Convenient Scheduling Options
We recommend our seasonal weekly mowing schedule to keep your lawn looking it’s best. This service includes weekly mowing April through October, and biweekly mowing in March and November, and mowing upon request December through February (when no mowing is scheduled).
Alternately, you might choose our seasonal biweekly mowing program, which includes service every two weeks from March through November, with mowing upon request December through February. If you’re seeking an economical option that stops your lawn from getting completely out of hand, biweekly, or as needed mowing will suffice, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the same optimal results with this scheduling option as with our weekly service.
