Lawn Mowing Franklin, MA

How you mow a lawn decides how it looks

Looking for lawn mowing in Franklin, MA? Ten Four Landscape & Construction has handled it for homeowners, business owners and property managers across Norfolk County since 2012. Our Wrentham yard is also about fifteen minutes away.

Lawn mowing sounds simple, and that is exactly why so many crews do it badly. Cutting too short, using dull blades, running the same tracks every week and mowing a wet lawn all do damage. Those are the four fastest ways to turn a decent lawn into a thin, weedy one. Franklin homeowners have relied on us as their local landscaper for years. So we bring that same approach to every lawn mowing job in town.

We mow on a weekly schedule at a height that changes with the season. It is taller in summer heat to shade the soil and keep the roots deep, and shorter for the first and last cuts. We sharpen blades constantly so the mower cuts the grass instead of tearing it. Every visit includes string trimming around beds, fences and hardscape and a full blow-off of walks, patio and driveway, so the property looks finished when we pull away.

Why Franklin, MA homeowners call Ten Four for Lawn Mowing

Franklin is the largest of the towns we serve and one where we do a great deal of work. That work runs from the neighborhoods around downtown and Dean College to the subdivisions off Route 140, Lincoln Street and Pleasant Street. It is a mix of older homes near Main Street, dense 1990s and 2000s developments with tight setbacks, and condominium communities that need reliable grounds care. We also handle commercial properties in the industrial parks near Interstate 495 and Forge Park.

Soils in Franklin change block by block. Much of the town is glacial till with plenty of stone, while the low ground near Mine Brook, Uncas Pond and the Charles River holds water and stays soft. Heavy clay pockets are common in the newer subdivisions where builders stripped the topsoil during construction. That is why so many Franklin lawns struggle with compaction, moss and standing water until someone actually corrects the soil instead of covering it up.

Lawn Mowing benefits for Franklin, MA properties

• A thicker, greener lawn simply from a correct cut
• Fewer weeds because taller grass shades them out
• Clean edges and blown-off hardscape every week
• One less weekend chore, every week, all season
• Problems spotted early by someone who sees the lawn weekly

Problems we fix most often

Most people in Franklin call us about lawn mowing because something has already gone wrong. Others, meanwhile, want to make sure it never does. In short, these are the issues we see most often. Every one of them is also preventable when we do the work right the first time:

• Grass cut too short and burned out by mid-July
• Dull blades that shred the grass tips and leave the lawn looking brown
• The mowing service skips a week and the lawn goes to seed
• Ruts and clumps from mowing a soaked lawn
• Trimming skipped, so the edges around beds and fences grow wild
• A different crew every week with no idea where the sprinkler heads are

What’s included

• Weekly mowing at a seasonal height
• String trimming around every edge, bed and obstacle
• Blowing off all walks, patios and driveways
• Bagging or mulching clippings as the lawn needs
• Alternating mowing patterns to prevent ruts
• A consistent day and a consistent crew

Above all, every one of those items is part of the price we quote, not an upsell. When we scope lawn mowing for a Franklin property, we spell out exactly what you get. So there are no surprises on the invoice, and no corners cut where you cannot see them.
