Definition of acreage mowing.
Acreage mowing refers to the process of maintaining large areas of land, typically one acre or more, by cutting the grass or vegetation. It’s commonly done on properties such as farms, ranches, and large residential lots. However, it may be referred to as some other name, depending upon the nature of the mowing assignment.
Different types of lot mowing.
Remember, the definition of acreage mowing is a mowing job over one acre in size. With that in mind, cemetery mowing would be included, as would pipeline mowing, ranch mowing, farm mowing, road right-of-way mowing, big industrial complexes, baseball field grass mowing, airport mowing, etc. Please note, and we will discuss this in the next section, each of these jobs requires a certain skill set, and each of those jobs is different from the others. We mention this because the nature of the job will most definitely affect the price quote you receive.
What to look for in a mowing company.
What to look for? Expertise and experience, first and foremost. Baseball field mowing is much different from ranch mowing. It requires different equipment, and it requires knowledge about grass height and optimum grass height. Mowing in a cemetery requires the skill set to mow around tombstones without causing damage. Mowing along a highway is much more difficult than HOA services in an HOA playground.
Why do we mention the obvious? Because you will want a mowing company with specific experience in the type of mowing you require. As much as it pains us to say this, there are quite a few mowing companies out there claiming to be experts in all manner of mowing; sadly, they are not.
