The Problem & Our Fix
What most lawn mowing providers get wrong — and how TotalGuard operates differently.
The Industry Standard
The TotalGuard Standard
What's Included — Every Visit
Every mowing visit includes the complete package — no hidden fees or extras to add on.
Professional Mowing at Optimal 3-3.5" Height
Cut height calibrated to Wisconsin fescue/bluegrass blends. We raise to 3.5" in July-August heat stress periods to protect roots.
Alternating Mow Patterns
We rotate direction every visit — north-south, then east-west, then diagonal. Prevents soil compaction ruts and promotes upright blade growth.
String Trimming Around ALL Obstacles
Every tree, garden bed, fence post, AC unit, mailbox, and landscape light gets precision trimmed. No missed tufts.
Hard-Edge Trimming Along Sidewalks, Driveways & Curbs
Power edger creates a clean vertical cut along every hard surface. This single detail separates professional from amateur.
Complete Clipping Cleanup
All clippings blown off driveways, sidewalks, patios, and porches. Grass stays on the lawn where it decomposes as free fertilizer.
Post-Service Text with Completion Photo
You get a text with a photo of your finished lawn after every visit. Never wonder if we came.
Same Dedicated 2-Person Crew Every Visit
Your crew learns your property — where the sprinkler heads are, which gate sticks, how you like the stripes. Consistency builds quality.
