We mow lawns in Imperial, Allegheny County — $40–$65 per cut depending on lot size and terrain. Rolling terrain with some grade changes typical of western Allegheny County. 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 Imperial specifically: rolling terrain with some grade changes typical of western Allegheny County. Most suburban lots are manageable with standard equipment. Properties near the highway corridors sometimes have irregular rear lot lines abutting commercial areas or transportation infrastructure.
Most customers are on a weekly or biweekly schedule that runs from early spring through late fall. We work around weather when we can — if your yard is soaked from two days of rain, we'd rather shift a day than leave clumping tire tracks across the lawn. If we need to reschedule, we notify you and get back out as soon as conditions allow. We don't just skip a visit without communication.
The season starts in late March or early April once the ground firms up and the grass begins pushing growth. Those first weeks we're watching carefully — cool-season grasses break dormancy unevenly, and the last thing we want to do is mow wet, soft ground and leave ruts. Through April and May, weekly visits are nearly always necessary; the grass just grows that fast. June stays weekly for most lawns. By mid-July, growth usually slows with the heat and we start seeing which customers can shift to biweekly without the lawn getting away from us. August can go either way depending on rainfall. September brings another growth surge when temperatures drop back and fall rains kick in, so we often pull some accounts back to weekly through October. By early November we're winding down, watching for the point where the grass genuinely stops growing and the last cut of the season makes sense. We stay in communication through all of it.
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.

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.
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.
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 Imperial 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.
