Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does it cost to mow a lawn? ▼
  Average lawn mowing costs are $0.02/sq ft for mow-only service. A typical 3,000 sq ft lawn costs $60 per visit. Full service (mowing, edging, trimming, blowing) runs $0.025-0.03/sq ft, about $75-90 for the same lawn.
• How often should a lawn be mowed? ▼
  During the growing season, most lawns benefit from mowing every 1-2 weeks. Weekly service maintains a tighter appearance; biweekly is more cost-effective and still healthy for most grass types.
• Does lawn size affect price per square foot? ▼
  Yes — large lawns (over 10,000 sq ft) typically benefit from a lower per-sq-ft rate because the crew amortizes travel and setup time over more area. Small lawns under 2,000 sq ft often have a minimum charge of $35-50.
• What is included in full service lawn care? ▼
  Full service typically includes mowing, string trimming around obstacles and edges, edging along driveways/sidewalks, and blowing clippings off hard surfaces. Fertilization, weed control, and aeration are typically separate add-ons.
