Garden Soon mows lawns in Big Beaver, Beaver County — $40–$65 per cut for most residential lots. Rolling to moderately hilly with a rural character. We use walk-behind equipment on anything genuinely steep and never cut more than one-third of the blade height at once.
It usually isn't one bad week — it's three or four in a row. You meant to mow on Saturday, but it rained. Then work ran long the following week. Then the kids had something going on. By the time you actually walk outside, the grass is shin-high and you're already dreading the next time. Some people call us right after a new baby, or after a surgery, or after a parent moves in and takes up the hours that used to go to yard work. Others are just done doing it themselves after twenty years and see no reason to keep at it. A few are embarrassed — they don't say it directly, but you can tell when someone mentions the neighbor's yard or asks how soon we can come. The trigger doesn't really matter. What matters is that the yard got away from them, and now it feels like a problem instead of just a chore. We hear that a lot. That's exactly the situation we exist to solve.
For Big Beaver specifically: rolling to moderately hilly with a rural character. Larger lot sizes mean more linear footage to mow. Some properties have areas that drain toward seasonal wet spots, and mowing timing needs to account for ground conditions after rain.
Every mowing visit includes four things: mowing the turf at the appropriate seasonal height, string trimming around all obstacles the mower can't reach, edging along sidewalks and driveways, and blowing all clippings off hard surfaces. Mulching clippings back into the lawn is standard. What's not included: leaf removal, bed weeding, fertilizing, or any treatment applications. Those are separate services. If you need them, we can talk about what makes sense to add.
Before the first cut of the season, we often find that winter left behind matted-down grass, debris from fall that didn't get fully cleared, and uneven growth from the first spring push. If the lawn is significantly overgrown from neglect or a late start, that first visit is priced as an overgrown cleanup rather than a standard mow — it takes more passes and more time. During a typical mid-season visit, everything moves quickly because the lawn is on a consistent schedule: the grass is at the right height, the edges are already defined from last week, and we're maintaining rather than recovering. The difference between a lawn that's been kept up all season and one that's been let go and played catch-up is visible all the way from the street. Consistent mowing at the right height crowds out weeds, keeps edges sharp, and gives the turf a chance to thicken. Irregular mowing — long stretches between cuts — stresses the grass and shows.
Pricing is based primarily on lot size and the time it takes us to do the job properly. Small yards under 5,000 square feet typically run $30 to $40 per visit. Standard residential lots in the quarter- to half-acre range are usually $40 to $65. Larger properties from a half-acre to a full acre fall in the $70 to $110 range. Biweekly customers generally pay $5 to $10 more per cut than weekly customers — the grass grows heavier between visits and takes more time to cut safely without violating the one-third rule. Properties with significant slopes may cost more because we're using a walk-behind instead of the zero-turn, which is slower. Lots with extensive landscaping beds, many trees, or tight obstacles add trimming time. If your lawn is overgrown at the start of the season or after a gap in service, that first visit is priced as an overgrown cleanup rather than a standard mow. We quote that separately before we start.

Rolling to moderately hilly with a rural character. Larger lot sizes mean more linear footage to mow. Some properties have areas that drain toward seasonal wet spots, and mowing timing needs to account for ground conditions after rain. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
We reschedule and notify you — we don't just skip a visit without communication. Mowing soaked ground leaves ruts and tire tracks, and cutting wet grass causes clumping that we'd have to deal with anyway. We shift the visit by a day or two when we can, and we work to keep the schedule consistent through the rest of the week.
We mulch by default, which returns roughly 30% of the nitrogen back to the soil and cuts down on hauling. Bagging is available if you prefer it, but it adds time and cost to the visit. For most healthy lawns on a regular schedule, mulching produces better results and we recommend it.
Yes — we use walk-behind mowers on slopes that aren't safe for a zero-turn. Zero-turn mowers can scalp on uneven grades and slide on wet hillsides, which is a real concern in areas like the Pittsburgh suburbs and river valley communities. Steep terrain does add time to the visit, so it may affect pricing.
Regular mowing keeps a lawn looking maintained, but cutting grass doesn't change what's happening at the soil level. We see this regularly — lawns that get mowed every week but are still thin, patchy, or overrun with weeds because the underlying soil pH is off, the turf hasn't been aerated in years, or the fertilizer timing isn't matching what cool-season grasses actually need. Mowing is maintenance. Lawn care — fertilization, pH correction, aeration, pre-emergent — is what actually changes the trajectory of the turf.
Beyond mowing, we offer these services in Big Beaver that most of our mowing customers eventually add:
Year-round turf health — fertilization, weed control, grub prevention, and winterizer timed to the western PA growing season.
One-time reclamation for neglected or jungle properties. We bring equipment rated for heavy material and haul everything out.
Spring and fall cleanup — leaf removal, debris, bed edging, ornamental cutbacks, and disposal.
Family- and pet-safe perimeter spray applied around the home exterior — foundation band, entry points, and window frames.
Vegetable garden design, site assessment, planting plans, and seasonal coaching.
