Lawn questions
Common lawn questions.
Do I need to provide the mower?
No. We bring our own — 21-inch deck, self-propelled, mulching plus bagging modes. If you have specific requirements (ride-on for a big lot, electric for a noise-restricted condo), tell us at booking and we adjust.
How often should I have the lawn mowed?
Weekly during peak growth (May through July) keeps the cut at one-third blade height — the rule that produces a thicker, weed-resistant lawn. Biweekly works in spring and fall. We can lock in either schedule.
Where do the leaves and clippings go?
We haul them. Leaves get bagged in heavy contractor bags and either hauled to a municipal compost site or — if your town has curbside pickup — staged at the curb for collection. Clippings get mulched onto the lawn unless you'd rather we bag them.
Can you handle big hedge trims and shaping?
Up to about 12 feet, yes. Privet, boxwood, yew, and arborvitae are routine. Higher than that we tap a tree-service partner — different gear, different insurance.
