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 regular mowing schedules tailored to your lawn's spring growth. Our crews adjust cutting heights as temperatures rise, ensuring your grass develops strong roots for the challenging summer months ahead.

Summer

June-August

During Reston's hot, humid summers, we raise mowing heights to protect grass roots from heat stress. Since every summer and yard is different, we will work with you to find the perfect schedule.

Fall

September-November

We gradually lower mowing heights and perform detailed edging cleanups to prepare your lawn for winter dormancy and create ideal conditions for overseeding. Fall's cooler temperatures mean rapid grass growth, so our crews stay on top of your lawn's changing needs while managing leaf removal to prevent matting.

Winter

December-February

While regular mowing pauses during dormancy, we remain on standby for touch-ups during Virginia's unpredictable warm spells. This seasonal flexibility keeps your Reston property looking tidy year-round, maintaining crisp edges and a well-groomed appearance even when grass isn't actively growing.

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.

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 Reston lawns need weekly mowing from April through November, though this can vary based on your grass type and weather conditions. Cool-season grasses like tall fescue grow most actively during spring and fall, requiring more frequent cuts, while summer heat naturally slows growth. Your Account Manager monitors growth patterns and adjusts your schedule as needed, ensuring your lawn always looks its best without unnecessary visits.

Every lawn mowing service includes four essential components that work together for a complete professional finish. We start with precision mowing at the optimal height for your grass type and current conditions, followed by crisp edging along all driveways, sidewalks, and landscape borders. Our crews then detail-trim around trees, fence posts, mailboxes, and other obstacles your mower can't reach. Finally, we blow all grass clippings from hard surfaces, leaving your property spotless. With years of experience serving Reston homeowners, we've refined this process to deliver consistent, thorough results that go beyond basic grass cutting.

Yes, we provide flexible mowing services to meet various needs beyond our regular weekly schedules. Whether you need a one-time cut before hosting an event, a spring first-cut cleanup to tackle overgrown grass, or vacation coverage while you're away, we're here to help. These services include the same attention to detail as our regular maintenance - complete mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanup. Many Reston homeowners use our vacation fill service to maintain their property's appearance during extended trips, ensuring they return to a well-kept lawn. Just give us a few days' notice, and we'll work you into our schedule.

Bundling services creates the healthiest, most attractive lawn possible while simplifying your lawn care routine. Our comprehensive programs coordinate mowing schedules with fertilization and weed control applications, ensuring proper timing for maximum effectiveness. Fall aeration and overseeding work seamlessly with adjusted mowing heights to promote seed germination and establishment. Many clients near you in Reston, VA find that bundling not only saves time but delivers superior results - a thick, weed-free lawn that's the envy of the neighborhood. Your Account Manager can design a custom package that addresses all your lawn's needs throughout the growing season.

Creating sharp, professional edges is one of our specialties and a detail that truly sets quality lawn care apart. 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 look. We maintain these edges during every visit, not just occasionally, which means consistent results week after week. This regular edging eliminates the need for major edge restoration later and keeps your property looking pristine. It's these finishing touches that make properties near you in Reston, VA stand out and show the difference professional care makes.
