Regular lawn care or a seasonal cleanup?

Regular lawn care is the weekly or every-other-week routine: mow, edge and blow. It keeps the grass at a healthy height and the yard looking finished all season. A seasonal cleanup is a bigger, one-time job. In spring, it clears out what winter left behind so the lawn can grow in well. In fall, it gathers leaves, branches and debris before they mat down and smother the grass. Many homeowners book both: regular mowing during the growing season and a cleanup at each end. Your pro sets the mower height for your grass, keeps edges clean along every walk and drive, and blows clippings off hard surfaces before leaving, so the yard looks finished, not just cut.

How often should your lawn be mowed?

Most lawns look best mowed once a week during the growing season, when grass grows fastest. As growth slows, every other week is often enough. Cutting too little at a time is better than cutting too much: taking off more than about a third of the blade at once can stress the grass. Your grass type, rainfall and how much sun the yard gets all play a part. Where winters are cold, mowing usually pauses for the season, and a spring cleanup gets things started again. A Yard & Pool Plan or a Spring Refresh bundle can keep everything on schedule.
