A single-storey house at night after light snowfall, warm white lights along the roof and eaves, a spruce and a birch lit in blue and violet uplight, a car and a van in the driveway, and a quiet snowy cul-de-sac in front.

Lit house after snowfall

Prices

How do you work out a price?

From the address. We measure the grass on the lot, or the roofline for holiday lights, and apply our published rate with its minimum. How we quote has the rates and every condition that can move them.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No, not for mowing: one day's notice stops it. The Lawn Season Plan and the snow contract are the two things that run for a season, and each says how to leave it.

The lawn

When is the first mow?

In mid-April, when the lawn has woken up and needs it. We text you the day before the first visit.

Do you bag the clippings?

No. We mulch them back into the lawn, where they feed it.

What happens on a rain day?

The visit moves to the next dry day, and you get a text saying which.

Lights and snow

When do the holiday lights go up and come down?

Up from the start of November into early December, on the day you book; down in the first half of January, without you having to ask.

What happens on a snow day?

Once a storm has left two inches, the crews start on the contract drives, then everyone else on the route that day. You get a text when your drive is done.

Will you come when I am away?

Yes. Nobody needs to be home for any of our work, summer or winter, as long as we can reach the lawn or the drive.

A tan brick ranch house with a white two-car garage, a concrete walk and a rock-and-shrub bed, fronted by a green lawn with mowing stripes under a deep blue sky with cumulus clouds.
A red-sided house at night with warm-white string lights along the gable and roofline and a lit tree in the window, seen through snow-laden spruce branches in the foreground.
A weathered split-rail fence beside a trodden snowy trail, frost-covered prairie grasses in the foreground and snow-covered rolling hills under a clear blue sky.
