Lawn services frequency

[Mohamed Zoweil]

Hi,

I recently bought a rental property (C class duplex) in Florida, and the property manager told me we have to cut the lawn weekly during summer and twice a month during winter, because grass grow fast in Florida.

That sounds excessive, is it common?

Can't tell you anything about Florida, but even here in drought-prone Kansas, we usually have to mow every two weeks in the summer. And that certainly doesn't keep things looking golf-course spiffy, just sorta one length. So maybe they're telling you the truth. Call around to some lawn-care places & see what package deals they offer - that may shed some light on the usual mowing frequency for your area.
