Reliable weekly mowing throughout Howard County. Every week, on schedule—mowing, trimming, edging, and blowing included.
Call for FREE EstimateWeekly mowing is the gold standard for maintaining beautiful lawns throughout Maryland's growing season. From late April through October, Howard County grass grows actively requiring regular cutting.
Weekly service ensures grass never gets overgrown, maintains consistent appearance, prevents stress from cutting too much at once, and eliminates the weekly burden of mowing from your schedule.
At Greenlawn Inc, weekly mowing has been our core service since 1986. Hundreds of Ellicott City and Columbia families have trusted us for weekly mowing season after season—some for decades.
Weekly mowing provides multiple benefits over less frequent service or DIY approaches:
Removing only 1/3 of grass height per mowing (the recommended amount) requires weekly cutting during peak growth. Less frequent mowing stresses grass and reduces health.
Your lawn looks freshly cut all season rather than cycling between freshly cut and overgrown. Your property always looks maintained, not neglected.
Cutting weekly means less grass volume to handle, easier conditions, and better results than battling tall, heavy grass from delayed mowing.
Small clippings from weekly mowing decompose quickly, returning nutrients without creating thatch. Heavy clippings from infrequent mowing smother grass.
Frequent mowing prevents weeds from flowering and seeding, gradually reducing weed populations over time through consistent cutting.
Your weekends are free for enjoyment rather than yard work. The lawn is always done without your effort or time investment.
Complete service every visit, not just cutting grass:
Commercial-grade mowers deliver superior cut quality. Height set appropriately for season (typically 3-3.5 inches). Sharp blades for clean cuts. Patterns varied weekly to prevent rutting.
All areas mowers can't reach—around trees, fences, posts, garden beds, structures. Proper trimming creates finished appearance rather than leaving unsightly strips.
Power edging along all walkways, driveways, and paved surfaces creating clean, defined borders. Sharp lines that dramatically improve overall appearance.
All clippings and debris blown from driveways, walkways, patios back onto lawn. Properties left clean and ready to enjoy immediately after service.
Season Start (Late April-Early May): We begin when grass enters active spring growth. Exact start depends on weather—we monitor grass growth and contact you when conditions are right.
Peak Season (May-September): Grass grows most vigorously. Weekly service is essential—grass truly needs cutting every week during these months.
Fall Continuation (October): Mowing continues through October as cool fall weather promotes renewed growth. Important for leaf control as well.
Season End (Late Oct-Early Nov): Weekly mowing concludes when grass enters dormancy. Final mowing sets grass at proper height for winter.
Typical Season: 24-28 weekly mowings per season, averaging about 6 months of weekly service.
Typical Season Cost: Most Ellicott City residential customers pay $1,200-1,800 per season (24-28 mowings) for complete weekly service.
Price is set per mowing with no seasonal contracts required—you can start or stop service at any time. We provide free estimates measuring your property and assessing specific characteristics.
Factors affecting price: Property access, terrain (slopes and hills), obstacles (trees, beds, landscaping), and lawn conditions.
Mowing, trimming, edging, and cleanup takes 1-2 hours weekly. Over a 26-week season, that's 26-52 hours of your time—equivalent to more than a full work week.
Commercial equipment delivers better cut quality and efficiency. Our crews develop expertise through mowing dozens of lawns weekly rather than once per week.
Quality equipment costs $1,000-2,000 initial investment plus ongoing maintenance, fuel, and eventual replacement. Often exceeds cost of professional service over equipment lifespan.
Lawn mowing is hot, sweaty work during Maryland summers. Professional service eliminates physical burden and risk of heat exhaustion or injuries.
Professional service continues on schedule regardless of your availability. Lawn is always maintained even during vacations, busy weekends, or weather delays.
