FAQ

Lawn care questions, answered straight.

This lawn care FAQ gathers what Ottawa homeowners ask us before they book: what it costs, when we come, what happens when it rains, and where we work. Still stuck? Call or send a message.

01

Prices

Weekly mowing is $39 a cut for a small lot, $49 for a standard detached home and $65 for a large lot, plus HST. Every cut includes trimming and blowing off the hard surfaces.

Count the grass, front and back. Small is a townhouse or semi, under about 2,000 sq ft of lawn. Medium is a standard detached home, about 2,000 to 4,000 sq ft. Large is up to about 6,000 sq ft. We confirm on the first visit.

Two weeks of growth is longer and slower to cut and clean up. Over a season, bi-weekly is still about half the cost of weekly.

No. Mowing is billed per cut, and you can stop with a week’s notice. There is no deposit to hold a spot.

02

Scheduling and weather

Weekly cuts run from early May to the end of October, depending on the weather. Spring clean-ups start in mid-April and fall clean-ups run into November.

Wet grass tears and ruts, so we move you to the next dry day, usually within 24 hours. You are never charged for a cut that did not happen.

No. Leave the gate unlocked on your day and keep pets inside. We text you when the cut is done.

Yes. Tell us before your day and we skip it, at no charge.

03

Services

Leaves and debris off the lawn and out of the beds, dead growth cut back, hard surfaces blown clean and everything hauled away. It is $199 for a small lot, plus HST.

Late August to the end of September, when the soil is warm and weeds grow less. That is also the best time to overseed a thin lawn.

Only products allowed on residential lawns in Ontario, such as iron-based broadleaf control. Ontario limits cosmetic pesticides, so a thick, well-fed lawn does most of the weed control.

By the length, height and condition of the hedge, from $99. Send a photo or a rough length and we confirm the price before we come.
