We mow lawns in Economy, Beaver County — $40–$65 per cut depending on lot size and terrain. Varied terrain — the township spans from Ohio River terrace to hillside and elevated plateau sections. Property like that requires the right equipment choices and we have them.
Mowing in western Pennsylvania isn't like mowing flat ground in the Midwest. A lot of properties in Allegheny, Beaver, and Lawrence counties have real grade — side yards that drop off sharply, back yards that terrace down toward a creek or alley, front lawns that pitch toward the street at an angle that makes a zero-turn mower a liability on wet days. We use walk-behind mowers on anything that's genuinely steep; a zero-turn on a wet slope isn't just inefficient, it's a safety problem and it tears the turf. The cool-season grasses common in our territory — tall fescue, bluegrass, rye — behave differently through the year. Spring in our area means fast growth, sometimes an inch or more per week in May, which is why we schedule weekly service for most customers starting in late March or April. By late July, the same lawn might barely need cutting every two weeks. We follow the grass, not the calendar, and adjust scheduling when the lawn tells us to.
For Economy specifically: varied terrain — the township spans from Ohio River terrace to hillside and elevated plateau sections. River-corridor lots are mostly flat; properties on the elevated plateau can have meaningful grade changes. Lot sizes tend to be larger than the small borough properties down on the river.
When we leave, the property should look finished — not just mowed. That means clean lines where the lawn meets the sidewalk, no ragged edges around trees or posts, no clippings sitting on the driveway or front walk. The cut should be uniform across the whole lawn, not scalped in spots or uneven in height. That visual consistency is what we're delivering every single visit, not just the first time.
We pull up, assess the lawn quickly — note any areas that are extra wet, any obstacles that weren't there last visit, anything that changes our approach. On flat and moderate terrain we run the zero-turn mower in overlapping passes to avoid streaking; on slopes we switch to a walk-behind for control and traction. Mowing height is set before we start: 3.5 to 4 inches in summer heat, adjustable for the season. After the mower is done, we go over every edge and obstacle with the string trimmer — around every tree base, fence post, gate, mailbox post, and landscaping border the deck couldn't get to. Then we run the stick edger or blade edger along the sidewalk and driveway to cut a hard line between turf and concrete. Finally, the backpack blower clears every clipping off hard surfaces. Total time on a quarter-acre lot is usually 30 to 45 minutes. We clean up completely before we leave.
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.

Varied terrain — the township spans from Ohio River terrace to hillside and elevated plateau sections. River-corridor lots are mostly flat; properties on the elevated plateau can have meaningful grade changes. Lot sizes tend to be larger than the small borough properties down on the river. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
We can, but wet grass causes clumping under the deck and leaves visible tracks in the lawn — it's not a great result. We schedule around rain when we can, and if we do mow wet conditions and clippings clump on the surface, we address it before leaving rather than just driving off. If conditions are bad enough to affect quality, we reschedule.
We keep cool-season grasses — which is what most western Pennsylvania lawns have — at 3.5 to 4 inches during summer heat. That height maintains drought tolerance and shades the soil enough to slow weed germination. In cooler spring and fall weather, 2.5 to 3 inches is acceptable. We also follow the one-third rule: we never remove more than one-third of the blade height in a single pass, so if the lawn got ahead of schedule, we may need multiple passes.
We offer spring and fall cleanups as separate services — leaf removal, debris clearing, and bed cleanup are not part of the standard mowing visit. A lot of our mowing customers add cleanup services at the start and end of the season. If you're interested, we can put together a package that covers the full season.
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 Economy 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.
