Lawn & Property Care
Lawn Mowing
Sharp blades, straight lines and the same crew every week. Your lawn cut properly, edged tight and blown clean, all season long.
A good cut is more than short grass. Mowing too low, with dull blades or on the same lines every week stresses turf, invites weeds and leaves ruts in soft ground. Groundwork Landscaping mows on a set schedule at the height your lawn needs for the time of year, then trims, edges and blows off every hard surface before we leave.
What's included
- Mowing at the right height, usually around 7.5 to 9 cm, and never more than a third of the blade at once.
- String trimming around fences, beds, trees, posts and the house.
- Edging along driveways, walkways and curbs for a clean, sharp line.
- Blow-off of the driveway, walks, patio and steps so no clippings are left behind.
- Clippings mulched back in, or bagged and removed if you prefer.
- A heads-up on problems, like grubs, dry spots, disease or a broken sprinkler head, when we see them.
How the season runs
- Walk the property. We note the lawn size, gates, slopes, pets and anything to avoid.
- Set the schedule. Weekly through the spring flush, with the same day each week wherever we can.
- Adjust with the weather. We raise the deck in summer heat and skip or delay cuts in drought or soaking rain.
- Finish the year right. A slightly lower final cut in the fall helps prevent snow mould.

Mowing keeps a lawn neat, but a thick lawn comes from feeding and soil care. Pair weekly cuts with fertilization and weed control and fall aeration and overseeding, or see a ballpark for your property in the instant estimate.
What affects the cost of lawn mowing
Mowing is priced per visit, mostly on the size of the lawn and how long it takes to cut, trim and edge. Slopes, gates, tight side yards, lots of beds and trees to trim around and bagging clippings add time. Weekly service usually costs less per cut than bi-weekly or one-time cuts, because the grass is shorter each visit.
Lawn Mowing questions
How often should my lawn be mowed?
Weekly through spring and early summer, when grass grows fastest. In the heat of July and August, or a dry spell, every second week is often enough.
Do you bag the clippings?
We usually mulch them back into the lawn, which returns nutrients to the soil. If you'd like them bagged and taken away, we can do that.
What happens when it rains on my day?
We move your cut to the next dry day. Mowing soaked turf tears the grass and ruts soft ground, so a short delay is better for the lawn.
Do I need to be home?
No. Leave gates unlocked and pets inside, and let us know about any toys, hoses or hidden sprinkler heads.
Can you cut my lawn shorter so it lasts longer between visits?
We don't recommend it. Cutting too short scalps the lawn, dries it out and lets weeds move in. A taller cut grows thicker and greener.
Do you mow the boulevard and the ditch too?
Yes. The strip between the sidewalk and the street is part of your regular cut, along with ditches and the lawn beside the driveway, as long as it's safe to mow.
When does the mowing season start and end?
Usually mid to late April through early November in Windsor-Essex, depending on the weather. The first and last cuts are timed to the grass, not the calendar.
