Lawn Care & Mowing in Long Island

Some people enjoy cutting the grass. Plenty of others would rather spend the weekend on anything else, and the lawn doesn't wait while you decide.

EEB looks after residential lawns in Nassau and Suffolk County:

1. Regular mowing and edging
2. Lawn maintenance on a set schedule
3. Sod for bare or worn-out patches
4. Fertilizing arranged around your lawn and the rules that apply to it

Tell us what the yard needs, send a few photos, and we'll send you a quote before anything is scheduled.

• ✓Lawn mowing. Mowing, edging along accessible walks and driveways, light trimming around borders and obstacles, and loose clippings blown off the paths and driveway we've serviced.
• ✓Lawn care maintenance. Visits weekly, every two weeks, every four weeks, one-time or seasonally as needed. We'll recommend a frequency based on the lawn, the weather and the time of year.
• ✓Lawn aeration and overseeding. Available on request and quoted for your property, depending on the lawn's condition and the time of year.
• ✓Sod and lawn installation. Laying sod, or establishing a new lawn, where the grass is bare or worn out. Soil preparation and grading are quoted separately unless your quote includes them.
• ✓Fertilization. Fertilization is quoted for the property and performed or arranged in accordance with applicable New York requirements and product-label directions.
• ✓Lawn and outdoor pest control. Pest-control service may be coordinated through appropriately licensed providers where required.

Quoted separately

Heavy brush, major overgrowth, debris removal, specialty trimming and areas that aren't safe to reach aren't part of a standard visit. We quote those separately.

While grass is actively growing, many lawns need cutting every week or every two weeks. Rain, heat, shade and the type of grass all change how fast it grows, so the right schedule varies from yard to yard.

The one-third rule

A common lawn guideline is the one-third rule: avoid taking off more than about a third of the blade's height in a single mow.

Cutting a little at a time is easier on the grass than an occasional heavy cut, which is one reason people choose a regular schedule over calling someone when the lawn gets out of hand.

1. Homeowners who want the lawn handled without giving up their weekends
2. Landlords and property managers looking after rental homes
3. Sellers getting a house ready to list, who want the outside to match the inside (see home staging)
4. Owners of vacant or bank-owned homes that need the yard kept presentable (see foreclosure cleaning)

Commercial properties

Looking after an office park, retail center or HOA grounds? Our commercial landscaping page covers that work.

1. Before. Open Lawn Care in our services directory and tell us the address, roughly how big the lawn is, what you'd like done and how often. Photos of the front and back yard help, along with gates, pets, slopes or anything else we should know about.
2. Quote. We review the details and send a quote to your EEB account. If the photos don't tell us enough, we may ask a few questions or arrange a quick look at the property first.
3. On the day. The crew arrives within the agreed window and works around beds, trees and anything in the yard. You don't usually need to be home, as long as the gate and any pets are sorted out ahead of time.
4. After. Clippings are handled the way you chose: left on the lawn as mulch where suitable, bagged for pickup where permitted, or hauled away for an additional charge.

Licensed work

Some lawn work, such as fertilizing and pest treatments, has legal and product-label requirements. Where a license or registration is required, that work is performed or arranged through appropriately licensed providers.

Services may be performed or coordinated through qualified service professionals or providers, as appropriate for the particular service and project requirements. Either way, you deal with EEB.

There isn't one price for "lawn care", because no two yards take the same time. Your quote is based on:

1. The size of the lawn and how many separate areas there are
2. How often you want visits
3. The lawn's condition: a badly overgrown or neglected lawn may need a separate first-visit price, and regular pricing starts once the lawn is in maintainable shape
4. Slopes, tight gates, fences and obstacles that slow the work
5. Anything added, such as aeration, overseeding, sod, fertilizing, or hauling away clippings

You see the quote in your EEB account before you book, and nothing changes without your approval.
