Services
Lawn Mowing
Professional lawn mowing maintains optimal grass height for healthy growth. Our technicians use precision equipment to ensure clean cuts and sharp edging. Regular mowing schedules keep properties looking immaculate throughout the growing season.
Landscaping Installation
Custom landscape installation transforms outdoor spaces with plants, hardscapes, and decorative elements. Our designers create functional, aesthetically pleasing environments tailored to property specifications. Services include planting beds, walkways, and seasonal decorations.
Core Aeration
Mechanical core aeration improves soil health by reducing compaction and thatch buildup. This process allows better water, air, and nutrient penetration to grass roots. Recommended annually for optimal lawn vitality in Northern Virginia's climate.
Leaf Removal
Seasonal leaf removal prevents lawn damage from debris accumulation. Our crews use commercial equipment for complete debris clearance. Service includes blowing, raking, and hauling away organic material to maintain clean properties.

A Cut Above is fantastic. We live in a single family home and were with the company for about 8 years. The yard is beautiful, the lawn spectacular. Neighbors moving to the neighborhood often asked who we used. My husband and I are very pleased. Services: Weed control, Yard work, Grass seeding, Lawn mowing & maintenance, Mulching

12/21 the third time he has edited his response to this review, This has been reported to Yelp, please note the behavior of this person it is extremely alerting: 12/21/2021 "My name is Chris and I'm one of the owners here at A Cut Above. I don't have my own personal login so I used my partner Dave's to post this response. This person placed an order with us and said in the order form that if we couldn't come out the next day she would find someone else to do the work.
I told her that we don't accept orders that demand next day service and she flew off the deep end. She has never used our services and you can see from her other reviews that she has a history of going postal on contractors. I read through some of the reviews and was sad to see how many other businesses she's harassed. We offer annual lawn maintenance programs and are very clear up front that we need up to 72 hours to get you on the schedule after signup.

We used a cut above for a leaf clean up and they did an excellent job, at a reasonable cost. We plan to hire again in the future.

Loudest lawnservice in the area terrorizing the streets at the earliest time of the day. Many other landscaping companies does not make half the sound they do. I do not recommend this company unless you hate your neighbors.

A Cut Above is an appropriate name -- the service is top notch. The crews are polite and considerate of property and they always seem to do a little bit more than required, leaving my lawn and landscaping beautiful and neat.

Extremely reliable. Very good at communicating any weather delays. I love the clean up service they did for my place starting and ending the season. Very easy to correspond and work with. Never a problem with billing. I highly recommend them to anyone.
