Lawn Care Cost Calculator

Estimate lawn care cost per visit and per season by lawn size, service, and frequency

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does lawn mowing cost per visit?

Per-visit mowing runs about $35 for a small lawn under 5,000 sq ft, $50 up to 10,000 sq ft, $65 up to a half-acre, and $90 for up to a full acre, with roughly $60 more per additional acre.

How much does full-service lawn care cost?

Full-service (mow, edge, fertilize, trim, blow off) costs roughly 1.9× plain mowing per visit, and mowing plus fertilization and weed control about 1.4×. Over a season those add up well beyond the mowing-only price.

How many lawn visits are in a season?

A typical April–October growing season is about 28 weeks, which is 28 weekly visits, 14 biweekly, or 7 monthly. Warm Southern climates may mow nearly year-round and cold Northern ones less.

Is a seasonal lawn care contract cheaper?

Often yes. Locking in a standing weekly slot can earn a discount versus one-off cuts, and bundling a fertilization program ($300–$600 per year) with mowing is usually cheaper than buying it separately.
