I moved into my newly constructed home in November, and deferred landscaping services as the lawn and plants were going dormant. I am wondering if I should get started now as the grass is turning green. I have a Lily on a small lot - how much should I expect to pay for lawn cuts? Thanks for any advice on pricing and recommendations!
We maintain our lawn and have it mowed regularly, but of course, not when it is dormant. It usually doesn't have to be mowed in January at all. I think the average lawn mowing cost is $45 to $60/month depending on size.

You can do rock anytime. I don't think you should plant anything new until the danger of frost is past. Probably March.
