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 sharp edging lines while your lawn awakens from winter dormancy. Our spring mowing approach focuses on encouraging healthy growth while maintaining a neat appearance as your grass enters its most active growing period.

Summer

June-August

We adjust mowing heights upward to protect grass roots from Arlington's intense summer heat. 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 detailed edging cleanups while managing leaf removal to prevent grass suffocation. This careful approach prepares your lawn for winter while creating ideal conditions for any overseeding work you might need.

Winter

December-February

While regular mowing pauses, we remain on standby for touch-ups during Arlington's unpredictable warm spells. Our winter service focuses on maintaining a clean, tidy appearance so your lawn looks its best even during dormancy.

Great experience and great job done by the team. Super professional and worth mentioning they did an amazing job on cleanup. They worked their butts off to move a Japanese Maple for us as well, which was no small lift

Used independence for sod install and spring clean up and we were very happy with their services! Extremely professional, proactive, and communicative, which is difficult to find in this industry.

We especially enjoyed working with Ben throughout all of our services and also Connor for discussion of future landscaping projects. A great team and high quality delivery - proof you get what you pay for.

I have lived in the area for 14 years and just last year I had Independence come out to fix a drainage issue from my gutters/downspouts and started on a lawn mowing/ maintenance program along with some mulch work and reseeding the lawn. I must say, and even my neighbors have commented that my yard, so far, is the best they have seen it look in a long time. Excellent work and fair price structure. I just want to add to the review I posted at an earlier date. I am now planning a move and Independence has spruce up my property for curb appeal and have done an exceptional job. My original project manager Ben and his follow up, Sam have always treated me with the utmost respect and listened to my wants and needs and their crews have been exceptional from their start back in early 2022. The prices, as I stated in my previous post are fair and reasonable. My neighbors are constantly giving positive e feedback to me about how great the landscape has looked since the beginning. I thanked Sam tremendously at his last stop here snd Ben even came out to wish me luck with my whole move and to rank me for my business and to generally just say it was a pleasure to have me as a client. Unbelievable service. DO NOT BYPASS INDEPENDENCE LANDSCAPING!

Stellar service! ! Kyle has been an exceptional account manager—professional, responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, honest and incredibly attentive to every detail. He truly takes ownership of our property and makes sure everything is done right and looks its absolute best.

What stands out most about Kyle is his level of care and follow-through. We never have to chase things down, repeatedly point out issues, or follow behind the crew to make sure the job is completed properly. Kyle notices the details, addresses anything that needs attention, and makes sure everything is perfect without us having to ask.

It’s rare to find someone who genuinely cares for a property as if it were his own and takes such pride in the finished result. Kyle’s communication, attention to detail, accountability, and commitment to excellence are exactly what you hope for in an account manager. His stellar service gives us complete confidence that everything will be taken care of. We highly recommend Kyle and the entire team at Independence Landscape.

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.

I have been with Independence Landscape for many years, and they never disappoint. Thanks to you Curt for all that you do, any your amazing team. From the office > the mowers > to the support staff. "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!
