It's not about the money (rates are very reasonable) but I want my lawn to look good without having to buy a mower for Oct 1-Nov 15. Do all landscapers start every other week Oct 1st ?
You should not remove more than 1/3 of the length of the grass blade. Typically the mowing services do it once a week.
Actually proper when the grass is growing rapidly would be about every five days son once a week is really not often enough/
It is now 10/20 and it has been unusually warm. My lawn is still growing-not going dormant-so it need to be mowed.
