other week, and the plan follows the grass.
Do you bag the clippings?
Usually not. Returned clippings feed the lawn and hold moisture. We bag when the lawn is diseased or after a wet stretch let the growth get ahead, and the card says which.
Do I need to be home?
No. We need the gate unlocked or the code, and a heads-up about the dog. The yard card tells you what was done.
