Upstate lawns are not all the same grass. Clemson Extension writes care guides for bermudagrass, centipede and zoysia in the sun, and calls tall fescue a popular grass in the upper Piedmont and mountains of South Carolina. Each one wants a different cut. Clemson's mowing chart puts common bermudagrass at 1 to 2 inches, centipede at 1 1/2 to 2, zoysia at 1 to 2, and tall fescue at 3 to 3 1/2 inches in summer. Set the deck for the wrong grass and the lawn pays for it, so we check what you have before the first cut.
One rule from Clemson covers every one of those grasses: take off no more than a third of the blade at a single mowing. That is why the schedule matters as much as the height. Once bermudagrass and centipede green up, which Clemson says can be as late as mid-May inland, the season is on, and a missed visit means either scalping the lawn or leaving it shaggy. Clemson also says to mow with a sharp blade. A dull one tears the leaf tips, turns them brown and leaves the grass weaker against disease and insects.
Clippings stay on the lawn. Clemson's tall fescue calendar calls it grass-cycling and says clippings break down quickly and do not add to thatch, and its mowing guide notes they carry nitrogen back into the soil. We blow them off the driveway, walks and porch steps so nothing gets tracked inside. The height moves with the conditions too. Clemson's calendars say to raise it on bermudagrass and centipede during heat or drought, and grass under trees does better cut a half inch to an inch higher than normal.

It depends on the grass. Clemson Extension puts centipede at 1 1/2 to 2 inches, common bermudagrass and zoysia at 1 to 2, and tall fescue at 3 to 3 1/2 inches in summer. If your yard has one grass in the sun and another in the shade, we set the height for each part instead of cutting it all the same.
Often enough that no single cut takes more than a third of the blade, which is Clemson's rule for every lawn grass. In the main growing season that usually means a weekly or every-other-week visit, and we stretch it out when growth slows down. Call (864) 540-5167 and we will set a schedule that fits your yard.
Usually not. Clemson Extension recommends leaving clippings on the lawn, where they break down quickly, return nitrogen and do not build up thatch. The exception is early spring on bermudagrass and centipede, when Clemson suggests bagging or raking up the dead winter material. Either way, we blow clippings off every hard surface before we leave.

Your call. We haul it away, or we mulch it back into the yard, whichever you prefer. Just tell us when we set up the job.
All three. We spread dark mulch, lay pine straw on slopes and around trees, and build river rock beds along walkways and under carports. You can see each of them in our photos.
Yes. We till the bed, dig the holes and set the plants in, right down to your flowers. Tell us what you have when you call and we will plan where it all goes.
