Roberto's Lawn Care & Land Scaping — FAQ

Question 1

How often does the lawn get cut?

Accepted Answer

Weekly during peak growth (May through mid-July) and every 7–10 days the rest of the season, dialed back at the dry stretch in late summer. Standing customers get a predictable cadence rather than a flat schedule — visits move a day or two when the weather or route warrants it, and Roberto texts the night before so nobody is guessing.

Question 2

What's included in a routine visit?

Accepted Answer

Mowing at a height matched to the grass type, string-trimming around fences, beds, foundations, and tight corners, hard edging along walks and drives, and blow-off of clippings from hardscape. Bagging is optional and quoted per visit; the standard cut mulches the clippings back into the lawn, which is what most Mid-Missouri yards prefer through the growing season.

Question 3

What happens to my visit when it rains or we hit a dry stretch?

Accepted Answer

Wet cuts leave ruts and tear the grass rather than shear it, so visits shift forward when the yard is soaked — a passing thunderstorm rarely costs more than a day, and a multi-day rain pushes the visit to the next dry opening. In a mid-summer drought the lawn goes dormant and Roberto stretches the cadence to every 10–14 days so the cut stresses things further. Standing customers are rescheduled in either case without a phone call.

Question 4

When should I book spring and fall cleanups?

Accepted Answer

Spring cleanups land best in mid-March once the ground firms up and the first round of growth shows itself — too early and you end up re-doing the same beds in a few weeks. Fall cleanups run mid-October through late November, paced around leaf drop and a final cut before the first hard frost. Reach out a couple of weeks ahead and a slot gets held.

Question 5

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Venmo, Zelle, and good-old check are the everyday options — all three settle the same day with no fees on either side. Cash works fine for one-off jobs. Card payment is available on request; just let Roberto know at quote time so it can be set up.

Question 6

What's the cancellation or rescheduling policy?

Accepted Answer

Standing customers can skip or move a visit with a quick text the day before — no charge for reschedules with reasonable notice. Same-day skips are billed a half-visit because the route was already built around that stop. One-off cleanups and project work ask for 48 hours when possible.

Question 7

What equipment does Roberto use?

Accepted Answer

Commercial-grade walk-behind mowers sized to residential gates (no ride-on bouncing over beds), a dedicated string trimmer, a stick edger for hard lines, and backpack blowers for cleanup. Sharp blades get swapped on a schedule rather than waiting until they tear the grass.

Question 8

What's the smallest job you'll take, and do single visits work?

Accepted Answer

Yes to single visits — a one-time mow, an overgrown-yard reset, or a season-end cleanup all work. The smallest practical job is roughly a quarter-hour of actual work, which keeps the route efficient; anything smaller is usually better folded into a standing plan or a neighbor pairing on the same block.
