Home/Services/Vacation Yard Care in Guelph

Vacation Yard Care in Guelph

Two weeks at the cottage shouldn’t come home to a hayfield. We keep your yard looking lived-in while you’re away.

An overgrown lawn is the loudest "nobody’s home" signal a house can send — and after two or three weeks of summer growth, that first cut back is a scalping waiting to happen. Our vacation coverage keeps the property cut, trimmed and tidy on schedule, so your home looks occupied and your lawn never falls behind.

Coverage is flexible: a single cut while you’re at the cottage, or scheduled visits across a month-long trip. You tell us the dates; we handle the rest and invoice you when you’re back.

What's Included

✓Full mowing visits — cut, trim, edge and blowdown, same as our weekly clients get

✓Flexible scheduling around your travel dates

✓A lived-in look: tidy lawn and clean walks the whole time you’re gone

✓Easy handoff — most clients never need to be home at all

✓Simple invoicing by email when you return

💡 Pro tip: Booking your vacation cuts a couple of weeks ahead guarantees route space in July and August — our busiest months for exactly this service.

Why not just let it grow?

Beyond the security signal, there’s a lawn-health cost: cutting three weeks of growth in one pass violates the one-third rule badly, shocking the lawn right in the hottest part of the season. Keeping the cut cycle going while you travel means you come home to a lawn that looks like you never left — not one that needs a month to recover.

And if you come back to more than just long grass — overflowing beds, weeds, a missed cleanup — we’re a full-property crew. One call catches the whole yard back up.

Common Questions

How far ahead should I book vacation lawn care?

A week or two ahead is usually plenty; more in peak July–August. Existing mowing clients just tell us their dates — coverage is automatic.

What if it doesn’t grow while I’m away?

Then we skip and you don’t pay. We already run skip-and-credit on our weekly routes during dry spells — the same rule applies to vacation coverage.

Do you need a key or garage code?

No — just gate access to the areas we’re maintaining. If the backyard is locked, leave the gate unlocked on service days or give us the combo.

What does vacation yard care cost in Guelph?

The same per-cut pricing as regular service — from $40 per cut including trimming, edging and blowdown. No vacation premium.
