Why It’s Different Here

Why Mowing Height & Timing Matter in Lafayette

St. Augustine grass — the lawn under most Lafayette homes — has a narrower margin for error than the fescue and Bermuda blends a lot of national mowing crews are trained on. Cut it too short during a July dry spell and it can brown out for weeks. Mow a clay-soil yard while it’s still saturated from a storm and you risk rutting and compacting the ground instead of just cutting the grass.

That’s why we don’t run a fixed 7-day route regardless of conditions. We plan mowing height and timing around what St. Augustine actually needs and what the ground can handle — not a generic schedule.

How short should St. Augustine grass be cut in Lafayette?

Most St. Augustine lawns do best kept around 3 to 4 inches. Cutting it shorter stresses the grass in our summer heat and opens the door to weeds and brown patch fungus, especially during humid stretches.

Common Questions

Mowing & Edging FAQ

How often should my lawn be mowed?

During peak growing season — roughly April through October — weekly is typical for St. Augustine. In cooler months, bi-weekly usually keeps pace.

What happens if it’s rained recently?

We reschedule for the next available dry day rather than mow a soaked, clay-soil yard, which risks compacting the soil and tearing up the grass.

Do you bag or mulch the clippings?

In most cases we mulch clippings back into the lawn to return nutrients to the soil. If growth is heavy enough that clippings would mat and smother the grass, we bag instead.

Is edging included every visit, or extra?

Edging along walkways, driveways, and beds is included in every standard mowing visit — it’s not an upcharge.
