The service
What lawn mowing & edging is, what a visit covers and where the line is.
The short answer
Lawn mowing and edging is a visit in which a background-checked local pro cuts your grass to a set height, trims the edges along walks, beds and fences with a string trimmer, blows clippings off hard surfaces and leaves the yard tidy. Lawn Mowing & Edging in Los Gatos is booked through pros who cover its 4 ZIP codes, in neighborhoods such as Downtown Los Gatos, Almond Grove, and Belgatos. In Los Gatos, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain. Every mowing visit on NorTech is priced by the pro you pick, who also sets the warranty.

What shapes a lawn mowing & edging job
These are the things that make one job different from another. Mention them in your notes so each pro can scope your job properly.

What is not part of lawn mowing & edging
Knowing where the line is keeps the visit on track and keeps you safe. When a job belongs to a specialist, NorTech tells you before you book.
- If this mowing visit grows until labor and materials reach $1,000, a licensed contractor takes it over, and NorTech points that out before you book.
- Fertilizer, weed killer and pest products. Lawn treatment is its own service on NorTech and some products are applied only by licensed pros.
- Aeration, overseeding, dethatching and sod replacement, which are separate lawn services.
- Hedge and tree trimming, bed weeding and leaf removal beyond a light clean-up. Each has its own service on NorTech.
- Repairs to irrigation heads or lines that the mower damages are for the irrigation service.

How often to book lawn mowing & edging
A lawn stays healthy when it is cut on a steady rhythm, and the best rhythm follows your grass, not the calendar. Each visit is booked with the pro you chose, and a plan can be paused, skipped or changed.
Put lawn mowing & edging on a plan
Choose a pro who runs a plan and pick your frequency in the booking card. Before each visit your request goes to the same pro at their price that day, and you are charged only after they accept.
Before you book lawn mowing & edging
Quick things that save a trip. Tick them off as you go; none of it is required to book.
Clear the lawn before the visit
Pick up toys, hoses, dog waste, sticks and loose stones. Stones thrown by a mower are dangerous and dull blades, and dog waste spreads when it is cut.
Tell the pro your grass height
Leave a note about how tall you like the lawn and whether you want clippings bagged or mulched. A taller cut protects the lawn in summer heat.
Mark sprinkler heads and hazards
Pop-up heads sit just below the grass line and are easy to hit. Flag them, along with pet fences, low-voltage lights and soft spots, so the pro cuts around them.
Sort out gate access
Unlock gates, put pets inside and note any gate code in the booking. A locked gate often means a skipped visit.
Pick a rhythm that fits the season
Weekly in spring and summer, every other week in slow seasons, and paused in winter is the usual pattern. Ask your pro which fits your grass, then change the plan as the lawn changes.
Ask about the warranty
Each pro lists a workmanship warranty on their profile. Ask what counts as a covered problem, such as scalping or damaged edges, before you book.

How where you live changes lawn mowing & edging
Best time to book lawn mowing & edging
Grass grows most when it is warm and moist, so cutting runs from the first spring growth through the last fall cut. Cool-season lawns peak in spring and fall, warm-season lawns peak in summer, and lawns in freezing climates go dormant and need no cuts through winter. In Los Gatos, the dry season from late spring to fall is the easiest time for outside work, and the fall calendar fills before the first big rain.
