What the service includes
- Mowing at the right height for the time of year.
- Edging along sidewalks, curbs, paths and flower beds.
- Weeding around the house, fences and posts.
- Picking up the clippings and cleaning sidewalks and driveways when we're done.
If you also need shrubs or trees trimmed, we can do it on the same visit. See our tree trimming service.
How often should you mow?
In Puerto Rico grass grows all year, but not at the same pace. In the rainy months, roughly May to November, it grows much faster than in the dry season. It also depends on where you are: in the mountains, like Aibonito, it usually rains more than on the southern coastal plain, where Santa Isabel is.
As a general guide, many people mow every one or two weeks in the rainy season and every two to four weeks during dry spells. After seeing your yard, we'll suggest a schedule that keeps it looking good without overspending.
Tips for a healthier lawn
- Don't cut too much at once. A common rule in lawn care is to remove no more than a third of the blade length per mowing. Scalping the lawn weakens it and leaves room for weeds.
- Leave it a little taller during dry spells. Taller grass shades the soil and handles the heat better.
- Water early in the morning. Less water is lost to evaporation and the grass dries during the day.
- Keep blades sharp. A clean cut keeps the tips from turning brown.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be home during the service?
It depends on access to the yard. We'll coordinate with you before the visit so you know when we're coming and what we'll do.
Do you offer regular maintenance?
Yes. You can schedule visits every week, every two weeks or every month, depending on how fast your grass grows and your budget.
What do you do with the clippings?
We pick them up when we're done and leave sidewalks and driveways clean. If you'd rather leave them on the lawn as natural fertilizer, just let us know.
How much does mowing cost?
It depends on the size of the yard, how overgrown the grass is and how often we mow. Message us with your town and, if you can, photos of the yard, and we'll give you a price.
