This question is for those of you who leave in the New York Tri-State area. I was wondering when does your mowing season usually begin and end. Also, when do you usually start your Spring clean ups.

Thanks,

Carl

Spring cleanups and mulching begin in early to mid-march. Mowing usually begins around the second or third week of April and ends right now. I can eke out a few more cuts via mulching the leaves. Not to mention Lowering the blades in 1/4" increments starting the second week of October gives the appearance of cutting the grass.

Season starts as early in March as possible and ends the week of turkey day.

If weather permits and there is no snow you can go back out and check to make sure that any of the Pin Oaks and Maples that like to start dropping in Dec havent covered the ground.

We cut one year the second week of Dec because it just didnt get cold fast enough in Nov and the grass kept growing.

Upstate we're a little behind you guy's as far as starting in the spring.
We usually start the beginning of april depending on if there's still snow up here.Rarely can we start in march. And we go through now doing leaf cleanups etc..

First or second week in March start in spring. I start fall clean ups after Thanksgiving and go until a week before Christmas, sometimes even later as Beech, Oak, and some maples are very slow to drop their leaves.
