Is the contract monthly or yearly?

Do your crews speak English and can I talk with them if needed?
Yes. Every crew member speaks English and can communicate with the customer as needed. If you have a question or concern, it is preferred that you contact the office. This way, if any changes or modifications are required, they are properly documented and accounted for.
-
Should I request to have the grass clippings bagged?
Grass clippings should not be bagged if the lawn is being mowed properly. Ideally only 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut during any mowing. Clippings contain nitrogen and other nutrients. When returned to the lawn, clippings recycle nutrients in an organic, slow-release form that promotes steady grass growth. Grass clippings break down quickly and also encourage the beneficial earthworms and microorganisms that maintain healthy grass and healthy soil.
-
What height do you mow the lawn?
Mowing heights vary during the mowing season, depending on current weather conditions. Lawns are most healthy when mowed at 3 to 3.5 inches. To prevent grass from matting over the winter, mowing height can be adjusted to 2.5 to 3 inches on the last mowing of the season. Mowing at a lower height for the winter also helps to eliminate leaves from matting up in the grass.
-
Should I choose weekly or bi-weekly mowing?
All lawns should be mowed on a weekly basis in the spring and fall when the weather is cooler and there is more precipitation. During the hot summer months of July and August, mowing on a bi-weekly basis is appropriate. All properties with irrigation systems should be mowed on weekly basis. Ideally, only 1/3 of the grass blade should be cut during any mowing. When it is cool or the lawn is being watered, waiting more than one week allows for more than 1/3 of the grass blade to be cut and thatch buildup can occur.
