Weekly Mowing Updates

UPDATED SUNDAY, MAY 12

The previous week: WEEK OF MAY 6TH - this week fell behind early on when we did receive some rainy weather. Once that weather cleared, we did slowly catch up and by the end of the that week and by the end of Friday, May 10th, all lawns were mowed before the weekend of 5/11 & 5/12.

**Remember, the week of April 29th, we finished spring clean ups during the first half of that week, then we started our weekly mowing the 2nd half of that week.

As of the end of May 10th (Friday), some of you have been mowed 2x this season, and some of you have been mowed 1x.

WEEK OF MAY 13TH PLAN? We will continue with our regular mow scheduling for the week of May 13th (no special plans). From year to year, we do make some schedule changes, and also with training new CNR team members, it does make for our schedule to be a bit more inconsistent even without weather problems. Please give us some time to train and get used to this season’s schedule. It appears that most of the week of 5/13 look to be pretty good with weather, except for maybe later on Wednesday, 5/15 and into very early Thursday 5/16 - this time frame could cause some sort of weather hiccup with normal scheduling.

UPDATED FRIDAY, MAY 3:

See the last update to review some important info leading up to this current update. Please scroll further down for that.

C N’R mow teams started regularly cutting lawns on Wednesday, May 1st. We were shut down due to rain on Thursday May 2nd. And on Friday, May 3rd, we finished the rest of the lawns for that week. If you are a regular scheduled “wednesday, thursday, friday” mowing customer, you were either mowed this first “half week” or we came to your property and your lawn was not ready to be mowed yet (did not need it), so we skipped your property at that point. You were at least mowed or checked on, and if we skipped it, it will get mowed the following week of May 6th.

If you are a regular mowing customer that is scheduled for Monday or Tuesday, your first mow will likely be the week of May 6th, unless we come by your property and it absolutely does not quite need to be mowed yet. Then we will pick up on regular mowing the following week of May 13th.

Anyways, we do plan to do our first full week of mowing during the week of May 6, but there could be some that we decide that do not need mowing, but most or all will get mowed. And as far as staying on schedule for the week of May 6th all depends on what type of weather Mother Nature throws our way with any rain delays.

Please EMAIL CRAIG if you have any further questions.

UPDATED SUNDAY, APRIL 28:

As we have noted during the past couple of updates, it is always a good thing to scroll down and read a previous update before reading the latest update we have posted. It helps with some history leading up to this point.

At the time of this update, we are still fully working on Spring Clean-ups and lawn de-thatching. The week of 4/29, we are anticipating on it going like this:

Monday, 4/29: Too wet in the morning to work on spring clean-up. Likely go out during the afternoon to get a couple properties done.

Tuesday, 4/30: We plan to get right out early in the morning and hopefully finish the rest of spring clean ups and lawn de-thatching before the forecasted rain comes in during the afternoon of this day?

Wednesday, 5/1: Start working on weekly mowing (likely a wet/damp start). We will focus on “Wednesday scheduled lawns”.

Thursday, 5/2: Continue our mowing schedule, finish up any Wednesday lawns, and then start working on regular “Thursday scheduled lawns”.

Friday, 5/3: Continue our mowing schedule, finish up any Thursday lawns that were not completed, then work on and finish “Friday scheduled lawns”.

**if any further rain delays occur, this will disrupt the current plan.

WEEK OF 5/6: This will be our first FULL week of mowing because we will be able to complete “Monday” & “Tuesday” scheduled lawns.

GENERALLY SPEAKING: The week of 4/29, some but not all lawns will get mowed. The week of 5/6, we will plan on completing our regular schedule for mowing all lawns Monday thru Friday (weather pending).

If you have further questions, please EMAIL CRAIG.

UPDATED THURSDAY, APRIL 18

If you click over to our “spring clean up” progress update section and read the update dated “thursday, april 18” - you can catch up on what has gone on weather-wise since late March. If you are a CNR snowbird customer just coming back to MN, knowing what has been going on is important. Why? Well, it explains that early warmth and wetness causes other delays which will cause delays in the start of our mowing season. C N’R will not be able to start the weekly mowing process until our spring clean process has been complete. Again, if you click over to that particular spring clean update, you will read that the week of April 29th will likely be a transition week from spring clean ups to weekly mowing services. And referring back to "warmer conditions earlier this season and then all this moisture", this is greening things up fast and growing will start to occur. The problem that this causes is longer growing lawns before C N’R can arrive to provide the first cut. Weekly mowing customers that are signed up for spring clean up - if your clean up occurs later in April, you will get a lawn mowing where our spring clean up vac systems can get to. If you are a weekly mowing customer and not a spring clean up customer, your first mow may be during the week of April 29th, or your first mow may end up being the week of May 6th. There is not a lot we can do with this process as all our lawn mowers have spring bagging systems installed until we are fully completed with spring clean ups and lawn de-thatching. If you end up being a customer with a longer lawn at the end of April or early May, please have patience. We (CNR) will know this is going on and we are going to try and get things on schedule as fast as we can during the transitional period of time, but with also using common sense within our industry.

If you have any further questions about this, please EMAIL CRAIG.

UPDATED TUESDAY, APRIL 9:

Feel free to read the past couple of updates below for more information leading up to now. But, we wanted to just provide a quick update on our weekly mowing services. With recent rains, and warmth on the way, grass will start greening up pretty quickly, then start growing from there. But, as of April 9th, we have not even started our spring clean up and lawn de-thatching schedule yet. Once our spring services are completed, then we will be starting our weekly mowing schedules which will likely be the first part of May, give or take. Too early to be specific at this time. If you are on our spring clean up schedule, as grass starts growing, you will be mowed with the clean up, but for those that are not on that schedule will not start to get mowed until spring clean ups are finished up. We will keep you posted.

For potential NEW weekly mowing customers looking for an estimate, we ask you to go to FREE ESTIMATES  to submit your request. We can take care of you from there!

Early April Update:

Scroll down to our “March 3rd” update below. Things have changed a bit since that update because we did receive 10-15 inches of snow later in March. For starting some services will be directly affected by that snowfall because we were heading towards an early start before then. But, in general, for specifically weekly mowing, this service usually starts to take place toward the end of April or early May. So, at this time it is too early to talk too much about any type of progress update. What is more important is for our current customer and even new customers to get signed on for the season for “weekly mowing”. To do this, we invite you to click over to our FREE ESTIMATES page and submit your request. We will be happy to help. As we get past mid-April, we are thinking some services will likely be starting and as we know more about our start week for our mowing service, we will also post another update.

UPDATED MARCH 3RD, 2024:

We have had a quiet winter as we all know, so C N’R has had time to get lawn mowers ready for the summer cutting season ahead. With the predicted early spring this season (finally) - knock on wood - of course our weekly mowing services could end up starting a bit early, but at the time of this update - way too early to be talking about start times. Usually on normal (average) seasons, we start our weekly mowing service during the end of April. At this point, the most important thing to do is to make sure you are signed up for the season if you are a current customer. If you are a NEW customer reading this, please go to FREE ESTIMATES and submit your request for mowing services. We will be glad to help. Stay tuned for later updates!
