Factors That Can Affect Your Lawn Care Pricing

Every property is unique, and several factors can impact the final cost of your lawn care.

While we do our best to keep prices fair and reasonable, challenges can require more time and effort—so they're always worth considering during a quote.

Yard size is a good guide but it isn’t all that matters.

Cost Guide

To help you have an idea about what can impact price.

I’m sure most have heard that good work isn’t cheap.

And,

Cheap work isn’t usually good!

Also these three things,

(Good) + (Cheap) = Won’t be (Fast)

(Fast) + (Good) = Won’t be (Cheap)

(Cheap) + (Fast) = Won’t be (Good)

Factoring in:

  • Do you live at the top of a tall mountain?

  • Is your drive over 4 miles on a one lane dirt road?

  • Is the lawn serviceable by riding mowers or mostly push mowed?

  • Are there many coping stones, a huge trampoline, or things blocking the mower?

  • Is the yard wet, soft, dusty, or have hazards?

    That said there are always things to consider to keep price reasonable.

Residential vs. Commercial Lawn Care Services 🌱

Not all lawn care services are the same. Residential and commercial properties often require different approaches when it comes to scheduling, service expectations, and billing. Here’s what sets them apart:

1. Service Commitment & Scheduling

  • Residential Properties 🏡

    • Flexible scheduling is common.

    • Services may be skipped or delayed due to weather conditions such as prolonged rain or drought.

    • This flexibility helps homeowners save money and avoid unnecessary mowing when lawns aren’t actively growing.

  • Commercial Properties 🏢

    • A strict service schedule is required.

    • Businesses rely on their property always looking neat and welcoming—there is no room for delay.

    • Even in dry or wet conditions, regular maintenance is carried out to ensure the grounds consistently reflect a professional appearance.

2. Billing Practices

  • Residential Accounts

    • Typically billed per service.

    • Charges may vary month to month depending on how many visits were necessary.

  • Commercial Accounts

    • Billed on a set monthly contract price, regardless of how many services are performed that month.

    • This ensures businesses have predictable budgeting and guaranteed service levels.

    • The focus is on consistency and reliability rather than service-by-service billing.
