Yes! The Little Lawn Co. is equipped to handle properties with challenging terrain and various obstacles. Our team is experienced in mowing on hills, around landscaping features, trees, play equipment, fences, and more.
We use a combination of commercial-grade riding mowers, walk-behind mowers, and string trimmers to ensure every part of your lawn is properly maintained, regardless of accessibility challenges. Our equipment selection allows us to access tight spaces and navigate steep slopes while maintaining the highest quality standards.
During our initial assessment, we'll evaluate any challenging areas of your property and develop a specific plan to address them, ensuring a consistent cut throughout your entire lawn.
For most Central PA residential lawns, we recommend:
The ideal frequency depends on several factors:
We typically maintain a 3-3.5 inch grass height for optimal lawn health in our region. This height helps shade the soil, reduces weed growth, and promotes deeper root development.
Custom schedules are available for unique situations, including vacation properties or rental homes.
At The Little Lawn Co., we have a clear weather policy for our customers:
We never mow extremely wet lawns as this can damage your grass, create ruts, and result in poor cutting quality. Our team monitors weather forecasts and makes appropriate adjustments to ensure your lawn receives proper care without damage.
No, you don't need to be home when we provide lawn mowing services. The Little Lawn Co. makes the process convenient for homeowners:
If you have special instructions or areas that require attention, please let us know in advance, and we'll make note of them in our service records.
For regular maintenance services like weekly or bi-weekly mowing, we recommend scheduling at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially during the peak growing season (April-October) when our schedule fills quickly.
For one-time services or special requests, we typically require 3-5 business days' notice, though we do our best to accommodate urgent needs when possible.
The best approach is to set up a regular maintenance schedule at the beginning of the season, which guarantees your spot in our rotation and ensures consistent care for your lawn throughout the growing season.
For new customers, we'll need to conduct a brief property assessment before providing a quote and scheduling your first service. This assessment can usually be completed within 1-3 business days of your initial contact.
While we strive to accommodate all customer needs, same-day service is rarely available due to our carefully planned routing and scheduling system. Our crews follow optimized routes each day to maximize efficiency and provide consistent service to all customers.
For urgent needs, please call our office directly at 814-422-5296 (422-LAWN), and we'll check if there's any availability in our schedule. If same-day service isn't possible, we'll find the earliest available slot for your property.
To avoid the need for urgent service, we recommend setting up a regular maintenance schedule that ensures your lawn is consistently maintained throughout the growing season.

In Central Pennsylvania, our typical lawn mowing season runs:
The exact timing varies each year based on weather conditions, temperature patterns, and rainfall. Spring startup typically begins when:
We continue service in the fall until growth significantly slows, typically after several hard frosts. Our final mowing of the season is usually set at a slightly lower height to prepare your lawn for winter.
Our spring cleanup service prepares your lawn and landscape for the growing season by removing winter debris and damage. This comprehensive service includes:
Spring cleanups are typically performed in March and April, depending on weather conditions. This service gives your property a clean slate for the growing season and helps identify any winter damage that may need attention.
We recommend scheduling your spring cleanup early, as this service is in high demand at the beginning of the season.
Our fall cleanup service prepares your property for winter by removing leaves and debris before snow arrives. This service includes:
Fall cleanups are typically performed in October and November. The service can be done as a one-time visit or split into multiple visits depending on your property's tree coverage and leaf drop pattern.
A proper fall cleanup prevents leaf mat damage to your lawn, reduces spring cleanup needs, and helps prevent winter pest and disease issues.
Yes, The Little Lawn Co. offers residential snow removal services during winter months. Our snow services include:
We offer both seasonal contracts and per-visit service options. Seasonal contracts provide the best value and guarantee priority service during major snow events.
Our snow removal service typically begins after accumulations of 2 inches or more, and we aim to clear properties within 24 hours of the end of snowfall, with priority customers serviced first.
Space for our snow removal service is limited, so we recommend signing up early before winter begins. Current lawn maintenance customers receive priority for winter snow removal spots.
