About lawn mowing services
Cutting height matters more than frequency — scalping a lawn in dry weather is what lets moss and weeds in. Clippings removal is a cost that should be in the quote, since a contractor taking them away needs a waste carrier registration. Many households now leave May alone entirely for the pollinators.
