Mowing Service Schedule

Northern Virginia's four distinct seasons each bring unique challenges and opportunities for your landscape.

Spring

March-May

We start the season with thorough debris cleanup and establish crisp edging lines while beginning regular mowing schedules. Our spring approach prepares your lawn for rapid growth and sets the foundation for a lush, healthy summer.

Summer

June-August

During Fairfax's hot months, we raise mowing heights to protect grass roots. Since every summer and yard is different, we will work with you to find the perfect schedule.

Fall

September-November

We gradually lower cutting heights and perform final edging cleanups to prepare your lawn for winter dormancy. This timing creates ideal conditions for overseeding while our crews focus on keeping fallen leaves from smothering your grass.

Winter

December-February

While regular mowing pauses, we remain on standby for touch-ups during warm spells to maintain a clean appearance. Your lawn stays tidy even in dormancy, ready to spring back to life when temperatures rise.

Es una compañía con mucha experiencia.

I highly recommend Independence for your lawn care services. I have used Independence for over 5 years, and my lawn has looked better than it ever has. I have used a few national chains and have tried to do the care myself. The results weren't great. I hired Independence because they were a local company. They were a few dollars more (literally a few dollars) than the national chains, but their expertise, responsiveness to requests and questions, and, most importantly, the results (how my lawn looks) are outstanding. My lawn is almost always lush and dark green (I don't have sprinklers, so it does burn a bit in the summer), and you won't find any weeds or crabgrass. I can't say enough about the service Independence provides.Chad and Sam and the rest of the talented team at Independence will treat you right.

"EVERYONE"! Sincerely, Millie

We have used Independence Landscaping for many years for weekly lawn service and we have been extremely happy with the results for our lawn. For the last 4 years, Independence Landscaping has done our big spring clean-up, which included weeding, mulching, edging, trimming and reshaping all the bushes, as well as new plantings. They have done an outstanding job, and we are so happy with the expertise and the experience the company brings to the job! I would like to especially thank the landscape crew that worked on the job: Deybi (the crew leader) , Carlos, and Jose. Thank you so much for such a beautiful job! We highly recommend Independence Landscape for any of your landscape needs!

Independence does great work. Their crew is very responsive and their work is professional. Independence keeps the yard in great shape and the gardens looking good. We give them a high recommendation.

Wow!...this is the first word that comes to mind when I think of the job Independence Landscape has done transforming my lawn. I used the word transform because that is truly what they have done in such a short time. From the first consultation with Brandon to the weekly mowing with Henry's crew, to the sodding and clean up project with Deybi, Carlos and Luis. And whatever product Francisco is treating the lawn with has my yard looking spectacular. So far I would give my experience with Independence Landscape a 10/10. My account manager Brandon is very personable and always reachable. They have a great online invoicing system so you can see exactly what service has been performed and when before they charge you. Knowing I have such professionals on my side handling my yard for me provides so much peace of mind. I look forward to continuing working with Independence for a long time!

We had an excellent experience with Independence Landscape over the years, and a major reason for that was Brandon Caycedo. In an era where reliability and accountability seem increasingly rare, Brandon consistently stood out.

Any time we had questions or concerns, he would personally come to our home to speak with us face-to-face. He was patient, professional, and transparent when explaining the costs associated with services and projects. Admittedly, I was initially skeptical about some of the pricing. That skepticism disappeared once we were exposed to the half-baked work and poor reliability of competing companies — whether for snow removal, landscaping, or tree and plant installation. The difference in quality, responsiveness, and professionalism became obvious very quickly.

Brandon and the team at Independence Landscape demonstrated something that is unfortunately uncommon today: consistency, responsibility, and genuine pride in their work. Too bad there are not more responsible and reliable companies — and people like Brandon — across other service industries.

Highly recommend.

We’ve been using Independence Landscape for the past two years and couldn’t be happier with their service.

Allen, our account manager, is always available to talk or meet whenever we have questions or want to discuss our lawn care. Thanks to their team, our lawn has never looked better—lush, green, and so soft it feels like walking on a plush carpet. As dog owners (we have an English bulldog), we also really appreciate that the products they use are pet friendly.

Recently, we had them fix a low spot in our front lawn and refresh the mulch in our landscape beds. The crew—Modesto, Brian, and Vidal—arrived right on time and immediately got to work. They truly went above and beyond: the lawn repair looks fantastic, and all of the beds were not only freshly mulched but also carefully edged, giving everything a clean, polished look.

We’re absolutely thrilled with the results—our yard has never looked better. We highly recommend Independence Landscape for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality lawn and landscaping services.

Can’t recommend Independence Landscape enough! As busy parents, working full time and managing young children, we needed to outsource our landscaping and yard maintenance. The team at Independence has been responsive to our needs and extremely communicative. Additionally, we frequently receive compliments from our neighbors about how excellent our yard looks. Their prices are fair and their work is consistent and professional. You won’t be disappointed.
