A standard service typically includes mowing, trimming around trees and fenceposts, and blowing grass off of hard surfaces back onto the lawn. Grass clippings are usually mulched into the turf.

Upgrades to this standard service frequently include the bagging of grass clippings and edging, which creates a sharp, neat edge between your driveway, sidewalk, or curb and your lawn.

Many homeowners perform this chore themselves, but it is also one of the most common services to be contracted out to yard service companies. The lawn mowing season typically lasts from April when grass is beginning to grow through October when the grass starts to go dormant for the winter.
