What Does a Full Lawn Maintenance Visit Include?

Quick Answer: A full lawn maintenance visit from TurnKey Lawn Care includes mowing the entire lawn at the proper height, edging along driveways, sidewalks, and curbs, trimming around trees, fences, beds, and obstacles, and blowing clippings off all hard surfaces. Every visit leaves your property clean and tidy. In New Orleans, we adjust mowing height to your grass type and the season, and we work around our heat, humidity, and storm debris to keep your lawn healthy.

Detailed Explanation

A complete lawn visit is more than running a mower across the grass. A truly finished lawn involves several steps that together give that clean, cared-for look. Here is what a full visit covers.

Mowing. We mow the entire lawn at the correct height for your grass type. St. Augustine gets a taller cut, while Bermuda is mowed shorter. We follow the one-third rule, never removing more than a third of the blade, to keep the grass healthy and avoid shock.

Edging. We create clean, defined edges along driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and walkways. Crisp edging is what separates a mowed lawn from a truly finished one. It frames the yard and gives it that polished appearance.

Trimming. We trim around the places a mower cannot reach: tree trunks, fence lines, flower beds, mailboxes, and other obstacles. This detail work ensures no shaggy spots are left behind.

Blowing and cleanup. We blow grass clippings off driveways, sidewalks, patios, and the street, leaving your hard surfaces clean. We never leave a mess behind.

Together, these steps turn a simple mow into a complete, professional result every visit.

Important Considerations

A few local details shape what a visit involves in our area.

Mowing height changes with the grass and season. Our warm-season grasses each have an ideal height, and we cut taller during the heat of summer to protect the soil and roots. Going into fall dormancy, we adjust again. A one-height-fits-all approach does not serve our climate.

Clippings: mulch or bag. In most cases we mulch clippings back into the lawn, which returns moisture and nutrients to the soil. When grass is overgrown or wet, bagging may be the better call. We handle whichever suits the situation.

Storm debris. After our frequent storms, branches, palm fronds, and limbs may need clearing before mowing. Heavy debris hauling can be added to a visit when needed.

Wet conditions. With our high water table and heavy rain, lawns are often damp. We avoid mowing waterlogged grass to protect the turf, sometimes adjusting timing to a dry window.

Customized to your plan. Some clients want extras like bed maintenance or seasonal cleanups. We tailor the visit to your needs and your maintenance plan rather than forcing a fixed package.

Consistency between visits. When we serve you on a regular schedule, each visit builds on the last, keeping the lawn at its ideal height and looking its best year-round.
