Mowing
Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape offers both residential and
commercial mowing. Our mowing service includes line trimming,
edging and blowing. We trim or edge along foundation of your
home or office, fence lines, trees, flower beds, sidewalks
and curbs. Our powerful blowers add the finishing touch by
removing debris from the hard surfaces around your home.
Mowing Frequency
Frequent mowing helps a lawn resist weeds, insects and disease.
Infrequent mowing causes too much grass to be removed at one
time. Infrequently mowed grass also produces a lawn that looks
thin, spotty or burned. As a general rule, we never cut more
than one-third of the length of your grass at a time.
Kingstowne Lawn & Landscape offers
2 residential mowing plans:
- Plan 1: Weekly mowing from March 1st until November
30th.
(Start and stop dates may vary
according to weather conditions.)
- Plan 4: Mowing every two weeks from March 1st until
November 30th.
(Start and stop dates may vary
according to weather conditions.)
Mowing Height
Most cool season grass types such as fescue and bluegrass
have a recommended cutting height between 2 and 3 inches.
We generally cut grass at 3 inches because a lawn cut at this
height will have a deeper root system and be more resistant
to weeds and disease than shorter cut grass.
Mulching v. Bagging
Mulching your clippings is an excellent way to return valuable
nutrients to your lawn. Finely cut clippings contain approximately
80% water, 5% nitrogen, 1% phosphorous and 2% potassium. The
nitrogen component of grass clippings can provide about one-third
of the yearly nitrogen requirement of a lawn. On the other
hand, bagging clippings eliminates these valuable nutrients
from your lawn.
We sharpen the blades on our machines daily so that our clients'
lawns receive the absolute cleanest cut possible. Dull mower
blades will not only make your grass appear jagged and uneven
they will also make your lawn more susceptible to disease.
By sharpening our mower blades daily we help prevent such
things from happening.
Clients with smaller properties will be pleased to know that
all of our mowing crews are equipped with various sizes and
types of state of the art machinery so that they can cater
to the specific needs of each individual site.
