Pricing & Quotes

How much does lawn mowing cost?

Mowing starts at $40 per cut, and that includes string-trimming, edging and a full blowdown every visit. Your exact rate depends on lawn size, obstacles and access — we confirm it in a free quote within 24 hours, usually same-day.

How do I get a quote?

Fill out the form on our quote page, call, or text (519) 731-5274. Tell us the address and what you need; we reply with a firm number within 24 hours. No site-visit dance for standard services.

Are quotes really free? What’s the catch?

Free, no obligation, no follow-up spam. We win enough of the quotes we send to be relaxed about the ones we don’t.

Service & Scheduling

What areas do you service?

All of Guelph and immediate surrounding areas — Kortright Hills, Clairfields, Westminster Woods, Hanlon Creek, Grange Hill East, Exhibition Park, St. George’s Park, Riverside Park and everywhere between. Outside Guelph? Ask; if we can’t fit you, we’ll say so straight.

When does the season start and end?

Mowing typically runs late April through late October. Spring cleanups start as soon as lawns firm up in April; fall cleanups run to the final leaf drop, usually late November. Snow removal covers the winter.

Do I get the same crew each visit?

Yes — routes are neighbourhood-based with consistent crews. A crew that knows your property doesn’t relearn the gate, the dog and the sprinkler heads every week.

What happens when it rains?

We shift the route and tell you. Cuts happen within a day or two of schedule in a wet week — with 85+ weekly properties, our routing has slack built in for Ontario weather.

What if my lawn doesn’t need cutting some week?

We skip it and you aren’t billed. Same deal if you want to skip: tell us 24 hours ahead, no charge, no hassle.

Do I need to be home during service?

No — most clients aren’t. Just make sure we can access the areas we maintain (gates unlocked on your service day).

Contracts & Payment

Do you require contracts?

Seasonal mowing clients get a locked-in rate and guaranteed route spot for the season — that’s the "contract." There’s no multi-year lock-in and no cancellation-fee games.

How does payment work?

One itemized invoice by email each month, payable by e-transfer, cash or cheque. No prepaying a season, no cash under the doormat.

When should I sign up for next season?

Before March. Routes genuinely fill — we take on a limited number of new properties each season so quality doesn’t slip, and returning clients get first claim on their spots.

The Company

Who is A Cut Above Yard Services?

A Guelph lawn care and landscaping company founded in 2020 by Connor Laskowski, who started the business at 13 with a lawn mower and a work ethic. Today we maintain 85+ properties weekly, hold a 5-star rating with 50+ five-star reviews, a 2026 Consumer Choice Award for Lawn Maintenance, and BBB registration.

What services do you offer beyond mowing?

The whole property: aeration and overseeding, fertilizing, spring and fall cleanups, mulching, weed control, trimming and edging, planting, sod, dethatching, landscaping, hardscaping coordination, commercial contracts and winter snow removal.

Why choose you over a cheaper quote?

Compare what’s included (our price covers trim, edge and blowdown), who shows up (same crew, on schedule, all season), and what happens when something goes wrong (we answer). Then compare price. The cheapest cut in April is rarely the cheapest season by October.
