What’s Included With Our Lawn Mowing

Our mowing service is designed to keep your lawn looking sharp from curb to backyard. Each visit typically includes:

Professional Mowing

Regular mowing helps your grass stay thick, healthy, and attractive. We follow a dependable schedule so your lawn doesn’t get overgrown and stressed.

Hard Edging

We edge along sidewalks, driveways, and bed lines for crisp, clean borders that instantly improve curb appeal.

String Trimming

We trim around trees, fences, posts, and tight areas your mower can’t reach, so the whole yard looks uniform.

Blowing & Cleanup

When we’re done, we blow clippings and debris off hard surfaces (driveways, walkways, patios) so your outdoor spaces are tidy and ready to enjoy.

Weekly vs. Biweekly Mowing: What’s Best?

Most Durham lawns look best with weekly mowing during peak growth, especially after rain or fertilizer applications. Biweekly mowing can work for slower-growth periods or smaller lawns, but it can also lead to longer clippings and a less “freshly cut” look.

​

Not sure which schedule fits your lawn? We’ll recommend a frequency based on:

• Grass type (Bermuda vs tall fescue)

• Shade vs sun

• Growth rate during the season

• How “manicured” you want the lawn to look week-to-week

Mowing Height Matters (Bermuda vs Tall Fescue)

Cutting at the right height is one of the simplest ways to improve lawn health.

​

Tall Fescue (Cool-Season Turf)
NC State Extension commonly recommends mowing fescue around 2.5–3.5 inches (often higher in summer), and mowing frequently enough that you don’t remove more than one-third of the blade at a time.

Bermudagrass (Warm-Season Turf)
Bermuda performs best when mowed consistently and not allowed to get too tall; NC State Extension notes mowing before it exceeds about 2.5 inches during active growth and avoiding scalping.

​

We aim for the right cut and consistency for your turf so your lawn looks good and stays resilient through Durham’s heat and summer storms.
