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 sharp edging lines while beginning your regular mowing schedule. Our spring approach prepares your lawn for rapid growth ahead and creates the foundation for a healthy, green summer.

Summer

June-August

During Great Falls' 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 final edging cleanups while making room for overseeding opportunities. This seasonal transition helps your lawn prepare for winter dormancy while maintaining that clean, manicured appearance Great Falls homeowners expect.

Winter

December-February

While regular mowing pauses, we remain on standby for touch-ups during warmer days to maintain a tidy appearance. Your lawn stays neat and ready for spring's return, never looking neglected even during dormancy.

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.

This is my second year using this company and I couldn’t be happier. They are on time, professional, and their attention to detail is second to none. My beds, bush trimming, and edging are perfect every time. I would highly recommend them and look forward to their return next spring.

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 Great Falls lawns need weekly mowing from April through November, though this can vary based on your specific grass type and property conditions. Cool-season grasses common in Northern Virginia grow most actively during spring and fall, while summer heat naturally slows growth. We'll work with you to find the perfect schedule that keeps your lawn looking great without over-mowing. Your Account Manager monitors growth patterns and weather conditions to recommend adjustments when needed, ensuring your lawn always looks its best.

Yes, we provide all these services to meet your specific needs near you in Great Falls, VA. Whether you need a one-time cut before hosting an event, a thorough first-cut cleanup to tackle overgrown grass in spring, or vacation coverage while you're away, we've got you covered. These services include the same attention to detail as our regular maintenance - complete mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanup. Many clients start with a one-time service and then switch to regular maintenance after seeing the quality difference professional care makes.

Every mowing service includes comprehensive edging along all concrete surfaces - driveways, sidewalks, patios, and walkways. We also edge around landscape beds, trees, and any fixed structures on your property. Our commercial-grade edgers create clean, precise lines that give your lawn that professionally maintained look. This regular edging prevents grass from creeping onto hard surfaces and maintains clear boundaries between your lawn and landscaping. With our years of experience, we know exactly how to achieve those crisp edges that make Great Falls properties look their absolute best.

Great Falls lawns typically experience some dormancy, but with proper care, you can minimize brown periods and maintain better color year-round. Cool-season grasses like tall fescue stay green through winter but may struggle in summer heat, while warm-season varieties do the opposite. We recommend tall fescue blends for most Great Falls properties because they handle our climate well with proper watering and care. Our maintenance program, including appropriate mowing heights and regular fertilization, helps your lawn stay as green as possible through seasonal transitions. Many clients near you in Great Falls, VA achieve nearly year-round color with the right grass selection and maintenance routine.

Timing pre-emergent applications is crucial for preventing weeds before they start. In Great Falls, we recommend early March for preventing crabgrass and other summer weeds, with a second application in late April or early May. For winter weeds, apply pre-emergent in early September. These timing windows align with soil temperatures that trigger weed seed germination. Our integrated approach combines pre-emergent applications with proper mowing heights and regular edging to create the healthiest lawn possible. Your Account Manager can coordinate these treatments with your mowing schedule for optimal results.
