We mow lawns in Monaca, Beaver County — $40–$65 per cut depending on lot size and terrain. Relatively flat along the river terrace with a rise toward the borough's inland 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 Monaca specifically: relatively flat along the river terrace with a rise toward the borough's inland sections. Most lots are workable with standard riding equipment. The community's mix of industrial, commercial, and residential land use means some residential properties have unusual lot shapes and access points.
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.

Relatively flat along the river terrace with a rise toward the borough's inland sections. Most lots are workable with standard riding equipment.

We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
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 Monaca 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.
