Then, starting in December, he cuts only once a month until "growing" season begins in spring.

So, does anyone have a service that continues to cut weekly if the temperatures are still warm? I'm in Fenney.
I don't think "a bit" longer is a problem, but you might. My guy, who is excellent, goes to every other week, November through March. He does, however, alter that schedule if/when needed. He also advised me that I should cut watering to less than half the summer schedule, or spots would appear in the lawn. I'm at 15 minutes, twice a week.
