Lawn Care in Howland, Ohio
Howland grew from farmland into a suburb after 1953, when the Clifton-Hyde housing development went in, and most of the township's homes now sit on subdivision lots with front lawns that face the street. Those lawns are judged from the curb, so weekly mowing here means a clean cut plus edging along the driveway, the walk and the beds. Every lawn is different, so we look at yours before we quote and set a mowing day that fits the street. Spots for April and May fill first, so Howland homeowners who want a set day should call over the winter. See weekly lawn mowing.
Leaves in Howland: What the Township Program Covers
Howland Township runs a fall leaf program, but it has limits. According to the township, Republic Services customers can set out up to 10 bags of leaves a week on their regular garbage day, in paper or plastic bags under 40 pounds, from the second week of October through the second week of December. That helps, but it leaves the hard part to you:
- Raking and bagging every leaf yourself before garbage day
- Lawns that drop far more than 10 bags a week in November
- Wet leaves packed into beds, along fences and under shrubs
- Homes that are not Republic Services customers
We clear leaves from the lawn and beds so the grass is not smothered under a wet mat all winter, and we haul the leaves away so you are not counting bags. Leaf calls peak in November. See leaf removal and fall cleanup, and book a spring cleanup for the sticks and leaves that winter leaves behind.
Snow Plowing for Howland Driveways
The NOAA normal at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, just east of Howland in Vienna Township, is 67.8 inches of snow a season, and January is the snowiest month. When the roads get cleared, the plow line often lands right across the end of the driveway, and on busy roads like East Market Street, Elm Road and Niles-Cortland Road you do not want to be backing out through a snowbank at 7 a.m.

- Snow removal from walks and front steps
- One crew for lawn, leaves and snow, all year
We also plow lots and clear sidewalks for businesses along the township's commercial roads.
Landscaping, Mulch and Hedges in Howland Township
Many Howland houses were built from the 1950s on, and the foundation shrubs planted back then are often the oldest thing in the yard. Our landscaping in Howland Township starts there: hedge and shrub trimming to bring overgrown bushes back off the windows and walks, new or refreshed flower beds, planting, and steady maintenance through the season. A fresh layer of mulch installation with cut bed edges is the quickest way to make a front yard look finished, and most people book it in April and May. The aim stays the same on every property: your landscaping is neat and just the way you want it. See landscaping services.
Howland Yards: What Changes

| Where in Howland | What takes the time | What we plan for |

| Newer subdivisions | Wide front lawns seen from the street | A set weekly mowing day and sharp edging |
| Streets near Howland Township Park | Leaf and stick drop from the park's tree line | Fall leaf removal and a spring cleanup |
| Homes on East Market St or SR 46 | Road traffic and plow piles at the driveway | A spot on the plow list before January |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Howland Township pick up leaves?
Yes, with limits. The township says Republic Services customers can put out up to 10 bags of leaves a week on their regular garbage day, in paper or plastic bags under 40 pounds, from the second week of October through the second week of December. You still rake and bag everything yourself. If your yard drops more than that, or the leaves are packed into beds, we clear the lawn and beds for you. Call for a free quote.
Which parts of Howland do you cover?

Our crew is based in Warren, about 6 miles from Howland Center, so the whole township is close. Tell us your street when you call.
Can you plow my Howland driveway after the road plow comes through?
Yes. We plow driveways and clear walks for Howland Township homes, and that includes the pile the road plow leaves at the end of the driveway. The normal snowfall at Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, just east of Howland, is 67.8 inches a season, with January the snowiest month. The best time to get on our plow list is before the first big storm. Call for a free quote based on your driveway.
How much does landscaping in Howland cost?
It depends on the property. Mowing is priced by lawn size, slopes, obstacles and how much edging there is. Mulch is priced by how many beds you have and how much prep they need. Hedge work depends on the number and size of shrubs, and snow plowing on driveway length and width. We look at your yard and give you a clear price before any work starts. Quotes are always free.
When do people in Howland start mowing?
Most Ohio lawns need their first cut in April, once the grass is growing steadily and the ground has dried out from winter. Mowing and mulch searches in our area peak in April and May, and that is when weekly spots fill up. If you want a set mowing day in Howland, call in January, February or March. A spring cleanup first clears sticks and matted leaves so the first mow is clean.
What is the 1/3 rule for mowing?
The 1/3 rule means you never cut off more than one third of the grass blade in a single mowing. Cutting more than that stresses the lawn and can leave it brown and thin. It is the main reason weekly mowing works better than waiting until the grass is tall, especially in May and June when it grows fastest. Every lawn is different, so we set the height and the schedule to fit yours.
