Your lawn, every week. Same guy.
I'm Erik. I mow, trim and edge lawns from late April to November, and I do the spring and fall jobs in between. Priced per visit by the size of your lot, and you can stop any time.
- A text the day before
- Trim and edge included
- No contract
Weekly mowing plans
One price per visit, set by your lot
Every visit is a full cut, string-trimming around beds, fences and posts, a crisp edge along walks and driveway, and clippings blown off the hard surfaces. Prices include HST.
Medium lot
4,000 to 8,000 sq ft. A typical front and back yard in Clayton Park, Dartmouth or Fairview.
$55 per visit, weekly
$65 per visit every other week
Large lot
8,000 to 15,000 sq ft. Corner lots, Bedford and Rockingham yards, lots with slopes.
$70 per visit, weekly
$84 per visit every other week
Bigger than 15,000 sq ft, or a steep bank? Send me the address and I'll quote it. Every-other-week costs a little more per visit because the grass is longer and takes a second pass. You're billed once a month for the visits that actually happened, by e-transfer or card.
Seasonal jobs
The jobs between the mowing
Booked on their own or added to a plan. Prices are starting points for a small lot; I'll confirm yours before I start.
Spring April and May
- Spring cleanupRaking out winter debris and sand from the plough, picking up branches, tidying bed edges, hauling it all away.

- from $120
Summer June to August
- Hedge and shrub trimmingCedar hedges, boxwood and foundation shrubs shaped and cleaned up. Once in late June is enough for most yards.
- from $90
Fall September to November

- from $165

How it works
Three rules I keep every week
- You get a text the day before.
- It says roughly when I'll be there. Leave the side gate unlatched and the dog inside, and that's all you need to do.
- It's me, every visit.
- No crews, no new faces. I know where your sprinkler heads are and which bed you don't want the trimmer near.
- Dry week? We skip it.
- If it hasn't rained and the grass hasn't grown, cutting it short only browns it. I'll text to say I'm skipping, and you don't pay for that week.

What I refer out
I'd rather send you to the right person than do a job halfway. Ask and I'll tell you who I'd call.
- Tree removal and big limbs That needs a certified arborist with the right insurance.
- Landscaping construction Patios, retaining walls, sod for a new build, grading.
- Snow ploughing The mower goes away in November and I don't run a plough.

Tell me about the yard
Send the address and what you'd like done. I look up the lot, often drive past it on my route, and come back to you by text or phone with a per-visit price. Sending this doesn't book anything or commit you to a thing.
Rather talk? Call or text (555) 555-0115. If I'm on a mower I'll call you back at the end of the row.
