Mowing is maintenance
Routine mowing assumes the lawn is already in a manageable state.
It usually includes edging, trimming, and blowing clippings.
Cleanup is a reset
Cleanup handles tall growth, leaves, limbs, and debris, and often takes longer.
Hauling may be needed, which is subject to contractor availability.
Which should you request?
If the grass is well above normal height or there is debris in the yard, request cleanup first.
Then set a mowing schedule to keep it that way.
