Also, I have read everything about their lawn services on their website, and it says nothing about mowing the lawn. I know they did this in the past, but I'm not sure they now provide this service to new customers. Am I missing something?

Dean's does not provide any irrigation system maintenance or repair, or shrub trimming.
The junk Augustine will never improve, no matter what lawn company you use. Cheaper to rip up and install good sod. No worries on shrub trimming, with the spec plants it will be years before they grow more than a few inches. Still waiting to see if they will surpass a foot in two years.
South of 44 just need a filter on irrigation, and good to go for a year or more. Faster to call the guy. We have 3 in our neighborhood.
