Yes, Garden Soon provides lawn mowing in Shippingport — $40–$65/cut for most Beaver County properties. Flat to gently sloping river terrace throughout most of the small borough. 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 Shippingport specifically: flat to gently sloping river terrace throughout most of the small borough. Minimal grade changes on most lots make standard equipment highly efficient here. The Power Station proximity has historically influenced land use patterns, and some residential lots have industrial adjacency.
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.

Flat to gently sloping river terrace throughout most of the small borough. Minimal grade changes on most lots make standard equipment highly efficient here. The Power Station proximity has historically influenced land use patterns, and some residential lots have industrial adjacency. We adjust our equipment and approach based on what's actually there.
Reach out and give us a basic description of the property — address, approximate lot size, and whether there are any access issues like a gated fence. We'll confirm pricing and get you on the schedule. If the lawn is overgrown, we'll let you know upfront whether the first visit will be priced as a standard mow or an overgrown cleanup.
We ask that the yard be cleared of pet waste before we arrive — running over it with a mower spreads it everywhere and is something neither of us wants to deal with. If we show up and the yard isn't cleared, we may have to skip that visit or charge for the extra time required. It's a small thing that makes the visit go much better for everyone.
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.
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 Shippingport 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.
