we usually start the middle of april. start doing clean-ups and fixing spots in the lawn where the plows or snowblowers hit. last year we started cutting in the middle/end of may.

 

Middle of march on some turf some grasses will stay dormant till mid to first of april.

 

Mowing starts mid-late March here.

 

Middle to late april.

 

We have Bermuda grass here in Oklahoma that we have to scalp down to the lowest level before the season starts. We start that on the 1st of March.

Scalping is a dirty, nasty job. It takes a long time to do one yard.

Our regular "normal" mowing begins in mid April.

 

Every year is different, but we usually try to get out there the first week of April if at all possible, and start "jumpstarting" the grass with a good cut.

 

This far south we begin at the first of march, but I think the weeds and clover are going to let us start earlier. People will have 10 weeds sticking up in their yard and call 911 and that works for me, Ive got cabin fever BAD.

 

Usually start the 1st week of april. After the 1st cut it starts growing like crazy.

 

Usually last week of Feb.

 

This year is very warm so the grass never stops growing, so do I. I thought I would put away mowing equipment since Christmas eve but totally unable to due to demand and responsibility. We still mow every two week so pretty much have not stopped at all. How that sound?
Now, Feb. is coming, and we pretty such we will end up gearing up for crazy March when weather really going in Spring.

 

I am slated to start back to work mowing and whatnot on March 5th. I believe that is the start of the first full week in March. Thats wha tI am telling my clients anyway.

 

not soon enough

Ding, ding, ding ding, We have a winner!

Snow would be nice too.

 

We start up on Feb. 26, with Lime and a few lawn preps on some new lawns that we pick-up.....Gives us a chance to have a dry run and sorta get a feel on how we are going to do things.....I am excited though, because I have surpass last year Gross already with signed contracts.....I have purchased a few new toys that I am saving for opening day....But with all the warm weather we have had here in Hotlanta, I have been running about half speed with a little mowing, and a lot of weed control....I love new neighborhoods, because most builders dont kill off the eroison control seed, and with the warm weather, those fescue clumps are growing through each sod square of bermuda....some lawns almost have been taken over by fescue, and look really bad....But it just means more $$$$ for me, because most HOA's are getting tighter about having the lawns manicured.....plus when they see their neighbors lawn looking weed free, it sparks some interest. I just hope we get a little more rain then the 3 or 4 days it rained all of last summer.....

 

Snow would be nice too.

yea i've been saying that for along time then the governer gear in my tractor broke. my plow tractor ( can't drive yet) the only thing that has a plow at my house besides well the skid steer does most the work and i guess we could always use the A. but this is what i get to play with when it snow's and i'm still waitin on the pisten rings cause i thought i'd be good while the engine's out. it hasn't snowed for so long till now d@#/ snow

Pretty much the same with me! The mowers never stopped this year!

 

Late March or the first week of April...

 

Start cleanups arond the last week of April.

 

Haha, I just can't imagine having to wait until the end of April to start work for the season. I'd go nuts.

 

We will start about the 5 of march, at least thats the plan.

 

I normally start about March 10th with landscaping installs/Mulch installs/Spring Clean Ups and its normally a money making period and then we normally start cutting the second week in April all the way through the middle of November. -Mitch-

 

It seems like most guys from Tennessee and then south, seem to be starting around the 5th of March.

 

What do you mean? "When does you season start?" Don't you mow all year long like us Southern California guy's?:laugh:

 

We just slow down but never stop. The commercial with overseeded rye and the lawns without weed control always need a trim here.

 

not soon enough

Yep.

Prolly be first of March for me, doing spring cleanups and cutting pampas grass (HATE messing with that s***, but it's fairly easy I guess). I am real excited about this season. Maybe I can actually make some MONEY this year, plus pay some stuff off, and get some new toys (want a 4x4 fourwheeler BAD).

Snowed here about 8 inches or so Friday and Saturday. Today I blew off a bunch of driveways, made a little cash. That's always nice. We are having one of the wettest winters in a long time here. Hopefully we will get a few more major snow storms snow storms this year, I kinda like blowing snow (like the MONEY actually).
