Lawn care
We cut, edge and clear the whole property on a schedule you can set your watch by, then blow off the drive and shut the gate behind us. We price it on the measured square footage of the property, and you get the figure the same day you ask.
Most Charleston lawns want a weekly cut from March through October and every two weeks once the growth slows. If you are not sure which yours is, give us the address and we will tell you what the property needs rather than what sells a bigger plan.
What one visit includes.
- Mowing at the right height for your grass, raised through the worst of the summer heat
- Every bed, walk and driveway edged, on every visit rather than every third one
- String trimming around fences, posts, trees and bed lines
- Clippings cleared off the concrete instead of blown into the street
- Gates shut and latched behind us before we leave
By the square foot
The area gets measured rather than guessed at from the size of the house. The number climbs with the property and with nothing else after the fact.
Size sets the price. Frequency and access move it.
Weekly is the baseline. Longer between cuts means taller grass and slower work, so the per-visit price goes up even as the monthly total comes down.
The size of the property
The main lever
Measured off the property, not guessed from the kerb. A half-acre lot is not priced like a city lot and neither of them is priced from the look of the house.
Every two weeks
More per visit
Taller grass takes longer to cut and leaves more to clear. The monthly total still lands lower than weekly, which is why we will say so rather than sell you the bigger plan.
Monthly or one off
More again
A month of Lowcountry growth is a different job to a week of it, and it gets priced as one.
Front only, or back only
Lower, with a floor
A partial job costs less than the whole property, down to a minimum, because the drive out costs the same either way.
Narrow gate access
Adds to the back
A gate that only takes a push mower makes the back yard run around a third longer, so we ask about it before quoting rather than after.
Slope, trees and beds
Priced in, never added later
Steep ground and a yard thick with obstacles both slow the crew down. They belong in the figure you agreed to, not on the invoice you did not expect.
Extras
Quoted as options
Hedge and shrub trimming, leaf and property cleanups, and pet waste pickup are each quoted on their own so you can take any of them off and watch the number move.
Whatever the mix, you get one figure before the first visit, and it stays that figure unless you change what you asked for.
A week and a half of growth.

What people ask before they hand over a gate code.
How often does a Charleston lawn need cutting?
Weekly from March through October, then every two weeks through the cool months. Warm season grasses here put on most of their growth in the heat. Stretch a weekly lawn to a fortnight in June and you are paying someone to cut hay.
Can you do the front only, or the back only?
Yes. A partial job is priced below the whole property, down to a minimum, because the drive out costs the same either way.
What happens over winter?
The grass slows and the schedule slows with it. Most customers drop to every two weeks or monthly through the cool months, then go back up in March.
My back gate is narrow. Is that a problem?
Not a problem, but it changes the price. A gate that only takes a push mower makes the back yard take around a third longer, so we ask about it before quoting rather than after.
What does the yard look like when you leave?
Stripes running the same line as the last visit, bed edges cut clean, no clippings on the concrete, gate latched. If you get home and cannot tell where the truck was parked, that is the job done right.
What does lawn service cost per month?
Lawn maintenance is priced on frequency more than anything else. A weekly cut through the growing season is four or five visits a month; every two weeks is two or three. Per visit, every-two-weeks costs a little more because the grass is taller, but the monthly total lands lower. We will give you both numbers so you can pick, rather than quoting whichever suits us.
