"Used Bruce for the first time yesterday and found him to be an excellent contractor. His communication was outstanding even when we experienced 3 days of constant rain holding up the work. He did an excellent job of cutting and I found his pricing to be fair and logical. Overall, his is an excellent resource for Lawn cutting. -"

Customers say: Quality work

"Did great job woth drainage diverting from back and side of house. But misunderstood other area where we had problems with standing water. Asked for Jordan to come back to discuss other options but often do not get replies. Never got a bill for lawn mowing, sent a text and left voice mail asking if he received it. Also asked if his company will continue to do lawn maintenance. Still no reply. Had to find another company for lawn maintenance."

Lawn Care FAQs, answered by experts

When spring arrives, it’s best to hold off on mowing until temperatures have consistently reached a temperature of at least 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Attempting to mow grass that hasn't fully thawed from its winter dormancy can harm the delicate blades. Ensure your grass is dry before mowing and aim to mow when the grass is about three to four inches tall, trimming no more than one-third of the grass blade's height at a time. This timing encourages healthy growth and prevents shock to the grass, preparing your lawn for a happy, healthy growing season.

Wait at least three weeks after overseeding ryegrass before breaking out the lawn mower. Mowing sooner will tear up much of the delicate, newly seeded ryegrass as it won't have established strong roots to anchor it yet.

A standard home lawn mower with sharp blades can handle a thin layer of leaves without issue. You may need to make a couple of passes within several days to mulch leaves down, but your mower shouldn’t struggle. If your mower comes with a mulching kit, like an attachment to blow leaves out the side, that’s a good sign it’s ready for fall leaves. Set your mower to the highest or near-highest height for this project so it focuses on the leaves rather than the grass below.

Mow before aeration. After you've aerated the lawn, you can fertilize, water, and overseed. But wait at least two weeks after aeration before you mow.

No, you don’t need to edge your lawn every time you mow it, but you can if that’s your preference. Some homeowners edge their lawns weekly, every other week, monthly, or at the start of a new season (more likely for those with landscaping material like brick, plastic, or metal edging). It’s up to you how often you edge, and it depends on how quickly your grass grows and how crisp you want your edge lines to be.
