32 Visits Is Not Just a Number
When Monster Property Services quotes 32 visits per season, that's not a marketing line. It's a commitment — a structured maintenance calendar that covers your property from the moment snow melts until the last leaf falls. Every visit has a purpose. Every phase of the season gets what it needs.
Here's exactly what those 32 visits look like, broken down by season phase.
Spring: Visits 1–2 — The Cleanup
Your property spent months under snow, ice melter residue, ice, and debris. The first two visits are dedicated spring cleanup — the foundation for everything that follows.
- Power raking — removes thatch buildup that suffocates turf
- First mow — initial cut to reset height and encourage new growth
- Debris removal — branches, litter, winter accumulation, deadfall
- Hardscape blowout — walkways, curbs, parking areas cleared
These visits are labour-intensive. They take longer than a standard maintenance visit because the goal is total property reset — not just a quick cut.
Peak Growth: Visits 3–20 — Weekly Maintenance
This is the core of the season. From mid-April through July, turf grows fast — especially during spring growth surges when rain and warm temperatures stack up.
- Weekly mowing — consistent cut height for healthy turf
- Line trimming — every edge, every post, every obstacle
- Edging — clean separation between turf and hardscape
- Debris patrol — litter, branches, and anything that doesn't belong
- Hardscape blowout — clippings and debris off walkways and curbs
During peak growth, frequency may increase. If the turf needs it, the crew is there. The 32-visit minimum is a floor, not a ceiling.
Summer: Visits 15–24 — Adapting to Conditions
Mid-summer in Ontario means heat, drought stress, and sometimes dormancy. Mowing frequency adjusts to protect the turf — cutting dormant grass too short damages root systems and invites weeds.
- Mowing continues — adjusted frequency based on growth rate
- Height management — raised cut height during drought to protect roots
- Debris patrol never stops — even when mowing frequency drops, crews still patrol for litter, branches, and hazards
- Property monitoring — crews report irrigation issues, pest damage, or emerging problems
Some companies skip visits during dry periods and pocket the savings. Monster doesn't. If the turf doesn't need cutting, the crew still shows up for debris, inspection, and hardscape maintenance.
Fall: Visits 25–32 — The Cleanup That Matters Most
Fall cleanup is where most lawn companies cut corners. Monster dedicates six full visits to leaf management and property winterization.
- Repeated leaf collection — leaves fall over weeks, not all at once. One cleanup doesn't cut it.
- Vacuuming and bagging — not just blowing leaves into corners
- Final low-cut mow — drops the turf height to prevent snow mold
- Property winterization — beds cleared, hardscape cleaned, property left ready for winter
Six fall visits is significant. Many companies do two or three and call it done. But leaves keep falling through November, and a property left half-cleaned going into winter starts the next season behind.
Every Single Visit: The Non-Negotiables
Regardless of the season phase, every Monster visit includes:
- Debris pickup and litter patrol
- Hardscape blowing (walkways, curbs, patios)
- Photo documentation of completed work
- Digital service log accessible through the Client Portal
Garden Package Add-On
If your property includes the Garden maintenance package, each visit also covers:
- Weeding of all garden beds
- Pruning and trimming of shrubs and ornamentals
- Soil cultivation and bed edging
- Tree maintenance (lower canopy, suckers, deadwood)
The Guarantee
All 32 visits are guaranteed regardless of weather disruptions. If rain or extreme heat causes a missed visit, it rolls forward and consolidates with the next scheduled service. You paid for 32 — you get 32.
That's the difference between a service contract and a handshake. Monster puts the number in writing because the operation is built to deliver it.
