My builder just laid sod. When should mowing start?

Usually two to three weeks after install, once it has rooted enough that a corner does not lift when you tug it. We cut high the first few months, because scalping fresh sod over compacted fill is the fastest way to lose it.

Do you cover the new neighborhoods off Highway 16 and CR-315?

Yes, and there is no travel fee. Those areas are on the same Clay County routes as the rest of Green Cove Springs.

Can you handle an older downtown lot with big oaks?

Yes. Those get a raised deck, regular debris blow-off, and a straight answer about which shaded areas are better off as mulched beds than as turf you keep replacing.

Do you mow vacant lots?

Yes. Vacant and overgrown lots are quoted as a one-time knock-down, then can move onto a recurring schedule if you want it kept down.

Freshly mowed front lawn at a home in Green Cove Springs, Florida — Weekly maintenance on a Green Cove Springs frontage

Green Cove Springs runs two ways at once: century-old riverfront homes downtown, and brand-new construction pushing south and west off Highway 17. Unleashed Cuts LLC mows both, and prices them differently, because a settled 1920s yard and a six-month-old sod lawn need almost nothing in common.

Unleashed Cuts LLC is a licensed and insured lawn care company serving Green Cove Springs, FL. Services include weekly and bi-weekly mowing, new-construction lawn establishment, sod, mulching, hedge trimming, lot cleanups, and pressure washing. Estimates are free.

Two Very Different Kinds of Yard in One Town

New-construction lawns are fragile for a year

A builder-installed sod lawn over compacted fill is not a finished lawn. It roots shallow, dries out at the seams, and scalps on every high spot the grader left behind. For the first year we mow high, avoid tight turns on the same line every visit, and point out where the seams are separating before they open into bare strips.

Older riverfront lots have real trees and real shade

Downtown and along the St. Johns, the lots are older, the oaks are bigger, and the turf under them is thinner. Those yards need a raised deck, honest bed lines where grass will not hold, and consistent debris blow-off. It is closer to Orange Park work than to anything happening in the new subdivisions.

River humidity shows up on concrete

Proximity to the water keeps everything damp longer here, and north-facing drives, walks, and slabs green over faster than they do inland. Pressure washing on a maintenance day is usually the cheapest visible upgrade available on an older Green Cove Springs property.
