Mowing
Mowing Services
There’s no doubt that a truly exceptional lawn begins with proper mowing. While it might seem like a simple task, mowing is the foundation of all healthy lawn care and the most visible sign of a well-maintained property. At Tru Edge Landscape, providing quality mowing services in Shippensburg and the surrounding areas means applying detailed, professional strategies that prioritize your turf's long-term health, not just its immediate appearance. We're proud to be known as a top landscape company that sees the finer points in every pass of the mower.
The "Rule of Thirds": Mowing Height Matters
Our first and most crucial insight is the "Rule of Thirds." We never remove more than one-third of the grass blade's height in a single cutting. Cutting too short, or "scalping," severely stresses the grass, making it vulnerable to drought, disease, and weed invasion. We adapt our blade height based on the season and grass type, ensuring the turf can develop deep roots and a lush, vibrant color.

Maintaining a Consistent Schedule
Consistency is paramount. We establish a reliable schedule for our clients, recognizing that the rate of grass growth fluctuates throughout the spring and summer. By maintaining consistent timing, we prevent the need for drastic, stressful cuts. This consistent care keeps your lawn density high, which naturally helps crowd out opportunistic weeds, resulting in a cleaner, more robust yard.

Edging and Trimming for Crisp Lines
A truly professional appearance comes from the details. Our landscaping services always include precise edging along sidewalks, driveways, and garden beds, coupled with detailed trimming around permanent fixtures. This commitment to crisp, clean lines provides the polished, finished look that elevates a good cut to a great one. We believe the edges define the excellence of the entire lawn.
The Benefits of Clippings: Natural Fertilization
We utilize mulching mowers whenever possible to return finely chopped clippings back to the turf. These clippings are rich in nitrogen, acting as a natural, slow-release fertilizer. This process saves you money, reduces waste, and contributes to a healthier soil structure. For us, every step in our process is an opportunity to naturally enhance your property.
We approach every lawn with the expertise and detail-oriented focus that has established us as the area's best landscaper. Our understanding of proper mowing—from blade height to timing and mulching—is what shapes the superior quality of all our landscaping services. We don't just cut grass; we cultivate a healthy outdoor space you can enjoy. Get in touch today!
