  • Lawn mowing at the correct height for Okanagan summer heat (never cut more than 1/3 blade length)

  • String trimming around fences, trees, obstacles, and tight corners
  • Grass clipping removal or mulching based on your preference
  • Blowing driveways, patios, and paths clean after every visit
  • Seasonal height adjustment — higher in summer heat, lower in spring/fall
  • Irrigation head checks noted and flagged to you
  • Post-mow property inspection — we leave it looking sharp

How It Works

1
Free Estimate

We walk your property, measure the lawn, and give you a firm flat-rate price before any work begins. No surprises.

2
Schedule Setup

We set a mowing frequency that matches your lawn's growth rate — typically every 7–10 days in spring/fall, and 10–14 days in peak summer heat.

3
Pre-Mow Check

Before mowing, we check for obstacles, mark any irrigation heads, and confirm the right cutting height for the season.

4
Mow, Edge & Trim

Full mow at the correct height, clean edging along all hard surfaces, and trimming around fences, beds, and obstacles.

5
Cleanup

We blow all clippings off driveways, patios, and walkways. You won't need to clean up after us.

6
Ongoing Communication

If we notice anything unusual — irrigation issues, disease, bare patches — we'll flag it so you can address it before it becomes a bigger problem.

Okanagan Tips

  • In Kelowna and the central Okanagan, set your mowing height to 3–3.5 inches in July and August. Taller grass shades the soil and cuts water loss significantly.
  • Never cut more than one-third of the grass blade at once. If you've missed a few weeks, we'll do a gradual reduction over two visits rather than scalp it.
  • Early morning mowing (before 10am) is easier on the grass and causes less heat stress than mowing in the afternoon sun.
  • If your lawn goes dormant (yellow/brown) in August, that's normal for unirrigated Okanagan lawns. It will recover when fall rains arrive. Don't panic-water.

Common Questions

How often should I mow my lawn in Kelowna?

During Kelowna's growing season (late April through late September), most lawns need mowing every 7–10 days in spring and fall when growth is fastest, and every 10–14 days in the heat of July and August. We set up a schedule that keeps your lawn looking maintained without cutting too frequently or letting it get out of control.

How much does lawn mowing cost in Kelowna?

Our pricing is flat-rate based on lawn size. Most standard residential lawns in Kelowna fall in the range of $50–$120 per visit depending on size and complexity. We give you a firm price at the estimate — no surprise invoices. Call or text (250) 307-9220 for a free quote.

Do you offer one-time mowing or do I need a regular schedule?

No contracts, ever. We're happy to do single cuts, occasional visits when you're away, or regular weekly/biweekly service. Whatever works for your property and schedule, we can accommodate.

What height should I be cutting my lawn at in Kelowna's summer?

For the Okanagan summer heat, we recommend keeping lawns at 3–3.5 inches through July and August. Taller grass shades the soil, reduces evaporation, and stays greener longer without extra watering. We adjust our cut height by season — you don't need to think about it.
