A perfectly mowed lawn is the foundation of a beautiful home. It’s the first thing neighbors see and the soft carpet your family plays on. But true lawn care is about more than just cutting grass—it’s about cultivating health. At More Green Landscaping, we elevate the chore of lawn mowing into a science, delivering consistent, reliable, and professional cuts that keep your property looking sharp all season long.
Serving Norwalk and the surrounding Fairfield County area since 2012, we understand that local lawns require specific care to thrive in our coastal climate.
The “More Green” Standard: Why Professional Mowing Matters
Anyone can push a mower, but not everyone can maintain a healthy lawn. Improper mowing is actually the #1 cause of turf stress. We take the hassle out of your weekend while delivering superior results.
- Problem: Scalping & Stress. Cutting grass too short (scalping) exposes the soil to sunlight, drying it out and inviting weeds to take over.
- Benefit: Optimal Mowing Height. We adjust our cutting height based on the season and your specific grass type (typically 3–3.5 inches for Norwalk’s cool-season mixes). This taller cut shades the soil, retains moisture, and promotes deeper root growth.
- Problem: Dull Blades. Mowing with dull blades tears the grass rather than slicing it, leaving jagged tips that turn brown and invite disease.
- Benefit: Clean, Surgical Cuts. Our equipment is professionally maintained with sharp blades to ensure a crisp, clean cut every time. This seals the grass blade quickly, keeping it green and resilient.
- Problem: Messy Edges. A lawn isn’t finished until the edges are crisp.
- Benefit: The Finishing Touch. Every visit includes line trimming (weed whacking) around trees and fences, plus edging along driveways and walkways for that manicured “magazine cover” look. We always finish by blowing clippings off all hard surfaces.
Timing & Seasonality: A Schedule That Works for Your Turf
In Connecticut, grass doesn’t grow at the same speed all year. We adapt our lawn maintenance schedule to match the natural growth cycles of your turf.
Spring (The Surge)
- Frequency: Weekly
- Focus: As the weather warms and rain increases, cool-season grasses like Kentucky Bluegrass and Fescue grow rapidly. Consistent weekly mowing is critical to prevent the grass from getting too long and violating the “One-Third Rule” (never cutting more than 1/3 of the blade at once).
Summer (The Stress Test)
- Frequency: Weekly or Bi-Weekly (Weather Dependent)
- Focus: Heat and drought can slow growth. We monitor conditions closely. If the lawn is dormant or stressed, we may raise the deck height to protect the crown of the grass plant from the burning sun.
Fall (The Recovery)
- Frequency: Weekly
- Focus: As temperatures drop, grass gets a second wind. We continue regular mowing to keep the lawn tidy. Toward the end of the season, we may gradually lower the cutting height to prevent matting under winter snow, which helps avoid snow mold fungus.
Grasscycling: Feeding Your Lawn While We Mow
Unless otherwise requested, we practice grasscycling—mulching fine clippings back into the lawn. These clippings are 80% water and decompose quickly, returning essential nitrogen and nutrients back to the soil. It’s a free, natural fertilizer that helps sustain your lawn between our formal fertilization treatments.
Our Full-Service Lawn Maintenance Includes:
- Professional Mowing: Using commercial-grade equipment for a perfect stripe.
- String Trimming: Reaching areas the mower can’t (around posts, trees, and beds).
- Hardscape Edging: Creating defined lines along concrete and asphalt.
- Debris Blowing: Clearing driveways, patios, and sidewalks of all clippings.
