Ave. # of weeks mowing in each state or area??

Hermanator · Dec 2, 2005

Hey guys.... and gals... Just wondering about all the different areas out there on how many weeks on average you get to mow per year and what grasses your cutting mostly. I know south Florida is probably year around with the temps and grasses there. Here we are about 26-28 weeks with some fesque, but mostly bermuda.

thanx......

LLandscaping · Jan 1, 2006

We make 42 visits a year including leaf removal. Jan. - Mar. every other week and April thru December once a week. We mow mainly bermuda, zyosia and a decent amount of centipede.

South Florida Lawns · Jan 1, 2006

All year long, but slow down in early December. About 37-40 times a year.

PMLAWN · Jan 1, 2006

I figure 38 cuts for the year Just north of Charlotte.
We visit all year just every 2 weeks Dec 1 - March 15th but don't cut much. Just trim and blow and clean-up

I don't know how you guys do it year round. I need some kind of break in there or I would go nuts probably. :dizzy:

Omaha,Ne--28 mowings early April thru Oct. However my average start for spring steady work is march 17 and have started March 1st. fall cleanups thru Nov. Crazy weather, had cold and snow 8" for first two weeks of Dec. Now it's 48 and sunny on Jan 1.06. Worked the last two weeks of Dec. Highs in summer in the 90's and winters can be below 0 with no problem.

Maryland, 30 cuts a year. Fescue, Rye and Burmuda mostly.

Where are you at in Maryland?

Rev. Crabgrass · Apr 17, 2006

40 per year on the average. Depends on drought more than season length.

32-35 weeks of mowing. Usually from Mid to late March to mid to late October. I go from mowing directly into fall cleanups and they last till about mid to late Dec. Usually about 2-3 snows in there from Jan till early March and then its back to mowing.

grass-scapes · Apr 18, 2006

Right around 40 here

Watkinslawnservice · Apr 19, 2006

I think I got 22 or 23 cuts in last year in Minnesota.

topsites · Apr 19, 2006

Virginia zone 8, average 16 cuts a year.
Lowest is 7, highest is 25 (by lawn).

What do you guys do, cut it every time it grows 1/4 of an inch? I don't have time to cut that much, my stuff is usually ankle high (4-5 inches, sometimes 6) before I can get around to it... No wonder this country has fuel issues.

22-24 here, although this last year I got 17

20-27

Company policy is that we have a minimum of 20 cuts. If they are not going to make their 20 cuts because of no rain, we start cutting the hay. 27 cuts are the lawns that are irrigated and get cut every week.

Turf Dancer · Apr 19, 2006

Depending on the customer around 30 to 32 weeks.

I base all my contracts on 24, from May to October.

In 18 years it's been as low as 16, and as high as 28.
