The Saturday Math
What a year of doing it yourself actually costs.
Not in dollars. In Saturdays. Here's the arithmetic most homeowners never run.
0Mowing weeks a yearA Hampton Roads growing season runs roughly late March into November. That's about thirty cuts if you never skip one.
0hrsPer weekend, average yardMow, trim, edge, blow the driveway, bag the clippings, clean the deck, put it all away, wash up.
0Hours handed backNearly two full work weeks a year — plus the mulch weekend, the aeration rental, and the fall cleanup you keep postponing.
Add the mower payment, the string trimmer, gas, blades, the trip to the dump —
and the two Saturdays a year you lose to mulch alone. See the real cost breakdown
What we do
Five programs. One crew that shows up.
Most customers start with the year-round package and never think about their yard again. The rest is there when the property needs more than a mow.

Commercial Grounds
Restaurants, apartment communities, hotels and office parks. Mowing and edging on a fixed schedule, plus aeration, fertilization, weed control, irrigation checks and pest control — so the first thing your customer sees is the right thing.
Shrubs shaped to their own bloom cycle instead of sheared on a schedule — because an azalea cut in March is an azalea that won't flower. Plus winter cutbacks, bed edging and full debris haul-off.
Tiff Way Bermuda, Zoysia and Fescue, installed on a nine-step process — kill off what's there, grade, amend the soil, lay tight, roll it in. A finished lawn in a single day, then a watering schedule you actually follow.
Open French drains that collect saturated ground, enclosed solid-pipe systems that move water from a downspout or sump to a safe outlet, plus swales, grading and permeable pavers.
The reason most Hampton Roads yards struggle is timing — pre-emergent goes down two weeks
late, aeration never happens, and by June the crabgrass has already won. Here's what we're
doing on your property in each season, and why.
SpringMarch – May
The season that decides your summer.
Almost every weed problem people call us about in July was won or lost in March. Spring is front-loaded on purpose.
01Pre-emergent, on timeApplied with the spring mulch before soil temperatures hit the mid-fifties — the window when crabgrass germinates in coastal Virginia. Two weeks late and it does nothing.
02Fresh mulch and bed weedingBeds get cleaned out, edged and topped. Mulch holds moisture through the July heat and keeps the beds from reseeding themselves with weeds.
03Weekly mowing beginsOnce growth kicks in, we shift to your fixed weekly day — mow, trim, edge, blow off every hard surface before we leave.
04Shrubs shaped upBushes trimmed back into shape after the winter, before they put on new growth.
Hold the line through the heat.
Hampton Roads summers are hot, humid and hard on turf. Summer is about not losing ground — cutting high, cutting clean, and staying on schedule through the storms.
01Mow high, mow sharpBlade height goes up so the canopy shades its own root zone and holds moisture. Sharp blades, because a torn blade tip browns out and invites disease.
02Weekly, rain or shineLight rain doesn't stop us. We stay off saturated turf so we don't rut your yard, and pick your day back up as soon as it dries.
03Edges and hard surfacesBeds, walks and driveway edges stay crisp all season — the detail that makes a yard read as maintained from the street.
04Watering guidanceThree to four deep waterings a week in summer, early morning. We'll tell you when to back off after a storm week.
The most important six weeks of the year.
If you have a fescue lawn in Hampton Roads, fall is when it's actually built. Everything else is maintenance.
01Core aerationPlugs pulled out of compacted clay so air, water and seed reach the root zone. Coastal Virginia soil compacts hard — this is not optional for fescue.
02OverseedingSeed goes down straight into the aeration holes while soil is still warm and nights are cooling — the single best germination window of the year.
03Leaf and debris cleanupLeaves come off before they mat down and smother the new grass. This runs through the drop, not once at the end.
04Winter cutbacksPerennials cut back and beds put to bed so spring starts clean instead of starting behind.
The months your neighbors' service disappears.
This is the difference between a monthly program and a mowing subscription. Your rate doesn't change, and neither does the fact that we still show up.
01Bi-weekly or as-needed visitsGrowth slows, so the visit pattern changes — but debris, storm drop and bed maintenance don't stop.
02Storm and wind cleanupNor'easters put branches and leaf drift across yards all winter. It gets handled on your regular visit.
03Dormant pruningThe right time to shape most shrubs and small ornamentals is while they're dormant, not in May.
04Flat rate, no seasonal spikeYou pay the same in January as in July. Your March mulch and pre-emergent are already covered when the season turns.
How it works
Four steps, then you stop thinking about it.
No pressure, no long consultation, no contract to sign. We look at your property, quote a
flat monthly number, and start.
Call, or send the form. Address, rough lot size, and anything that matters — a gate, a dog, a slope, a drainage problem you've been living with.
We come look at it
Free, no obligation, and you don't need to be there. We measure, look at your turf type and soil, and price it honestly.
You get one flat monthly number
Everything in the program, one rate, billed the same every month. Four consecutive mowing visits to start; no annual contract after that.
We take the day
You're assigned a fixed weekly service day based on your neighborhood's route. You don't need to be home. You don't need to remember anything.

“I couldn't be happier with the service from Extra Mile Lawn Care! They truly live up to their name. My lawn has never looked better. It's consistently manicured, striped perfectly, and they always make sure the sidewalks and driveways are [clean].”

“Had to go on a deployment and couldn't mow the grass obviously so I called them up and they came out that week. They trimmed all my weeds and bushes along with making my lawn look amazing! I have been using them for almost a year now.”

“Garrison and the crew were fast and efficient! He took the time to explain the process and what we needed to do to care for the sod. We are very pleased with our new lawn!”

Service areas
Three cities. Fixed weekly routes.
We run out of our shop at 1943 Elbow Road in Chesapeake and route by neighborhood —
which is why your service day is the same week after week. Each city has its own soil,
canopy and turf problems, so pick yours and we'll tell you what actually matters there.

Lawn care in Chesapeake
Our shop is on Elbow Road, so Chesapeake is where every route starts. Our densest coverage and our shortest response times.
Neighborhoods we routeGreat Bridge · Greenbrier · Grassfield · Western Branch · Hickory · Deep Creek · South Norfolk
Coverage here is really about routing, not distance. If your street sits near an existing route, adding you is easy — if it doesn't, we'll tell you straight rather than promise a service day we can't hold.
Our monthly full-service package costs meaningfully less than buying each of those services à la carte through the year. You pay one fixed amount every month — the same in July when we're there weekly as in January when we're not — so the cost is predictable and there are no surprise invoices after a big cleanup or mulch drop.
No — we can't accommodate one-time mow requests. Starting service requires a minimum commitment of four consecutive mowing visits, but there's no annual contract. The program is built around caring for a lawn continuously, which is what actually produces a healthy lawn.
No. Our crews run a set route, respect your property, and complete the work efficiently whether you're there or not. Most of our customers are at work when we come through.
Your lawn is serviced on the same day each week, determined by the neighborhoods our crews are routed through. The time of day can shift depending on the route, but the day stays consistent so you always know when to expect us.
Light rain doesn't stop us — we mow through it. We avoid excessively wet conditions because mowing saturated turf rips roots and leaves ruts. When we hold off for weather, your lawn picks back up on its regular schedule as soon as conditions allow.
In spring and fall, water about twice per week. In summer, increase to three or four times per week. Adjust down after heavy rain — coastal Virginia can deliver a week's worth of water in one afternoon storm. Water deeply and early in the morning rather than lightly and often.
Tell us the address. We'll look at the property, quote one flat monthly rate, and you'll know exactly what it costs to never think about your yard again.
