Short answer
How often should you mow in Peoria?
Weekly from late April through June, when cool-season grass grows fastest. In the July and August heat, growth slows and every 10 to 14 days is often enough. Growth picks back up in September, then mowing tapers off by early November.
How short should I cut my grass? Most Peoria lawns are tall fescue, Kentucky bluegrass or a mix. Keep them around 3 to 4 inches, and never take off more than a third of the blade at once. Taller grass shades out weeds and holds moisture in the summer.
How we mow
What makes a mow good, not just short
Height by season
We raise the deck in summer heat and drop it a little for the last cut of fall. Scalping a lawn in July is the fastest way to brown it out.
Sharp blades
Dull blades tear grass and leave brown, ragged tips. Sharp blades cut clean and the lawn stays greener.
Wet clay care
After heavy spring rain, Peoria clay turns soft. We skip or adjust a mow instead of rutting your yard with a heavy mower.

Good to know
Grass height and Peoria’s city code
City code treats grass and weeds over 10 inches as a nuisance, and the city sends a notice before fines. That catches a lot of rental properties and homes where the owner is away in June. A weekly plan keeps you well under it. More in Peoria landscaping rules.
FAQ
Mowing questions
Do you bag clippings?
Usually not. Short clippings left on the lawn break down fast and return nutrients. We bag when grass is very long or if you ask.
Can you mow a lawn that’s way overgrown?
Yes. We may cut it down in two passes so we don’t shock the grass, and the first visit is priced separately.
Do you mow every week or every other week?
Either. Weekly is best in spring. Every other week works for slower-growing lawns and in summer.
Do I need to sign a contract?
[Answer per partner.]
What areas do you mow?
