Weekly Lawn Mowing in Stafford County, VA

Weekly mowing follows the 1/3 rule—never removing more than one-third of the grass blade. This reduces stress on the plant, promotes deeper roots, and results in a thicker, healthier lawn. Bi-weekly mowing often requires cutting more than half the blade, which weakens the grass and opens space for weeds. Read our full comparison.

When you sign up, we'll assign you a regular mowing day based on our Stafford County route. You'll know exactly which day to expect us each week—typically the same day throughout the season. This consistency helps you plan and ensures your lawn is always maintained on schedule.

We don't mow wet lawns—it damages grass and leaves clumps. If rain delays your service, we'll reschedule for the next dry day, typically within 24-48 hours. We monitor the weather closely and will notify you of any schedule changes. Your lawn won't be skipped; it'll just be done when conditions are right.

No—most of our Stafford clients aren't home during service. As long as we have gate access (if applicable) and the yard is accessible, we'll complete the work. We'll send you a notification when we're done. Just make sure pets are inside or in a secure area, and move any toys or obstacles before your scheduled day.

Yes—just let us know in advance. However, we recommend keeping service running during peak season (April-October) even when you're away. Skipping weeks during rapid growth can result in overgrown grass that's harder to manage when you return. If you skip, the next service may take longer and be priced as a one-time cut.

We maintain Tall Fescue at 3.5-4 inches—the optimal height for Virginia's climate. This height shades the soil (reducing weeds), retains moisture (important in Stafford's clay soil), and keeps roots deep and healthy. We may adjust slightly higher during summer heat stress to protect the grass.
