Why Weekly Lawn Care?

Daniel Rivera

When it comes to maintaining a healthy and attractive lawn, many homeowners consider bi-weekly lawn care (every two weeks) as a way to save money. While it may seem like a cost-effective option, the reality is that bi-weekly mowing often creates more problems than it solves.

Lost Edging & Weedy Cracks

Our lawn care service includes edging along sidewalks, driveways, and other hard surfaces to keep your lawn looking clean and defined. With bi-weekly service, those sharp edges don’t last — grass and weeds quickly creep back over concrete, and cracks can even fill with full-grown weeds before the next visit.

Clumping & Rough Appearance

When grass goes two weeks without mowing, it grows too tall to cut cleanly. Instead of a smooth, even finish, the mower can leave behind clumps and uneven patches. These clumps not only look messy but can also smother healthy grass underneath.

Lawn Health Suffers

Cutting tall grass all at once stresses the turf, weakens the roots, and encourages weeds to spread. In the long run, this can thin out your lawn and make it harder to maintain a lush, green yard.

Looks Good at First… But Doesn’t Last

We hold the same high standards of quality for every property we service, so your lawn will always look great right after a visit. With bi-weekly schedules, the results don’t hold up. Even after just 2–3 days, you can start to notice leftover clumps or uneven spots that weren’t obvious at first. By the second week, growth can or has gotten out of hand, and the lawn quickly loses that freshly cut look.

FAQ:

Is bi-weekly lawn care bad for my grass?

Not necessarily “bad,” but it’s far from ideal. Bi-weekly mowing allows grass to grow too tall, which leads to clumping, uneven cuts, more weeds, and a lawn that looks unkept before the next visit. Weekly mowing keeps your lawn healthier and consistently looking its best.

When should I switch to bi-weekly service?

In most cases, bi-weekly lawn care only makes sense during the slower growth months — typically October through March, when cooler weather slows grass growth. During spring and summer, weekly mowing is strongly recommended to maintain a healthy, well-kept lawn.

Does weekly lawn care make the lawn look sharper?

Yes — with weekly service, the mowing lines stay well-defined, the grass stays even, and the edges stay crisp. This creates that “freshly cut” look every week, instead of only for a few days like with bi-weekly service.
