Need lawn service recommendation

[meridian5850]

I'm looking for a service that mows based on if the grass needs cut and not the time of year.

My current guy mows weekly during the main growing season, but as soon as November comes, he changes to every other week regardless of the temperature, even if the grass is still growing due to warm weather. 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 doubt it, but you would be paying twice as much for the service. You may want to try reducing the watering times for your irrigation system. I reduced mine from 20 minutes per zone to 5 minutes, and the grass still looks fine.

How would a provider know if Meri's lawn needs mowing??? Inspect?? Meri calls??? Sounds problematic & difficult to schedule. :shrug:

I’ve had Scot at 2 Jonesboro, I’m in fenney now , none of them will mow all the time but he will if needed and he still comes out to check for weeds and things he does a good job trimming and he’s helpful if you need little things around home 3524613133

If temps are in the 60s, it's still growing normally. My grass was cut two weeks ago and needed it this week, but he said he won't be out 'til next week to do the regularly scheduled December mowing. Even if temps are above normal in Dec. he'll only cut once. I'm looking for someone who will continue to cut based on growth and not the calendar if the grass is still growing.

Thanks. I'll give him a call.

Is it true that the Villages fines you if your lawns arent meticulously maintained? Is that why you want it cut more often?

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.

I'm looking for lawn care that will cut with a push mower rather than a heavy rider. Anyone out there have a service that will use a push mower, even at $5/month extra?

They all cut like the OP described. Hardly at all in the cold months when the grass is making roots not blades.

Post here.

Bernie Coluccio from B & B III Home Services. He will come out every week regardless of the weather and check to see if he needs to mow or not. If he does not need to mow he will do something… Such as edging, spraying weeds, etc. He has never missed a week with us. Best service ever. He also is a handyman.

perhaps schedule a weekly, or every other week schedule? we use deans for everything from termites to mowing, etc. , they are VERY flexible. yes, they MIGHT cost a bit more, but we've been very pleased with their services, & workers are always ready to help

I recommend Custom Cut! Honest and reliable!!

Our lawn guy charges $600 per year and does a great job. They work their A$$es off during the hot summer months, sometimes mow twice per week in intense heat. They don’t have to mow as often, or work as hard in the winter, but it all balances out over the course of the entire year. I think that is a very reasonable deal.

Well, my guy won't ever cut more than once a week and goes to every other week starting in November regardless of the temperature. So if we still have warm weather, doesn't matter to him, it only gets cut every other week. This is the reason I'm looking for someone who will cut based on temperature and not the calendar.

added footnote: Dean's never charged us until a notification is sent to email. it describes the services, cost, estimated date they would work, etc. i may opt out of that specific service if i like, but typically is something i already agreed to pay for.
