Like an overgrown beard, an overgrown lawn is no longer stylish once it touches the owner's knees. Take pride in a fashion-savvy yard with today's Groupon: for $20, you get one lawn-mowing service from Esthetically Correct Landscapes in Durham (a $40 value). Friendly landscapers will travel to lawns within 10 miles of downtown Durham, in Durham and Chapel Hill. This Groupon covers clips on lawns up to 10,000 square feet.

Fully licensed and insured, experts at Esthetically Correct transform yards into groomed, eye-pleasing spaces with landscaping services that range from routine maintenance to elaborate design and construction work. A professional lawn mowing begins with careful edging and trimming work, which quashes a lawn's natural temptation to claw its way across sidewalks, into gardens, and over guests dozing in low-slung hammocks. Mowers then trim grass to an attractive, even length suitable for barefoot strolls and competitive croquet. Clippers clear debris by blowing away shredded grass before departing, leaving yards ready to showcase in the background of family photos or the foreground of ant photos after about 45 minutes.
