For those who use a lawn care service, what types of services do you expect? Ex. mowing the lawn, trimming, etc.

There is mowing generally once per week trimming, raking leaves in the fall, spraying (if the lawn owner doesn’t use a professional service), maybe planting lawns or planting bare spots, watering lawns for those gone for a week, or all summer. Sometimes thatching (dethatching).
90 % of what I do is mowing.. I suppose some want the lawn next to the sidewalk sliced off with some sort of machine.

Mowing, using a gas trimmer, and gas powered blowers are the typical day. You may do edging monthly and fertilizing seasonally. Other services like lawn repair, planting, and mulching may be possible. Businesses and apartment complexes will want you to do it all. If you want to succeed don’t shortcut like leaving weeds along a back fence or mowing over dead spots each week that could be fixed in a few minutes. Don’t forget to plan ahead for fuel costs!
