Professional mowing service for Howard County properties
Call for FREE Mowing QuoteA well-maintained lawn requires consistent, professional mowing throughout the growing season. At Greenlawn Inc, we've been providing reliable lawn mowing services to Ellicott City and Columbia homeowners since 1986. Our professional mowing service goes far beyond simply cutting grass—we provide complete lawn maintenance that includes precise mowing at proper heights, detailed string trimming around all obstacles, professional edging along driveways and walkways, and thorough blowing of clippings from all hard surfaces.
Whether you need weekly mowing during peak growing season, bi-weekly service for cost-effective maintenance, or specialized services like lawn striping for that professional sports field look, we have the expertise and equipment to keep your Howard County lawn looking its absolute best. Our experienced crews work efficiently, arrive on consistent schedules, and take pride in delivering results that make your property stand out in your neighborhood.
Peak-season weekly mowing keeps lawns perfectly maintained. Ideal for spring and early summer when grass grows rapidly.
Cost-effective every-other-week service. Perfect for slower-growing periods or budget-conscious homeowners.
Professional edging creates crisp, clean borders along driveways, walkways, and beds. Makes lawns look professionally maintained.
Detailed string trimming around trees, fences, obstacles, and tight spaces. Complete coverage where mowers can't reach.
Professional striping patterns create that coveted baseball field appearance. Premium service for homeowners who want exceptional curb appeal.
DIY mowing often produces disappointing results because homeowners lack professional equipment, cut at incorrect heights, mow at wrong times, or simply don't have time to maintain consistent schedules. Professional mowing succeeds because we use commercial-grade mowers that cut cleanly without tearing grass (which causes browning and disease), we understand proper mowing heights for different grass types and seasons, and we maintain consistent weekly or bi-weekly schedules that prevent grass from getting overgrown.
Our 39 years serving Howard County means we understand local grass types, growing patterns, and seasonal adjustments. We know when to raise mowing heights during summer heat stress, how to handle fall leaf drop while continuing to mow, and proper heights for the final mowing of the season. We also have backup equipment and redundant crews, ensuring your lawn gets mowed even if equipment breaks down or weather delays occur—reliability DIY mowing simply can't match.
When Greenlawn Inc mows your Ellicott City or Columbia lawn, you get complete service, not just basic grass cutting:
We mow lawns at proper heights for grass type and season using commercial-grade mowers with sharp blades. Cutting heights are adjusted seasonally—higher in summer for heat tolerance, lower in spring and fall. We use professional mowing patterns that create even, attractive results and change patterns weekly to prevent ruts and compaction. Learn more about our weekly mowing service and bi-weekly mowing options.
Professional grass trimming around every tree, fence line, bed edge, foundation, and obstacle ensures no grass is left uncut. We trim carefully to avoid damaging trees, shrubs, or structures. Detail work makes the difference between amateur and professional results.
Lawn edging along driveways, walkways, and bed borders creates crisp, clean lines that define your property. Proper edging prevents grass from creeping into beds and onto hardscapes, maintaining neat boundaries. This step is often skipped by DIY mowers but is essential for professional appearance.
We blow all clippings off driveways, walkways, patios, and other hard surfaces. Your property looks clean and professional when we leave, not covered in grass clippings. We also blow beds lightly to remove any clippings that landed on mulch.
Grass clippings are typically left on lawns where they decompose quickly and return nutrients to soil (grasscycling). For properties where clipping collection is preferred, we can discuss bagging options. Our professional mowers mulch clippings finely so they disappear into the turf within hours.
Choosing between weekly and bi-weekly mowing depends on your lawn's growth rate, your aesthetic standards, and your budget:
Weekly mowing maintains lawns at consistent, ideal heights throughout the growing season. Grass never gets overgrown, properties always look perfectly maintained, and lawns remain healthier because we're never removing more than one-third of blade height per mowing (the golden rule of mowing). Weekly service is ideal during peak growing season (April through June in Howard County) when grass can grow 2-3 inches per week. Most homeowners who want showcase lawns choose weekly mowing during peak season.
Bi-weekly mowing provides cost-effective maintenance for lawns during slower growth periods or for budget-conscious homeowners. During hot summer months (July-August) and fall (September-October), grass growth slows significantly in Howard County. Bi-weekly mowing during these periods maintains acceptable appearance while reducing costs. Some homeowners use bi-weekly service year-round and find it meets their needs perfectly.
Many Ellicott City and Columbia clients use hybrid schedules—weekly mowing during peak spring growth, switching to bi-weekly during summer slowdown, then back to weekly in fall when growth accelerates with cooler weather and fall rains. We work with you to create schedules that maintain your property beautifully while fitting your budget.
For homeowners who want their lawns to stand out with that professional sports field appearance, we offer lawn striping services. Striping creates alternating light and dark patterns by bending grass blades in different directions as we mow. This doesn't harm grass—it simply reflects light differently, creating stunning visual patterns. Striping requires specialized equipment, professional technique, and consistent maintenance, which is why it's a premium service that truly showcases your property.
