Default Hire a lawn service for only 1 month?

We'll move to TV in August. We're thinking of doing our own lawn mowing- except we may spend a month up north each year. Two questions:

1) Are there companies who would do lawn service only on an as needed basis?
2) Typically what is involved in doing lawn care in TV other than mowing?

Thanks!

It’s hard to find a lawn company that will show up every week. Once a year sorry not going to happen, but I c@n see them asking for up front money and never showing up. If you chose winter months lawn grows very slow, summer your neighbors will be at your door for long grass. You might find a neighbor to mow, and you reciprocate for them

For a month, i would just let it grow and mow when you get back,
or just use word of mouth around the neighborhood for someone to do it for you once in the second week. .

don't over think the lawn for a month. . .
