Mowing Service Schedule

Northern Virginia's four distinct seasons each bring unique challenges and opportunities for your landscape.

Spring

March-May

We start the season with thorough debris cleanup and establish crisp edging lines while beginning regular mowing schedules tailored to your lawn's spring growth. This preparation sets the foundation for healthy grass throughout the growing season and ensures your property looks pristine as everything comes back to life.

Summer

June-August

During Gainesville's hot months, we raise mowing heights to protect grass roots. Since every summer and yard is different, we will work with you to find the perfect schedule.

Fall

September-November

We gradually lower cutting heights and perform thorough edging cleanups to prepare your lawn for cooler months ahead. This timing creates ideal conditions for overseeding while our crews focus on keeping fallen leaves from smothering your grass.

Winter

December-February

While regular mowing pauses during dormancy, we remain on standby for touch-ups during warmer spells to maintain a clean appearance. Our crews stay ready to address any lawn needs that arise, ensuring your property looks well-maintained even in the off-season.

Excellent experience with Chris Oliver and the Indepence Crew. They did all the work promise, well and a little more, noticing things that would look better doing that we hadn’t discussed. Chris oversaw the project and he worked with the crew to make sure the work done was appropriate for the time of year. Especially appreciated his follow up with me after the job to be sure I was satisfied.

My wife and I were so surprised when we came home to the terrific job the team did on our landscape, bed clean-up, and mulching! We can’t say enough about the quality of the job and how much better our yard looks already. We wanted to pass along our gratitude to the entire team and also greatly appreciate all of Sam’s help and level of communication along the way. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Independence has been performing monthly upkeep on my yard for several years. As a result, my corner lot is the envy of our neighborhood. I have also entrusted them with bigger projects such as burying drain pipes in my yard, landscaping a big area in my front yard, and also spring cleaning, maintenance, and mulching. I am always amazed by the excellent service they provide. From the management team with whom I interface for estimates to the skilled workers who complete the jobs, everything is top-notch.

My first experience with Independence Landscape occurred during last month’s snowstorm. They are responsible for snow removal in my neighborhood under a contract with VDOT. While observing from my window, I noticed one of their snow plows was struggling up a hill, while another truck attempted to tow it. Once they managed to free the stuck plow, it unfortunately veered into both my yard and my neighbor's, as well as knocking down my mailbox in the process.
Witnessing this, I went outside and met Chris, who was genuinely apologetic and assured me they would fix the situation. Once the snow melted, Allen came by to install a new mailbox and it looks great! Chris has also kept me informed, letting me know that once the weather improves, they will repair the damage to the grass in my yard and some of my neighbor’s caused by the plow.
It’s refreshing to work with a company that stands by its promises and takes accountability for unexpected incidents. I appreciate collaborating with a locally owned business that values strong ethics, and I look forward to contacting them for any future landscaping needs. The commitment of employees like Chris and Allen truly makes a difference. They exceeded my expectations in addressing the damage, and I’m very thankful for their efforts. Thank you, Chris and Allen—your company is fortunate to have such dedicated team members!

Independence has done so much for us - from routine mowing and trimming to a complete revamp of our front landscaping, including the design and installation of a gorgeous stone paver walkway and landscape lighting. Our yard is beautiful because they take such great care in everything they do. We would trust no one else. And Mark is so great to work with!

Independence Landscape is a top notch company! Our church wanted to landscape the front to create an inviting and welcoming walkway up to the sanctuary entrance. The landscape architects listened carefully to our vision which they then interpreted into a place of beauty and function, incorporating a large number of native plants in to the design as we requested. Every person who worked on our property was thoughtful, courteous and diligent. They often went above and beyond to make improvements. Specific requests we made were met with a smile. No shortcuts were taken. Our expectations were exceeded when the work was complete and the congregation responded with praises. We are so proud of our new entrance and are enjoying the results while also supporting the environment. We will be using Independence again for future landscape work.

We've been using Independence Landscape for our lawn treatments for two years now. We also had them do spring cleanup the first year as well. They assign a service quality manager to their accounts. Ours is Allen Safrit. We met Allen initially for the estimate and have found him to be knowledgeable, professional, responsive and proactive.

Independence is a bit higher in price compared to the company we had been using, but, like the saying goes... you get what you pay for. Their treatment plan works great. I had been doing the fertilizing, spraying, etc. for many years and our lawn looked great. But a few years back I thought I would save some time and as the cost was going to be similar we went with another company that initially worked out well. And then we came upon Independence. They were in our neighborhood and we thought we would give them a try. We are so glad we did. Their approach and treatment plan works great. So great that some of our neighbors have asked us who we use.

We can't say enough about Allen. He really makes the difference. It's nice to be able to speak with someone who knows us and our property. In fact, we are considering going with their tree and shrub program next season.

First rate experience and first rate manager. Thanks Independence and Allen for taking care of us so well.

I can’t say enough good things about the customer service and the results I get from Independence landscape. They offer a number of different lawn care regimens specific to the client needs. Over the years, I’ve tried two other lawn services and knowing that it takes years to build a good lawn, I’ve been patient and then disappointed by other companies. Here are some things that make me a customer for life: I get a telephone call from a friendly employee one or two days ahead of the next planned Treatment - Independence checks the weather and does treatments one or two days before rain is expected to improve the efficacy. When I get a reminder call, if I have any specific concerns, they make note of them and I promptly receive a call back from Brandon my Arlington neighborhood representative. Brandon takes time to understand my questions or requests and follows up with action within the week; this year, they worked with me to correct a problem I was having with wire grass/string grass in my front lawn. Its been persistent for 30 years and other companies had either told me it was crabgrass or there was nothing that could be done about it. Independence applied three treatments this spring that killed the string grass this summer and now allow me to have a beautiful lawn here this fall and I’m sure an even nicer one in the spring. Brandon has gone out of his way over the years and his crews are thorough reaching every corner of my yard. The grass seed that they use is first rate. i’m no expert, but apparently it is pre-treated with fertilizer and I observed it germinating in about half the time my neighbors store-bought seed took. I read that grass takes about 10 days to germinate. If I set my sprinkler timer to water four minutes every six hours, I get germination with their seed in about five days. Even the new grass is lush and beautiful. They also leave behind a small sign in the yard with instructions for aftercare for each treatment and explaining what was done that day. The plan I'm on has them doing something to my lawn about 10 times a year. There’s just no way that I could keep up with the consistency I get from using an outside company and their quality is for better than I could ever get my own or from the services I’ve tried in past years. They just don’t even come close. I look forward to many future years of service from Independence .

Frequently Asked Questions

Most Gainesville lawns need weekly mowing from April through November, with cool-season grasses growing most actively during spring and fall. Summer heat naturally slows growth, sometimes allowing for less frequent cuts. Your lawn's specific needs depend on grass type, shade coverage, and irrigation. We'll assess your property and recommend the ideal schedule. During peak growing seasons, weekly service prevents grass from getting too tall between cuts, which can stress the lawn and leave unsightly clippings. Your Account Manager monitors growth patterns throughout the year and adjusts your schedule as needed to maintain optimal lawn health.

Every mowing service includes precision cutting at the proper height for your grass type, edging along all hard surfaces like driveways and sidewalks, detailed trimming around trees, posts, fences, and landscaping features, plus complete blowing of grass clippings from all paved areas. We also trim around AC units, sheds, and other obstacles that mowers can't reach. Our crews carry commercial-grade equipment to handle every aspect efficiently. With years of experience serving Northern Virginia, we've refined our process to deliver thorough, consistent results. Nothing gets missed, and your property looks professionally maintained after every visit.

Yes, we provide one-time mowing services for special situations like vacation coverage, property listings, or spring cleanups near you in Gainesville, VA. These services include the same thorough approach as our regular maintenance - complete mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanup. First-cut cleanups tackle overgrown lawns that need extra attention, often requiring multiple passes and debris removal. We understand that sometimes you just need temporary help, whether you're between services or your regular provider isn't available. Our vacation fills keep your lawn looking great while you're away, maintaining your property's appearance without long-term commitments.

Absolutely! Bundling services creates the healthiest lawn possible while simplifying your maintenance schedule. Our lawn care programs coordinate perfectly with regular mowing - we time applications around your cutting schedule for maximum effectiveness. Fall aeration and overseeding work seamlessly with adjusted mowing heights. Spring fertilization jumpstarts growth while our pre-emergent applications prevent crabgrass. Many Gainesville homeowners find bundling saves time and delivers superior results since all services work together. Your Account Manager can design a custom package addressing every aspect of lawn health, from basic mowing to complete turf management programs.

Yes, creating sharp, professional edges is a key part of our grass cutting services throughout Gainesville. Our crews use commercial-grade edgers to cut precise lines along all concrete surfaces, preventing grass from creeping onto walkways and giving your property that manicured appearance. We maintain these edges weekly during regular visits, which is much easier than trying to reclaim overgrown edges later. This consistent attention to detail sets professional lawn care apart from basic mowing. Clean edges frame your lawn beautifully and show the care you put into your property - it's often the first thing neighbors notice near you in Gainesville, VA.
