Questions homeowners ask before the first mow

Which areas does Cutting Edge Lawn Care serve?

Crews work throughout Washington, UT and nearby communities such as St. George, Hurricane, and Ivins, with routes reaching further across Washington County as the schedule allows. If you are unsure whether your address falls inside the route map, call (435) 523-1555 and we will confirm on the spot. Homes near the red-rock edges of town are as welcome as any other.

How do I arrange a first visit for my yard?

A phone call to (435) 523-1555 during weekday hours is the simplest start. We ask a few questions about your lawn, beds, and shrubs, then set a time to walk the property and see what it needs. After that first look, we agree on a service plan and a regular day so you always know when the crew is coming.

How soon can a lawn care visit be scheduled?

Timing depends on the season and how full the route book is, but weekday windows between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM are held for new customers. A call early in the week usually secures a visit within days. Spring cleanup season fills fastest, so reach out ahead of the rush when you can.

What should I do before the crew arrives on mowing day?

Nothing elaborate is required. Pick up hoses, toys, and pet dishes from the turf so nothing is underfoot, and keep gates unlocked if the crew needs to reach a back yard. Dogs with strong opinions about mowers are happiest indoors that morning. We handle the rest, including blowing clippings off walks and drives before we pull away.

Do I need to be home during the service visit?

Most of our Washington customers are not home when the crew arrives, and that works well. As long as we have access to the yard and any gates are open, the work proceeds the same as if you were watching from the porch. We leave the property tidy and send word of anything we noticed, from a dry sprinkler zone to a thin patch of turf.

What happens on the first visit to a new lawn?

The crew starts with a walk of the property, checking grass height, bed edges, and sprinkler head coverage before any equipment runs. Mowing follows at the right height for the season, edging gets a clean line along drives and walks, and hard surfaces are blown clear. If we spot weeds or thin turf, we note it and suggest a fix rather than guessing.

How often should my lawn be mowed during the growing season?

Washington's long warm season keeps grass growing for much of the year, and most yards look their best on a weekly schedule, though some mature, slower-growing lawns do fine every other week. Cutting no more than a third of the blade at a time keeps turf dense and green. We recommend a rhythm after seeing how your lawn responds through the spring flush.

How much mulch do my flower beds need?

The amount depends on the size and layout of your beds and what is already in place. A 2-3 inch mulch depth is the usual target, enough to hold moisture against the desert heat and shade out weeds without smothering plant crowns. Call (435) 523-1555 with your rough bed dimensions and we can give you the exact figure for your yard.

When is the best time to aerate and overseed a lawn in Washington County?

Early fall suits core aeration and overseeding best here, when the soil is still warm but the worst heat has passed. The plugs pulled from the ground open channels for air, water, and seed to reach the root zone. Spring offers a workable second window for thinner lawns, and we match the timing to how your turf came through the summer.

What does shrub and hedge trimming include?

Trimming means shaping each shrub to suit its place in the yard, not shearing everything into the same box. We cut back overgrowth, clear suckers at the base, and rake the clippings away so beds are left neat. Roses get their own careful pruning in late winter so spring bloom arrives strong, the kind of growth that draws compliments from the neighbors.

Can you keep weeds out of my beds between visits?

Persistent attention rather than a single pass is what keeps beds clean. We pull weeds roots and all, chase runners into the easement and along fence lines, and use a pre-emergent herbicide where appropriate to stop the next flush before it starts. A fresh layer of mulch at the proper depth does quiet work too, since bare soil stays bare only with regular care.

What do you check during a sprinkler maintenance visit?

We run each of your irrigation zones in turn, watching sprinkler head coverage for dry gaps and misting heads, adjusting nozzles where the pattern has drifted, and checking that water reaches beds and turf without soaking the sidewalk. Small repairs happen on the spot when possible. If something larger turns up, we explain it plainly before any work is agreed to.
