What happens on every visit
A lawn visit from MDK covers the work that makes a yard look finished, not just cut.
Mowing at a height suited to the grass and the time of year, so the lawn is not scalped in summer heat.
String trimming around trees, fences, posts, and the house, anywhere the mower cannot reach.
Edging along walks, driveways, and curbs, so the lawn has a clean line against the hard surfaces.
Blowing off clippings from walks, patios, and the driveway before the crew leaves.
Cutting height matters more than most homeowners expect. Grass cut too short dries out faster, lets weeds in, and browns during a dry stretch. Taller grass shades its own roots and crowds weeds out. The height goes up during the hottest weeks and comes back down in the fall.
Pruning, mulching, and bed work are part of full-service lawn care too, and the gardening and planting page (links to /gardening-planting) covers them in detail.
Weekly, full service only
Most lawns in Rockland need cutting every week during the peak growing months in late spring and early summer. Growth slows in the heat of midsummer and picks up again in the fall. A weekly schedule keeps the grass from getting long between cuts, which is better for the lawn and looks better from the street.
MDK does not do mow-only accounts or every-other-week cuts. A lawn customer gets the whole property looked after: weekly mowing, trimming, edging, and blowing off, plus pruning, mulching, topsoil and seed, aeration, and spring and fall cleanups. Cutting a lawn every other week and ignoring the beds leaves a yard that never quite looks finished, and that is not the service MDK offers.
Price depends on the size of the lot, how many obstacles there are to trim around, and how much edging the property has. Mark sets it after seeing the property.
Next season's route. It is late in the mowing season now, and the best time to get on next year's route is before it fills. Call now to get the property looked at and a price set for the spring start.
How the job runs, start to finish
1. Signing up.
Call MDK with the address. Mark comes out to see the property himself and prices it based on its size and layout. The estimate is free.
2. The first visit.
The first cut of the season, or the first cut on a lawn that has gotten long, can take more time and may need a second pass to bring the height down evenly.
3. Service day.
Lawn service runs on a route through the week.
4. Billing.
Mark handles billing himself.
One company from spring through winter
MDK handles a Rockland property through every season. Weekly mowing runs through the growing season, and full-service lawn care includes the spring and fall cleanups on either end of it. Once it snows, snow removal keeps the driveway and walks open. One phone number, a company that already knows the property, and no need to line up a new contractor every few months.

Lawn maintenance questions

No. MDK offers weekly, full-service lawn care only. That covers mowing, trimming, edging, and blowing off every week, plus pruning, mulching, topsoil and seed, aeration, and spring and fall cleanups.
-
Grass cut too short dries out faster, lets weeds in, and browns during a dry stretch. Taller grass shades its own roots and crowds weeds out, so the mowing height goes up in the hottest weeks and comes back down in the fall.

In Rockland, mowing usually starts in spring once the grass is actively growing and runs into late fall. Fall leaf work is covered under seasonal cleanups.
