PITTSBURGH, PA — Pittsburgh’s City Cuts lawncare program is back with full funding for the 2026 season, giving eligible residents a way to keep their properties maintained without taking on the physical or financial burden of regular mowing.
Mayor Corey O’Connor announced that applications are open for the program, which provides free lawn cutting services to qualifying city residents. The city says the effort is designed to help vulnerable neighbors maintain pride in their properties while also directing work to local landscaping businesses.
The program is funded at $300,000 and provides lawn cutting from local contractors twice per month, beginning in early June and running into the fall. City officials said the funding was restored after the administration identified City Cuts as a priority for neighborhood support.
Residents may qualify if they live in the City of Pittsburgh, own or are responsible for mowing the property, lack the means to cut the grass, and meet at least one eligibility category. Those categories include being 62 or older, being a veteran, having a disability that prevents mowing, or having income at or below 150 percent of the federal poverty guideline.
Space is limited and registration is first-come, first-served. Eligible residents can check qualifications and apply by contacting 311, either by dialing 311 or calling 412-255-2621, with additional program information available through the city’s City Cuts page.
