5.0 on Google · Licensed & insuredWhat a mowing visit includes
- MowAt the height your grass needs, never lower. On St. Augustine that means 3½ to 4 inches.
- String-trimAlong fences, beds, trees, the mailbox post, and anywhere the mower can’t reach.
- EdgeThe driveway, the sidewalk and the curb, so the lines stay straight all season.
- Blow offClippings go back onto the lawn, not into the street. Mount Dora’s storm drains run to the lakes.
Cut height matters more than people think
Most lawn trouble in Lake County starts with mowing too short. Scalped St. Augustine gets thin, lets weeds in, and dries out faster in the sandy soil. UF/IFAS recommends these heights, and they’re the ones we mow to:
| Grass | Mowing height |
|---|---|
| St. Augustine (Floratam, Bitterblue) | 3½–4 in |
| Dwarf St. Augustine (Seville, Delmar, Captiva) | 2–2½ in |
| Bahia | 3–4 in |
| Zoysia | about 2 in |
| Centipede | 1–2 in |
We also follow the one-third rule: never take off more than a third of the blade in one cut. That’s the whole reason the schedule speeds up in summer. If a lawn has been left to grow, we bring it down over two or three visits instead of all at once.
A schedule that follows the grass
Warm-season grass in Mount Dora grows hard from spring through fall, then slows when the nights cool off. So visits are weekly from April through October and every other week from November through March. That works out to about 41 visits a year, and you’re not paying for a January mow the lawn doesn’t need.
You get a set day of the week. If rain washes out your day, the visit moves to the next dry one.
What weekly mowing costs
Most Mount Dora yards run $75 to $125 a visit, and every visit is the full job: mow, trim, edge and blow off. Large and lakefront lots are priced from their measurements. The pricing guide shows what a summer month and a full year add up to.
Mowing under Mount Dora’s oaks
A lot of Mount Dora sits under old live oaks. St. Augustine thins out in heavy shade, so we leave it taller there rather than cutting it down to match the sunny side of the yard.
