- CutSet to the height your turf type calls for and never lower. For Floratam or Bitterblue St. Augustine that means 3½ to 4 inches.
- TrimString trimmer around fence lines, bed borders, tree trunks, lamp posts and every corner a mower deck can’t get into.
- EdgeA crisp line down the driveway, the walks and the curb, recut each time so the grass never creeps over.
- BlowClippings go back into the turf, never into the gutter. In a town ringed by lakes, the street drains lead to open water sooner or later.
Why the mower deck stays high
The fastest way to ruin a Lake County lawn is to scalp it. Short-cut St. Augustine roots shallow, dries out in sandy soil within days, and leaves bare room for weeds. These are the UF/IFAS heights our mowers are set to:
| Grass | Mowing height |
|---|---|
| St. Augustine (Floratam, Bitterblue) | 3½–4 in |
| Dwarf St. Augustine (Seville, Delmar, Captiva) | 2–2½ in |
| Bahia | 3–4 in |
| Zoysia | about 2 in |
| Centipede | 1–2 in |
Then there’s the one-third rule: no single cut should remove more than a third of the leaf blade. It is the reason summer visits come weekly. When we take over a lawn that has shot up, we lower it gradually across a few visits instead of in one pass.
Visits that match the growing season
Turf in Tavares puts on most of its growth between April and October, and the summer rainy season does the heavy lifting. Once cooler nights arrive in November, growth drops off. So we come weekly in the warm months and every second week from November through March. That is roughly 41 visits a year, and you aren’t billed for cutting grass that has stopped growing.
Your yard is assigned a weekday. If a storm cancels it, we come back on the next dry day.
Per-visit pricing
A typical Tavares lot costs $75 to $125 per visit, and that price always includes trimming, edging and blow-off. Bigger parcels and waterfront lots are measured and priced one by one. The Tavares pricing guide shows what a month and a year come to.
Lots that run down to the water
Plenty of Tavares yards end at a seawall or a natural shoreline on Lake Dora, Lake Eustis or Lake Harris. We keep the mower back from the edge, string-trim the last strip by hand, and blow clippings away from the water instead of toward it. The lakefront lawn care guide explains why that matters for the lakes.
