Don’t Hire a Company to Mow Your Lawn Unless They Do These 3 Things!

Keeping your lawn in Alabama looking its best throughout the growing season requires regular mowing, which is why hiring a company to handle this task for you is a great idea. However, you'll want to make sure that the company you hire provides a comprehensive lawn mowing service. When hiring a company to mow your lawn, you'll want to make sure that they will mow your lawn on a weekly basis throughout the growing season to keep up with your grass's growth.

The company should also include additional services besides just mowing your lawn to give your property a manicured look, such as string-trimming, edging, and blowing debris off of hard surfaces. What's more, you'll want to make sure that they follow best practices when mowing your lawn to ensure they don't cause damage to your turf.

1. The lawn maintenance company should mow your lawn weekly throughout the growing season.

During the growing season, your lawn will grow rapidly. To keep up with this growth, you'll want to make sure that the company you hire to mow your lawn will visit your property on a weekly basis. By mowing your lawn every week, the lawn maintenance team will be able to keep your grass at the perfect height throughout the growing season, allowing it to look its best.

2. Look for a mowing company that includes additional services, like string-trimming, edging, and blowing debris.

While mowing your lawn is the main part of a lawn mowing service, you'll want to make sure that the company you hire will also include additional services to give your property a manicured look. These services include:

• String Trimming: This service involves using a string trimmer to cut any grass that the mower couldn't reach, such as around trees, fences, and other obstacles.
• Edging: This involves creating a crisp, clean line between your grass and any nearby hardscapes such as driveways, sidewalks, and walkways.
• Blowing Debris Off of Hardscapes: This additional service involves blowing any grass clippings or other debris off of your hardscapes and back onto your lawn where it belongs.

3. Look for a lawn mowing company that will follow best practices when mowing your lawn.

When mowing your lawn, the company you hire should follow best practices to ensure they don't cause any damage to your turf. These best practices include:

• Switching Up Mowing Patterns: The company you hire should switch up their mowing patterns each time they visit your property to prevent ruts from forming in your lawn. Doing this will also prevent your grass from leaning in one direction.
• Adjusting the Deck Height: Hire a company that will adjust the deck height on their mowers to ensure they are cutting your grass to the right height. If they cut your grass too short, it could cause damage to your lawn.
• Following the 1/3 Rule: Another important practice that the company you hire should follow is the 1/3 rule when mowing. This rule means they shouldn't cut off more than 1/3 of your grass's height at a time. If they cut off too much, it could cause stress to your lawn and make it more susceptible to health issues.
