Lawn Care & Mowing FAQ for Philadelphia Homeowners

How often should Philadelphia homeowners get lawn care & mowing?
Given Philadelphia's cold winters with freeze-thaw cycles damaging mortar, most homeowners benefit from lawn care & mowing at least once a year. Winter ice dam and mortar damage often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Philadelphia most need lawn care & mowing?
Red brick rowhouses (very common) and Twin and semi-detached homes are the most common home types in Philadelphia and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How often should my lawn be mowed?
Most lawns need mowing every 7–14 days during the growing season. Fast-growing warm-season grasses like Bermuda may need weekly mowing in summer.
What height should my lawn be mowed?
It depends on your grass type. Cool-season grasses (fescue, bluegrass) thrive at 3–4 inches. Warm-season grasses (Bermuda, zoysia) prefer 1.5–2.5 inches. Never remove more than one-third of the blade at once.
Should I bag or mulch clippings?
Mulching returns nutrients to the soil and is generally preferred. Bagging is better when grass is very tall or when you're dealing with disease or weeds going to seed.
Do you bring your own equipment?
Yes. Our crews arrive with professional-grade mowers, trimmers, and blowers. You don't need to provide anything.
