*** Chemicals ***
Please do NOT apply chemicals/poisons etc. to the lawn prior to mowing. It is a hazard to my health and the community. Contrary to TV commercials April and May is NOT the time to be dumping chemicals on lawns unless you are raising grass clippings to sell in markets like a farmer raising and selling lettuce. Lawns grow fast enough in April and May with all the rain etc.. Most fertilized lawns are like having a junkie, heroin addict in the yard. Kick the habit. Fall and winter proper applications are more appropriate. Some small amounts of fertilizer can be beneficial in the summer months when hot and watered and advance warning is given to me regarding poisons on a lawn. Contact the WSU King County Extension for excellent professional advice on application of poisons. TIP: Weeds are controlled with regular mowing and proper over all care. Mow often and fewer weeds occur. Plus, mulch type mowing improves the health of the lawn acting like a natural fertilizer for turf.

Lawn Mowing Estimate Form
The "average" cost ranges between $30.00 and $40.00 each mowing. Sometimes the cost might be even less for smaller lawns and sometimes even more for larger lawns. If the lawn has not been mowed for awhile it might cost more the first time. Often times I can guestimate the cost online via the Google Maps views.

An email will be sent immediately upon completing this form. Respond to it and I will look up the lawn on Google Maps Views and then contact you and if needed drive to look at the lawn.

If the lawn has not been mowed the season, the cost for the first mowing could be more.

NOTE: I communicate and bill via email and not phone or snail mail. If you do not use email effectively in a timely fashion, read and respond, this service might not be for you.
Hope this helps.
Thank you very much,
Tom

Mulch type of mowing is when the lawn is mowed often enough and the clippings are chopped up to leave on the lawn. Mulching works a lot like a juicer leaving little or no trace of grass clippings. The clippings return nutrients to the lawn. They also provide some shade like a shade cloth. Seattle area lawns do best in partial shade. NOTE: Trees on the south side of the yard provide shade keeping the lawn more green with less water and less stress on lawns.


Mulch mowing a REALLY deep mess. Shows how even the worst lawn cleanup can often times be mulched, especially when dry.
