Lawn Mowing and Edging for West Georgia Yards
Regular weekday mowing, edging, string trimming and blowing, cut at the right height for Bermuda, zoysia, centipede and St. Augustine.
A freshly mowed yard with clean edges makes the whole house look cared for. Keeping it that way through a long Georgia summer is a lot of weekends, though. Our lawn mowing service takes that off your plate so you can enjoy the yard instead of working in it.
What's included in a mow
- Mowing at the right height for your type of grass
- String trimming around trees, fences, beds and the house
- Edging along driveways, sidewalks and curbs
- Blowing clippings off driveways, walks, porches and patios
- A quick look for problems like bare spots, standing water or weeds taking over
Mowing height matters
Most yards in west Georgia are planted with warm-season grasses: Bermuda, zoysia, centipede or St. Augustine. Each one likes a different height. Cutting too short, which is called scalping, stresses the grass, lets weeds in and dries out the soil faster in summer heat.
A general rule is to never cut more than a third of the blade at once. Our guide on mowing height for warm-season grass has the details for each type.
Mowing schedule through the year
- Spring: Grass greens up and growth picks up. Mowing starts and gets more frequent.
- Summer: Peak growth. Most lawns need a weekly cut.
- Fall: Growth slows down, and leaves start to pile up. See our yard cleanup page for leaf work.
- Winter: Warm-season grass goes dormant and turns tan. Mowing mostly stops.
Our lawn care calendar for west Georgia lays out what to do each season.
Things that help your lawn
- Sharp blades. Dull blades tear grass and leave brown, ragged tips. We keep ours sharp.
- Mow dry. Wet grass clumps and red clay ruts easily. We avoid mowing right after a heavy rain.
- Change the pattern. Mowing the same direction every time can leave ruts and make grass lean.
- Leave the clippings. Short clippings break down fast and feed the lawn.
Regular service or one-time cut
We can set up a regular weekday schedule for the season or do a one-time mow, for example if you're out of town, getting ready for a party, or the yard got away from you. Very overgrown yards may need a cleanup first before regular mowing can start.
Add-ons
You can pair mowing with hedge and shrub trimming a few times a year, plus seasonal leaf cleanup, so the whole yard stays in shape.

Common questions
How often should my lawn be mowed?
During the peak growing season in summer, most warm-season lawns need mowing about once a week. Growth slows in spring and fall, and the grass goes dormant in winter.
Do you mow on weekends?
No. We mow Monday through Friday. We'll set a regular weekday for your yard.
Do you bag the clippings?
Usually we mulch them back into the lawn, which returns nutrients to the soil. We'll bag or blow them off if the grass got too tall or you prefer it.
What happens if it rains on my mowing day?
Mowing wet grass leaves ruts and an uneven cut, especially on clay. If storms hit, we'll move your mow to the next workable weekday.
