Weekly Mowing Updates
Normally, C N’R keeps the cutting height somewhere between 2.75” & 3.00” unless a different height is specifically requested. During “hotter” times, C N’R may raise to around 3.50"
Latest Update
UPDATED THURSDAY, MAY 28:
CURRENT WEEK OF UPDATE: If you read our previous update as you scroll
down, you will see our message about this week which is a holiday week -
Memorial Day on Monday.
Our mowing teams did work a partial day on Monday (Memorial Day).
We went into Tuesday this week technically about a half day behind, or a
bit more per say.
At the time of this update (Thursday, May 28) - because we have had no
rain this week (WE NEED IT - TOO HOT TOO EARLY!) we will finish up our
schedules before the end of Friday, May 29.
WEEK OF JUNE 1ST PLANS? Nothing special, looks like a pretty dry week
with continued above normal temperatures. So, if you do not have a
sprinkler system - we suggest you water as much as possible to get your
lawn through this early heat/dry spell so you do not have a struggling
lawn the rest of the season. Odds are, Mother Nature will eventually
reward us with cooler temps and rain eventually here to even things out.
If you do have a sprinkler system, just continue running it at normally
for the most part, but raising some zone times might be needed, even
this early in the season with this weather streak we are dealing with.
Please do not water during the day which may interfere with mowing.
Water at night after midnight so that your system is done watering right
around sunrise.

Past Updates
UPDATED THURSDAY, MAY 21ST:
CURRENT WEEK OF UPDATE - Week of May 18th:
This week’s mowing schedule will end on time. It is unclear if all lawns
will be mowed by the end of Thursday, May 21st or will linger into
Friday, May 22nd. Again, no matter what, we look to be on schedule.
DO YOU SEE A LITTLE FLOWER ON TOP OF YOUR GRASS? This
is perfectly normal and healthy as your lawn is “re-seeding”. When we
mow the new seeds (flower) off, they fall into the ground and thicken
your lawn slowly but surely.
Also, during this time of the year, the grass starts to really take off.
We finally received another couple bouts of decent rains and the grass
growth is picking up quite a bit. At this time, we are now mowing at
normal height, and if you feel your grass is too long a few days later
after we cut it, that is also a normal thing for the spring time. It is
the growing season and included in the growing season is grass. This may
last a few weeks and we do not want to mow a lot lower during the
growing season just because the grass is growing faster. Wrong concept.
MEMORIAL DAY WEEK PLAN: CNR is going to be mowing on
Monday, May 25th (Memorial Day). Each season we do this, because if we
skip that day in whole and we get 1 rain day thereafter, then we are
mowing through the entire next weekend. Our focus on Memorial Day will
be commercial properties, townhomes and apartments, and some residents.
If we arrive to mow your lawn and we see you are having an event of some
sort, we will respect that and skip it and come back the next day.
Any further questions, you can
EMAIL CRAIG.
UPDATED WEDNESDAY, MAY 13:
**please scroll down for past information on past weeks in our “past
updates” section
For the week of May 11th (the time of this update) - we remain pretty
dry and our mowing schedules will run on-time this particular week or
even ahead of schedule. No rain makes it pretty easy to do that, but on
the other end of it - it is getting dry out there and we are trying to
keep our mowers at a higher level for the health of many lawns so
hopefully we do not get burned out too much. Some lawns are being
skipped here and there as well.
We understand that customers are still getting sprinklers started up and
on a regular schedule as well.
Also, good news is that it is predicted that we may get some decent
rains ahead and get into more of a stormy pattern. Forecasts are never
perfect, but we are crossing our fingers.
Speaking of wetter weather? Sunday/Monday/Tuesday (May 17, 18, 19) could
be affected by a rain storm or periodic rain/t-storms that could affect
our schedule for the first time this season during the week of May 18th.
We will provide another update mid-week-ish that week.
If you have any further questions, you can
EMAIL CRAIG.
UPDATE THURSDAY, MAY 7TH:
CURRENT WEEK (week of May 4th):
This was our first FULL week of mowing although some lawns were skipped.
All mowing for this week was finished by the end of Thursday, May 7th -
ahead of time.
If you are looking for more information of what happened the previous
week (partial week of mowing) please scroll down to the previous update.
WEEK OF MAY 11TH PLAN?
Nothing special is planned for this week as we will continue our mowing
schedule to begin the season. We will see how weather holds up for this
week. If any rain days do arise, of course this delays our progress and
sometimes mowing lawns can go into very late Friday or on a Saturday in
order to finish up.
UPDATED THURSDAY, APRIL 30:
**Scroll down to review the past couple updates for more information
On Thursday, April 30th - C N’R was able to start their weekly mowing
services since Spring Clean Ups officially ended on Wednesday, April
29th. With 2 days left for the week of 4/27, obviously we will not be
able to mow all lawns.
If you are on our weekly mowing schedule usually for Wednesday,
Thursday, or Friday any given week, these lawns will be our focus to end
the week of April 27th - which is a partial week of mowing. This does
not mean that ALL Wednesday, Thursday, Friday lawns will get mowed this
first week as all lawns do not actually need it, and also it would be
impossible to do 3 days of mowing in 2 days. But, we plan to mow the
ones mostly in need to end this first short week of mowing before we
move onto the following week.
THE WEEK OF MAY 4TH will be our official first week of C N’R executing
the full mowing schedule. Even then, there may be some lawns that do not
need to get mowed as some lawns are still slow to come in, but most will
get mowed that week and we will continue for the rest of the summer from
there!

UPDATED THURSDAY, APRIL 23RD:
**please scroll down to our previous update to get more details on how
the transitional part of the spring season goes.
At the time of this update, we are seeing some clarity in plans for
weekly mowing “kick off”.
Although this plan is not locked in, it is just what we are thinking at
this time.
Weekly mowing will likely begin in that Tuesday-Thursday timeframe,
which is April 28, 29, or 30th. When we are done with spring clean ups &
lawn de-thatching, there is about 1 day of work to transfer all our
equipment over to be prepared to start our weekly mowing service.
To sum it up, the week of April 27th looks to be our first week of
mowing, yes. But all lawns will not be mowed that week. We run a Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday schedule for weekly mowing, and
what day that week we do get started - CNR will start on that day.
Meaning, if it is Wednesday, April 29th as our first day of mowing, we
will start on “Wednesday lawns”, then do Thursday, and Friday. Then the
following week (week of May 4th) will be our first “full week” of mowing
starting on that Monday, May 4th.
If you have any further questions, please
EMAIL CRAIG.
UPDATED THURSDAY, APRIL 16TH:
What we do know about our weekly mowing service now is that it will
begin during the week of April 27th, but we do not know what day we will
be able to start that week. It fully depends on when we do finish spring
clean up and lawn de-thatching.
How does the beginning of the year work for mowing? Let’s say
(hypothetically) for the week of April 27th - we cannot start mowing
until Wednesday that week. Then we will just plan to mow all lawns that
are usually mowed on Wednesdays, Thursday, and Friday that week, and
then pick up the following Monday (May 4th) with “Monday lawns” and
continue that week as normal. This is not the exact plan, but this is
just an example. This is why we say just because we start mowing a
certain week does not mean all lawns will get mowed that first week.
In the end, we will really try to finish all cleanups by the end of the
week of April 20th, that is our goal, so we can start mowing/checking on
all or most lawns during the week of April 27th.
Stay tuned for more updates!
