My name is Muyinza, I'm the founder of Maine Lawn and Landscape, you'll see me in the field working on your yard. At home after doing numbers and scheduling I spend time with my family.

Yes. Maine Lawn & Landscape is fully insured with general liability coverage. If you'd like proof of insurance before we start, just ask and we'll send it.

Most Maine lawns benefit from leaving finely cut clippings in place because they return nutrients to the soil. We bag only when growth is unusually heavy, the grass is wet or diseased, or the clippings would smother the lawn.

We adjust mowing height for the grass and conditions, generally keeping Maine lawns around 3 to 4 inches and higher during heat or drought. We follow the one-third rule and avoid removing more than one-third of the grass blade in a single cut.

Timelines depend on the scope of work — from a few minutes to a few days depending on the scope of the job and/or redesign.

If you notice damage, contact Muyinza right away and share a photo if you can. He handles the work and will review the concern with you so the next steps are clear.

We bill after each visit and charge your card the next business day. A valid credit card is required to keep billing smooth and rates low. We accept all major cards.

Our priority service area is Southern Maine, including Greater Portland and surrounding communities. Send your property address so we can confirm route availability for your town and service. Coverage depends on the route and season.

Fence scuffs from string trimmers are common, especially on boards without bottom runners. Gate areas are most prone to wear. Contact us if you see damage so we can take a look and repair if needed.

Contact Muyinza by email, or call or text 207-747-3811. He is the owner and the person working on your yard, so you can raise a question with him directly.

No. Our mowing service is just for turf areas. Garden beds and shrubs require a separate Bush & Bed service, which we're happy to provide.

Not at all. As long as we have gate access and pets are secured, you can go about your day while we handle the lawn.

Yes. Reach out to schedule a design consult and we'll build a quote tailored to your space.

Call us within 24 hours. We'll send someone out to take a look and either fix the issue right away, come back out, or make a plan to adjust next visit.

We rarely miss days except for weather delays. In that case, we'll be out the next day. If your lawn was missed, please call us within 48 hours.

Lawn mowing starts at $65 per cut. Your exact price is set by your yard size. Written service agreement required.

Weekly and bi-weekly mowing plans include a written service agreement. Your scope, schedule, price, and cancellation terms are confirmed before work begins.

We do our best, but days are generally routed by neighborhood and zip code to ensure efficient service.

We mow in light rain when safe. If we delay for weather, we catch up the next day. We do not skip holidays. Let us know ahead of time if you'd like to pause your service.

Yes we do, unless specifically instructed not to by a client.

Please leave gates unlocked and pets secured. We recommend combo locks if you're away. We can't come back out if we can't access your yard.

Please clear the lawn of pet waste, toys, rocks, and other debris before service. These can damage equipment or become dangerous projectiles.

Your service agreement sets out cancellation and rescheduling terms. Contact Muyinza as early as possible if your plans change.

Contact us at least 24 hours ahead to skip. Your next mow will be the following scheduled day. Skipped cuts are not automatically rescheduled.

Biweekly mowing can work when growth is slow enough. During faster growth, a weekly schedule can avoid removing too much grass at once. Short clippings do not cause thatch. Read our weekly-versus-biweekly mowing guide to compare the options.
