Lawn Maintenance for Marshall yards
In Marshall's older, shaded neighborhoods, lawns are mostly St. Augustine, and that grass thins out fast if it's mowed like bermuda. We keep it at three and a half to four inches through summer and only take the top third of the blade at a time. Sunny lots on the edges of town are more often bermuda, cut lower in spring and fall and raised to about two inches in the heat.
Lawn maintenance is the basics done the same way every week. We mow, edge along the walks, driveway and beds, string-trim around everything the mower can't reach, and blow every hard surface clean. Clippings go back into the turf instead of into bags, where they hand a little nitrogen and moisture back to the soil.

How the job goes
Mowing season in East Texas runs from about late March through October, with weekly cuts during peak growth and every other week as it slows. In peak growing weather a lawn wants a cut every five to seven days so you only ever take the top third. Starting in spring keeps the lawn out of the scalp-and-recover cycle that wrecks it by August.
Walk the yard
We look at your grass type, the sun, the slopes and the obstacles, then send a written per-visit price, usually within a day.
Set the schedule
Most yards go weekly from late March through October and every other week as growth slows. The same crew works your yard every time.
Mow, edge, trim, blow
Every visit gets the full routine: deck set for your grass, clean edges, trimmed obstacles and hard surfaces blown off.
Adjust with the season
We raise the deck for summer heat, mulch the first fall leaves back into the lawn, and drop to every other week when the grass slows down.
Flag what we see
Thin spots, standing water or a patch that keeps browning. We tell you while it is still small and cheap to fix.

Lawn Maintenance questions in Marshall
Why does my St. Augustine keep thinning under the trees in Marshall?
Usually it isn't getting enough sun, and it's being mowed too short. St. Augustine needs four to six hours of light and should stay at three and a half to four inches in summer. Under the deepest shade, no turf holds up for long, and a shade bed or mulch is the better fix.
How much does lawn maintenance cost in Marshall, TX?
Most weekly mowing for a typical Longview yard starts at $65 per visit, billed on a recurring schedule. Larger lots, heavy tree cover or a lot of extra trimming can move that number. We walk the yard and give you a flat per-visit price in writing before the first mow, so there are no surprises on the bill.
How often should my lawn be mowed in East Texas?
Weekly from about late March through October for most yards, when bermuda and St. Augustine put on the most growth, then every other week as things slow down. In peak growing weather a lawn wants a cut every five to seven days so you never take more than a third of the blade at once. We'll recommend a schedule after we walk your yard.
What height should I mow bermuda and St. Augustine?
Bermuda can run one to one and a half inches in spring and fall, but in a July heat wave hold it around two to two and a half inches. St. Augustine should never go below three inches and wants three and a half to four through summer. Cutting St. Augustine like bermuda is one of the surest ways to open a bare patch.
More we do in Marshall
Hedge Trimming
Marshall has a lot of formal plantings around older homes, like boxwood borders, holly foundation hedges and big ligustrums along property lines.
Tree & Shrub Care
Old crepe myrtles, azaleas and camellias show up all over Marshall, and topped crepe myrtles are as common here as anywhere in East Texas.
Landscaping
Landscaping an older Marshall home usually means working with what's already there: keeping the camellias and magnolias worth saving, pulling what's overgrown or dying, and planting new beds that suit the age and style of the house.
Drainage & Grading
Marshall's sandy topsoil over red clay means rain soaks in fast and then stops, so water spreads across the yard and sits in low corners and against foundations.
Christmas Lights
Marshall already does Christmas big with the Wonderland of Lights downtown, and if you want your own house to match the season, we can handle it.
Leaf Removal
Old pecans, oaks and magnolias make for a long leaf season in Marshall, and magnolias drop leaves on and off all year.
Fertilization
Shaded Marshall lawns need a lighter hand than open bermuda, since pushing a lot of nitrogen into St. Augustine that's short on sun just grows soft grass.
Tree Planting
When an old Marshall shade tree comes down in a storm, the yard changes overnight, and beds and grass that grew up in shade suddenly get full sun.
