Outdoor services for year-round upkeep

Use this page to choose the right type of service — recurring maintenance, seasonal work, optional add-ons, or assessment-required projects.

Core maintenance

Lawn Maintenance

Routine mowing to keep the lawn looking neat week to week. Frequency depends on growth and expectations.

Typically includes:
  • Mowing
  • Trimming around edges/obstacles
  • Trimming along pavement edges where accessible (curbs, walks, driveway cracks)
  • Blow-off of hard surfaces
Seasonal: Apr–Oct
Choosing the Right Lawn Maintenance Plan

Every property is different, and homeowners have different expectations for how their yard should look. These options are designed to match those expectations — from simple upkeep to high-detail presentation.

Note: bed maintenance, mulch, and plant trimming are typically seasonal services, not part of routine mowing.

Typical scope Basic Maintenance Finished Appearance Manicured Maintenance
Lawn mowing Included Included High-detail mowing
Trimming Around obstacles Full trimming around obstacles Full trimming + crack trimming
Edges / hard surfaces Pavement edge trimming where accessible Maintained edges + hard-surface weed control Sharp weekly edges + crack trimming
Cleanup Clear clippings from hard surfaces Full surface cleanup (walks, driveway, entry areas) Enhanced presentation (full detail + cleanup)
Hard-surface weeds Visible areas only Controlled hard-surface weeds Active control + detail work
Best for Simple routine upkeep is the priority. A clean, defined look throughout the season. Appearance is a top priority and detail matters.
Not sure which level is right?

During the estimate, we review the property and recommend a service level based on lawn condition and your expectations.

How Often Should a Lawn Be Cut?

Lawn growth changes a lot throughout the season. During peak growing months, waiting too long between cuts can stress the lawn and make it harder to maintain a clean appearance.

Choosing the right mowing frequency helps protect lawn health and keeps the property looking consistently maintained.

Weekly
The most common schedule. Best for keeping growth under control and results consistent.
Benefits
  • More consistent appearance
  • Healthier growth
  • Cleaner mowing results
  • Less clipping buildup
  • Better edge definition
Best for
Appearance and lawn health are a priority.
Bi-weekly
Can work for some slower-growing lawns or lower-maintenance properties. During peak growth, grass may get too tall between visits.
Considerations
  • Grass can be much taller between visits
  • Clipping buildup may occur
  • Appearance can vary more week to week
Best for
A simpler schedule, and appearance is less critical.
Monthly / occasional
Usually only fits when grass is intentionally kept longer. In most cases, routine maintenance needs more frequent visits.
Considerations
  • The lawn may become overgrown between visits
  • Extra cleanup may be required
  • Results depend heavily on growth conditions
Not sure which schedule fits?

If you're unsure, we can review the lawn during the estimate and recommend a schedule based on growth conditions and your expectations.

Seasonal services

  • Mulch has thinned and edges need to be re-cut
  • Leaves/debris are building up and the property needs a reset
Spring
  • Spring Cleanup: Debris removal, edging, and a reset after winter.
  • Mulch Installation: Bed edging + mulch install to sharpen lines.
Mid-season
  • Bed Weeding: Hand-weeding to keep beds clean.
  • Shrub / Hedge Trimming: Trims for shape, clearance, and clean lines.
Fall
  • Fall Cleanup: Leaf removal to protect turf going into winter. Most properties need 2–3 visits depending on tree coverage.
