Lawn Mowing Cost

HOW MUCH DOES LAWN MOWING COST?

Lawn Mowing Cost

Our goal is to make our pricing simple, transparent, and affordable. We have standardized prices used for lawn mowing, based upon square footage. There are many variables that will increase or decrease the price but these are the general guidelines we use. These prices are per mowing service on a weekly or bi-weekly (every other week) schedule. We require all Customers to be on a weekly schedule from March till end of June. During the Summer you may switch to a biweekly schedule.

Variables That Will Affect The Price

1. Shape

A perfectly rectangular lawn will take a considerable amount of time less to mow in comparison to an odd shaped lawn with flowerbeds and obstacles scattered throughout.

2. Access

Small gates into backyards keep us from using larger mowing equipment, and increases the time it takes to mow the backyard if it is fenced in. Long driveways or addresses with limited parking for our truck and trailer setup, also increase the time it takes to perform service. A lawn right next to where the trailer parks is going to cost less.

3. Clippings Disposal

We assume that we will be hauling the clippings to the dump. On large properties, having the clippings side-discharged and left on the lawn will reduce the price.

Frequently Asked Questions

"My grass hasn't been trimmed in a few weeks and has become overgrown..."

On your very first mowing service, if the lawn is overgrown it can take the crew 2-3 times longer to mow the grass. This initial cut will cost extra to establish defined edges and an appropriate grass length but after that your price will fall in alignment with the standard fees.
“My lawn only takes 20 minutes to mow. why does it cost so much?”

Even if the lawn is 1000 sq feet, we still must charge our minimum service charge. Trucks, trailers, insurance, fuel, and other expenses make it vital for us to charge that minimum fee. Also, our full-time office staff takes time to service and account for each client for billing, to invoice, and customer service.
"What about treatments and fertilizers?"

All of your lawn care pricing is based upon square footage. We have basic and premium packages for treatments and are more than happy to share with you the prices for those services. The Basic Treatment Package includes 4 treatments per year. The Premium Package includes 9 treatments per year.
