Phillips Care Landscaping · Warren, OH

Phillips Care Landscaping provides landscaping in Cortland, Ohio: weekly lawn mowing and edging, mulch, hedge trimming, leaf cleanup and snow plowing. Our crew is based in Warren, about 8 miles south. We drive up Elm Road to South High Street (State Route 5), roughly a 15 minute trip to the center of town. Cortland sits on the east shore of Mosquito Creek Lake, mostly inside northeastern Bazetta Township in Trumbull County. We have no Cortland office. Quotes are free. Call or text (330) 353-9809.

Lawn Care in Cortland, Ohio

Cortland is a small city, about 7,100 people on a little over 4 square miles, so once your street is on our weekly route the drive from Warren stays short and the day stays set. Each visit the lawn is properly mowed and edged along the driveway, walks, curb and beds. We look at your yard before we quote, because a corner lot on High Street and a back lot by the Willow Park trails do not need the same thing. Mowing and mulch demand in the area peaks in April and May, so Cortland homeowners who want a fixed mowing day should call over the winter. See weekly lawn mowing.

What Cortland's Brush Pickup Takes, and What It Leaves to You

The City of Cortland Service Department runs curbside brush pickup from April through October, during the week of the fourth Monday of each month. Under the 2026 policy the city makes one pass per street and takes one pile per household. Here is what that means when you trim:

Branches and limbs only, trimmed and root-free. No ornamental grasses, thorns, firewood, logs or whole trees
Pieces up to 8 feet long and 3 inches across
One pile no bigger than 8 feet long, 6 feet wide and 4 feet high, cut ends facing the street
At the curb by the Sunday before the pickup week
2026 weeks: April 27, May 25, June 22, July 27, August 24, September 28 and October 26

Private roads are left off the route, including Eagle Pointe Drive, Hawks Landing, Tournament Trail, Woodland Trace, Creekside Commons Drive and Bayview Circle. Leaves and grass clippings are not on the brush list either. When we do hedge and shrub trimming, we can time it before a pickup week and stack the branches the way the city asks. On private roads, or when the pile would be too big, we can haul the trimmings away instead.

For fall, our leaf removal and fall cleanup clears lawns and beds before the leaves mat down for winter.

Snow Removal in Cortland

Cortland's winters match the rest of the Valley. NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normal at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport is 67.8 inches of snow a season, and January is the snowiest month. The city's Service Department looks after the streets. Your driveway and walks are yours, and that matters most on long drives off State Route 5 and State Route 46 (North Mecca Street).

Landscaping in Cortland: Beds and Mulch

Our landscaping in Cortland covers bed building and refreshing, planting shrubs and flowers, and keeping existing landscaping maintained through the season. The city calendar gives spring a useful order. Book a spring cleanup and shrub shaping in early April, put the cut branches out for the April 27 pickup week, then finish with fresh mulch installation and clean bed edges. The result is the same on every job: your landscaping is neat and just the way you want it. See landscaping services.

How Pricing Works for Landscaping in Cortland

Every quote is free and built on your property. Mowing depends on lawn size, slopes, obstacles and how much edging there is. Mulch depends on bed count and the weeding and edging first. Hedge work depends on how many shrubs, how overgrown, and whether the branches go to the curb or get hauled. Snow depends on driveway length and the walks you want cleared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you serve Cortland if you are based in Warren?

Yes. Our crew is based in Warren, about 8 miles south of Cortland, and the drive up Elm Road to South High Street takes around 15 minutes. We do not have a Cortland office and will not pretend to. You get the same locally owned crew and detail-focused work our Warren customers get, from weekly mowing to snow plowing. Call or text for a free quote and tell us your street.

Will the City of Cortland pick up my hedge trimmings?

Branches and limbs, yes, within limits. Under the 2026 policy the city collects brush from April through October during the week of the fourth Monday of each month. Pieces can be up to 8 feet long and 3 inches across, in one pile per household no bigger than 8 by 6 by 4 feet, at the curb by the Sunday before. Ornamental grasses and thorns are not taken. We can time your trimming to a pickup week.

I live on a private road in Cortland. Does brush pickup come to me?

Not under the city's 2026 policy. It lists private roads that are not included, such as Eagle Pointe Drive, Hawks Landing, Tournament Trail, Woodland Trace, Creekside Commons Drive, Bayview Circle and Golf Drive. If you live on one of them, ask us about trimming with the branches hauled away, so nothing sits at the end of your drive. For questions about the policy itself, the city lists (330) 637-3011.

Do you plow driveways in Cortland?

Yes. We plow driveways and clear walks for Cortland homes, including long drives off State Route 5 and State Route 46. The normal snowfall at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport is 67.8 inches a season, with January the snowiest month, and snow searches in the area peak in January. Get on our plow list before the first big storm. Quotes are free and based on your driveway.

How much does lawn care cost in Cortland?

It depends on the yard. Mowing is priced on lawn size, slopes, obstacles, how much trimming and edging there is and how often we come. A tight lot near Pearl Park and a wide wooded lot by the lake price differently. We look at your property, or the photos you text us, and give you a clear price before any work starts. Quotes are always free.

When should I book spring landscaping in Cortland?

Over the winter. Mowing and mulch demand in the area peaks in April and May, and that is when mowing days and mulch dates fill. Booking in January, February or March lets us do your spring cleanup and shrub shaping early in April, so the branches can go out for the city's April 27 brush week, and then lay fresh mulch on clean beds.
