Yes, Garden Soon provides lawn mowing in Moon Township — $40–$65/cut for most Allegheny County properties. Rolling to moderately hilly terrain with substantial variation across the township's large area. 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 Moon Township specifically: rolling to moderately hilly terrain with substantial variation across the township's large area. Subdivision lots in the developed sections are mostly manageable, but properties near the township's edges and some of the hillside residential areas have more pronounced slopes. Airport-area commercial zones create interesting adjacency situations for some residential lots.
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.

Subdivision lots in the developed sections are mostly manageable, but properties near the township's edges and some of the hillside residential areas have more pronounced slopes. Airport-area commercial zones create interesting adjacency situations for some residential lots. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
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.
No long-term contract is required. Most customers stay on a seasonal schedule that runs spring through fall, and we ask for reasonable notice if you need to stop service, but we're not locking anyone into a multi-year agreement. Consistency works better for everyone, but we keep it straightforward.
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 Moon Township 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.
