What Lawn Care Costs
Lawn care can cost little for a mowing plan and much more for a full treatment program, and where your yard lands depends on the lot and the work in it.
Where a yard lands comes down to how many visits it needs, what goes down on each one and how many hours the lot takes.
Most yards fall somewhere between two ends.
-
Costs little
A mowing plan with "string trimming" and "edging", or a mulch refresh in the beds.
-
Costs much more
Feeding, weed control, "core aeration" and "overseeding" through the year, on top of the weekly cut.
Underneath both, the price is driven by lot size, how much grading the site needs, the plants and materials chosen, and the hours the job takes. The number for your yard comes after the call, once we have seen the lawn.
Price Factors: Lot Size, Slope, Shade and Access
Lot size, turf condition, slope, shade, access, drainage, foot traffic and bed area set the scope of a plan, and the scope sets the price.
The factors that set a lawn care price are these.
Lot size
More turf means more time behind the mower and more product in every feeding.
Turf condition
A thin, weedy lawn takes more work to bring back than a thick one that only needs holding.
Slope
A bank takes longer to cut safely than flat ground, and that time comes back on every visit.
Shade
Grass under oaks and pines grows thinner and needs its own seeding and feeding plan.
Access
A narrow side gate decides which mower fits the back yard, and a smaller machine takes longer.
Drainage
Low, wet spots and slow-draining clay change what the lawn needs and when it can be worked.
Foot traffic
A lawn that kids and dogs run on compacts faster and needs more care to stay thick.
Bed area
Bed edging is priced by the linear foot, so more beds and longer borders add up.
Yearly Plans Billed in Monthly Amounts
A full lawn care program is usually quoted as a yearly contract, so you can pay it in level monthly amounts.
The busy months and the quiet ones cost the same on your bill, so you know the year's cost before it starts. Commercial grounds are priced on acreage, the scope of service and the contract terms. Either way, we quote the whole job before we start, with no surprise charges after.
Free, no-obligation estimates. The quote comes after the call, once we have looked the lawn over.
Comparing Lawn Care Estimates
You should compare estimates on the written scope, insurance and reputation, and be wary of any rate far above or below the rest.
Put the proposals side by side and check each one for these.
A written scope. The estimate says in writing what gets done and how often, so you are comparing the same job.
Proof of license and insurance. A provider should be licensed and insured, and a reputable one shows the proof when you ask.
Reputation and service. Weigh what neighbors say and how your call was handled alongside the price.
Line items you can match. Weekly or one-time items listed apart from seasonal work make two proposals easy to compare item for item.
A rate far from the rest. Steer clear of a price far above the others, and of one that is suspiciously low.
What our neighbors say
These are our Google reviews, in the reviewers' own words.
Ivan was so helpful! Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs services!
I could not be happier with Cut & Grow LLC. They are professional and their work is first rate. I recommend that you give them a try, I think you will be glad you did.
Enjoyed my experience with the the Cut&Grow work crew and management. A diligent and conscientious team that rejuvenated our recently purchased residential property. Overgrown weeds, neglected bushes, and an abundance of poison ivy was transformed into a tranquil environment. Professional, cooperative, and thorough.
