I am in the st louis area, and i usualy start around the last week of march and go until around halloween on grass. and to about the middle of december on leaves. wich works out to around 29 or 30 weeks on grass. add the leaves in and i go about 36 weeks.

15 years ago most contracts read 28-31 cuts per year. 5 years ago when i broke off on my own a began putting "eprox 31". This year i got 36 cuts on some of my premium residentials. I had to manage my cuts towards the end of the year to avoid sticking extra cuts on the rest of my clients. I will evaluate after next year if i should increase my stated cuts for 2004. I have noticed cuts increasing for about 10 years now.

If its a heavy rain year we can get 32 no prob.
If its a reg year we get 26-28 depending on clients.
If its a really dry year we get 24-26 depending on clients.
