Yes, Garden Soon provides lawn mowing in Bradford Woods — $40–$65/cut for most Allegheny County properties. Heavily wooded with rolling terrain throughout. Terrain like that shapes which equipment we bring and how we route the job.
Every visit follows the same sequence, and we don't skip steps. We mow the open areas first, setting the height based on the season — typically 3.5 to 4 inches in summer, a little lower in cooler spring weather. After mowing, we go around every obstacle the mower can't reach: trees, fence posts, downspouts, landscaping borders. That's the string trimmer work, and it's what separates a mowed yard from a finished yard. Next comes edging — we run a blade or stick edger along sidewalks, driveways, and bed borders to cut that clean, defined line between turf and hardscape. The last step is blowing clippings off every hard surface: the driveway, the sidewalk, the front porch, any patio areas. We mulch clippings back into the lawn by default, which feeds the grass and cuts down on waste. If clippings clump because the grass was heavy or wet, we address it before we leave — we don't just drive off and leave a mess on your lawn.
For Bradford Woods specifically: heavily wooded with rolling terrain throughout. Many lots have significant areas of natural woodland that border maintained turf. Mowing patterns need to account for tree roots, grade changes near woodland edges, and limited equipment access on narrow wooded driveways.
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.
Most residential lots in our service area run $40 to $65 per cut. Small yards under 5,000 square feet typically start around $30 to $40. Larger properties from a half-acre to an acre range from $70 to $110. Lot size, terrain, and how many obstacles we're trimming around are the main factors.

Heavily wooded with rolling terrain throughout. Many lots have significant areas of natural woodland that border maintained turf. Mowing patterns need to account for tree roots, grade changes near woodland edges, and limited equipment access on narrow wooded driveways. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
Most residential properties in our service area cost between $40 and $65 per cut, depending on lot size and how much trimming and edging work is involved. Small lots under 5,000 square feet start around $30 to $40, and larger properties up to an acre can run $70 to $110. We quote based on the actual property after a quick look — lot size, terrain, and obstacles all factor in.
We offer weekly and biweekly service, and most customers start weekly in spring when cool-season grasses in western Pennsylvania grow fast. By midsummer, some properties can shift to biweekly as growth slows with the heat. We follow the grass rather than a rigid calendar and will flag if the schedule needs adjusting.
No — most of our customers aren't home during visits. As long as we have access to the yard and know about any gate codes or dogs, we don't need you there. We'll let you know when we've finished if you'd like a notification.
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 Bradford Woods 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.
