Lawn mowing in Hazelwood

Hazelwood is about thirty minutes from our shop at 2743 Hwy P in O'Fallon, across the Discovery Bridge on Highway 370 or east on I-70 to I-270. The city is mostly ranch and split-level subdivisions from the 1950s through 1970s, like Flamingo Park, Pleasant Hollow, and Riverwood, with mature shade trees and more than a hundred cul-de-sacs. We run a regular route day there through the season.

Each visit includes the mow, trimming along foundations and fences, edging the driveway and sidewalk, and blowing clippings off the hard surfaces. Lawns this age are usually fescue thinned by shade and sometimes mixed with zoysia, so we cut shaded areas tall to keep them from going bare. Clippings are mulched back in unless you ask for bagging.

What a mowing visit includes

Mowing at the right height for your grass, with sharp blades and a stripe pattern

String trimming around fences, trees, mailboxes, and beds

Edging along driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and bed lines

Blowing clippings off every hard surface before we leave

Alternating mowing direction so the lawn does not rut

A quick look at the turf each week so problems get caught early

You get an invoice after each visit or at the end of the month, paid online by card or bank. Pause or stop any time.

Mowing under Hazelwood's mature trees

Sixty-year-old oaks and maples are the best thing about these neighborhoods and the hardest thing on the lawn. We trim around surface roots by hand instead of scalping them, cut the shady side higher than the sunny side, and watch for thin spots so you can overseed in September. Hazelwood runs a free loose-leaf pickup each fall by street, and we can time a cleanup to get your leaves to the curb for your street's week.

What mowing costs in Hazelwood

Standard weekly mowing for an average Hazelwood lot starts around $50 per visit. The exact price depends on:

Lot size. A quarter-acre subdivision lot takes less time than a half-acre corner lot with a long fence line.

How much trimming there is. Lots of beds, play sets, fence edges, and tree rings add string-trimming time to every visit.

Slopes and obstacles. Steep front yards and tight gates mean smaller mowers and more passes.

Frequency. Weekly cuts are quicker and cleaner than bi-weekly cuts on tall grass, so the per-visit price is lower.

Add-ons. Bush trimming, bed weeding, mulching, and leaf cleanup can be added to the same visit for one combined price.

Lawn Mowing questions from Hazelwood homeowners

Weekly from April through October for most tall fescue lawns in Hazelwood, since cutting more than a third of the blade at once stresses the grass. In the heat of July and August growth slows, and we adjust the height and timing so the lawn stays healthy.
No. Mowing is month to month. Most customers stay on the schedule all season, and you can pause for vacation or stop with a quick call.
If the ground is too wet to cut cleanly, we push Hazelwood to the next dry day and let you know by text. Wet mowing leaves ruts and clumps, so we would rather be a day late than tear up the yard.
We mulch clippings back into the lawn on a normal cut, which returns nitrogen to the soil. If the grass is overgrown or you prefer bagging, ask and we will quote it that way.
Yes. We maintain HOA common ground, office lots, churches, and small commercial sites in Hazelwood and across St. Louis County on a scheduled program.
