  3. Grass is getting greener: A lawn maintenance cost checkup
  4. With longer hours of daylight comes more time for grass to grow — and the arrival of landscaping season.
  5.  
  6. A quarter of Americans (25%) say maintaining their lawn makes them happy, according to a survey from February 2025, and people are investing in upkeep:1
  7.  
  8. For a typical month, millennials spent $701 on lawn care, while Baby Boomers kept expenses under $500, at only $475.
  9.  
  10. The biggest challenges for people are weed control (43%) and not having enough time (36%).
  11.  
  12. Depending on how people value their time and money, there’s a tradeoff when taking on yard work solo or adding outside help. As of the second half of 2024, prices of outdoor equipment and supplies got a trim — dropping 3.3% year-over-year — while the cost of gardening and lawn care services rose 10.2% over the same time frame, according to the Consumer Price Index.2,3
  13.  
  14. Hiring a pro
  15. Despite the uptick in lawn care labor costs, unlocking more leisure time could be worthwhile for many: A third of Gen Z (30%) would pay up to $5,000 per year to save time not doing everyday tasks like cleaning and yard work, according to Empower research.
  16.  
  17. The amount of outdoor maintenance needed can shift the cost significantly, with each lawn’s specific condition, size, and grass type also taken into consideration:4
  18.  
  19. Lawn mowing can range from $36 to $105.
  20.  
  21. Weed removal could cost between $65 and $120.
  22.  
  23. Trimming hedges can range between $48 and $79 an hour, depending on the complexity.
  24.  
  25. The industry has seen steady growth; there were more than 652,000 landscaping businesses in the U.S. as of 2023, a jump of 3.5% from the year prior.5 In May 2023, America had nearly 930,000 landscaping and groundskeeping workers.6
  26.  
  27. Adding automation
  28. The rise of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) has also spread to home exteriors. Sales of robot lawn mowers are expected to top $10.6 billion by 2032, growing 12% per year.7
  29.  
  30. In February 2025, Deere reported equipment sales of $6.8 billion for its fiscal first quarter, following on the heels of a January announcement around upcoming models that will be autonomous.8 Among the new designs is a battery electric mower that can operate on its own for up to 10 hours on a single charge, mowing at a rate of five to six miles per hour and adjusting for lawn conditions.9
  31.  
  32. Geared more toward consumers, Sunseeker has developed new robotic lawn mower models that feature AI technology (to dodge obstacles while operating) and can integrate with Amazon Alexa and Google Home assistants. With retail prices starting at over $2,000, the mowers can map and remember the layout of lawns, accounting for slopes and corners.10 Being able to pair smart virtual assistants could be an added bonus, as more people could be in the market for one — the product category has seen a 6% price drop year-over-year.
  33.  
  34. One U.S. city has started to invest in bringing robotics to its maintenance fleet. In late 2024, the city of Dallas spent $250,000 on battery-powered, robotic lawn equipment to work on a 277-acre park.11
  35.  
  36. Timing the tasks
  37. In addition to figuring out the “how” of lawn care, “when” is another important factor. Spring can be a popular time to clear leaves and debris from winter, as temperatures warm and there’s less threat of frost.12
  38.  
  39. Building off the strong “subscription economy,” hardware chain Ace is banking on homeowners who may want some assistance in getting the timing for their lawns right. The YardRx service packages together season-specific products with the convenience of free delivery or store pickup. With input from local experts, the treatments — sent in spring, summer, and fall — are customized based on input from the customer and the lawn’s specifics, including location, weather, grass type, and problem areas.13
  40.  
  41. Keeping the outdoors great
  42. Spending quality time outside can be a high priority for people, with Empower research finding that 35% of Americans hope to do more gardening when they retire.
  43.  
  44. Having a clean-cut lawn could also help those looking to put their home on the market: Curb appeal can account for up to 7% of a home’s sale price.14
  45.  
  46. Whichever approach people take to maintain their lawns, investing in the outdoors can be a great way to let in some fresh air and spring forward.
  47.  
  48. Lawn care costs average between $30 and $85 per visit for basic mowing and edging, or $100 to $410 per month for full-service, year-round maintenance. Your total cost depends heavily on your lawn's size, service frequency, and local location.Typical Cost BreakdownPer-Visit Mowing: $30 – $80 on average for standard residential yards.Monthly Maintenance: $120 – $430+ per month for regular weekly or bi-weekly service plans.Full-Year Managed Care: $1,000 – $3,500+ annually, which includes bundled services like mowing, fertilization, aeration, and clean-ups.Factors That Impact Your QuoteYard Size: Small lawns (up to 2,000 sq ft) cost significantly less per mow than large estates.Frequency: Weekly or bi-weekly maintenance contracts can lower your per-mow cost compared to sporadic, one-time mows.Extra Services: Add-ons like hedge trimming, weed control, mulching, or leaf removal will increase the bill.

  162. Lawn Winterization
  163. You can expect to pay $100 to $400 to winterize your lawn. Lawn winterization involves adding a new, tough fertilizer to your grass so it can withstand the harshness of winter. Your total cost will depend on the types of treatment your lawn needs to withstand the cold months.

  182.  
  183. Lawn Size Average Monthly Service Cost

  191.  
  192. Prep
  193. A lawn care professional may need to do some prep work before caring for your lawn. For example, tree stump removal will cost $175 to $500. If a stump is blocking your yard and making lawn care difficult, you will likely need to remove it before a pro agrees to do yard work. Also, if your lawn is in poor condition, a pro will need to perform a lot of pre-maintenance before starting lawn care, so you’ll pay extra for that, too.
  194.  
  195. Location
  196. Your location plays a role in lawn care costs. Here are the average prices for lawn care in your area:

  232. Maintenance
  233. Most commonly, lawn care professionals charge a monthly fee for ongoing services or an hourly or per service charge for one-time visits. However, depending on the work needed, you can create a weekly, bi-weekly, seasonal, or yearly maintenance plan with a pro. However, your costs will be lower if you pay monthly or weekly rather than for a one-time service.
  234.  
  235. Repairs
  236. Regular lawn care also means you’ll need to budget for repairs. For example, the cost to repair your sprinkler system runs between $130 and $410, and gutter repairs cost $200 to $650.
  237.  
  238. If you had a harsh winter, you might need to have a lawn care pro seal and clean your pavers, and you can expect to pay $300 to $550 for this service.
  239.  
  240. Additional Services
  241. You can save money on lawn care services by bundling projects into fewer visits. Consider whether your yard could benefit from the following professional tasks:
  242.  
  243. Flower bed installation: $800–$3,000
  244.  
  245. Sod installation: $1,070–$3,000
  246.  
  247. Sprinkler system installation: $1,665–$3,550
  248.  
  249. Drip irrigation system installation: $200–$850
  250.  
  251. How to Save on Lawn Care Costs
  252. Although you can’t change the average costs of individual lawn care services, there are ways you can save, including:
  253.  
  254. Bundle your lawn care services in a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or yearly contract instead of paying one-time fees for each service.
  255.  
  256. Ask for a discount if you’re paying upfront for an annual contract.
  257.  
  258. Get quotes from at least three lawn care companies in your area before committing to a yearly contract.
  259.  
  260. Choose native plants that require less caretaking and watering.
  261.  
  262. Plant perennials instead of annuals, so you don’t need to plant new flowers each season.
  263.  
  264. Try to handle more manageable lawn care tasks yourself, such as mowing and watering, and leave the difficult projects to the pros.
  265.  
  266. Perform maintenance throughout the year so you won’t be stuck with a hefty bill for one-time cleaning and maintenance services.
  267.  
  268. Why You Should Hire a Lawn Care Pro
  269. Lawn care runs the gamut from mowing to installing sprinkler systems. So, if you’re handy and enjoy getting your hands in the dirt, you can DIY several aspects of lawn care.

  286. DIY Lawn Care vs. Hiring a Lawn Care Service: Pros and Cons of Both
  287. In this DIY world, there’s a good chance you might be considering tackling lawn care on your own. After all, why pay for something that you could easily do yourself? But therein lies the big question—how easy is it to really do lawn care on your own?
  288.  
  289. There may be a number of reasons that you think DIY lawn care makes sense for you. But there are a lot of important points to consider before making that leap.
  290.  
  291. So, in this article, we’ll be exploring some of the pros and cons of do it yourself lawn care vs. hiring a lawn care company.
  292.  
  293. Should I Do My Own Lawn Care?
  294. If you’re thinking about tackling your own lawn care, you should first consider these points.
  295.  
  296. DIY Lawn Care Pros:
  297. Saving Money (at first): Chances are if you’re thinking about DIY lawn care, it’s to try and save some money. You might find that doing your own lawn care may initially seem less expensive but in time it could actually cost you more.
  298. Great Exercise: Getting out in the yard to do some lawn work is certainly one way to get exercise and is one reason why some homeowners do their own lawn care instead of hiring a professional.
  299. Taking Pride in DIY Work: Some people like the idea of doing yard work on their own and may even take pride in tackling their lawn care. But that pride can quickly sour if the work doesn’t pan out the way you had expected.
  300. Healthy grass with good lawn care
  301.  
  302. DIY Lawn Care Cons:
  303. Mediocre Results: Without access to commercial grade products and skilled expertise, DIYers might also get lackluster results. Or, more commonly, they have to continue spending until they find the right solution, if they do at all.
  304. If they continue to do their lawn on their own, they might find the cost is increasing as they try to find the right product, and it would have been more cost-effective to just hire a lawn care service in the first place. Many struggle with crabgrass breakthrough in the summer, certain troublesome broadleaf weeds and nutsedge, as well as poor results with grub control treatments.
  305. Hidden Lawn Care Costs: Although there can be initial savings involved, it’s also important to recognize there are often hidden costs associated with lawn care that most homeowners miss predicting. Without a trained professional regularly overseeing your lawn care, there are also a lot of things that can go wrong.
  306. While a small percentage of do-it-yourselfers might make out okay on their own, the majority get an expensive lesson at some point with something going wrong or a problem arising that they don’t know how to fix on their own.
  307. Lawn Care is Time Consuming: While you may feel like you have plenty of time to tackle lawn care projects, the process is often more time consuming than most people realize. Multiple trips to the store, finding the right day with the right weather conditions, along with cleanup and storage of materials can eat up more time than many assume.
  308. Should I Hire a Lawn Care Company?
  309. If you’re considering hiring a lawn care service, you should first weigh these pros and cons.
  310.  
  311. Lawn Care Company Pros:
  312. Better Results: By hiring a lawn care professional, you’ll get better results and perhaps even a guarantee on the work, depending on the company you choose. That’s a guarantee that doesn’t come on a bag or bottle you’d buy at your local hardware or home improvement store.
  313. Convenience: Plus, you won’t have to do it on your own. Although this may have initially been your goal, more often than not, what seemed like an easy and perhaps even fun endeavor at the start often turns into a chore when one realizes just how much time, skill, and work is actually involved.
  314. Solutions for Tricky Issues: A professional lawn care service will also have trained technicians who know exactly how to diagnose and solve problems, which can also save you a lot of time and money in the long run. It’s very common for DIYers to misdiagnose issues and waste money not only on products but have damage continue without remedy.

  319. Lawn Care Company Cons:
  320. Cost (sometimes): The downside that probably comes to your mind in hiring a lawn care service is the upfront cost. It may seem expensive at the onset to pay a professional. But the fact of the matter is that a do it yourself lawn care program can actually be more expensive if you wind up making costly mistakes and have to pay to fix them.
  321. By using a professional who practices proactive lawn care, they can prevent problems in the first place. The cost of lawn care may only be slightly more than what you’d expect, and well worth the value it provides beyond dollars and cents.
  322.  
  323. Making a Bad Choice: Of course, hiring the wrong lawn care professional can also be a con. You simply aren’t going to get the professional benefits discussed if you choose a company that doesn’t practice proactive lawn care.
  324. Some companies out there only address problems as they arise, playing an endless game of whack-a-mole and never really making any true progress toward the health of your lawn. However, a company that focuses on improving soil health, knows it’s what lies underground that is most important to a thriving lawn.
  325. Lawn Care Professionals for the Win
  326. In looking at the pros and cons of each decision, the pros of hiring a lawn care service far outweigh the cons. While the cost may be one of your biggest concerns in hiring a professional, with the right company you can actually end up saving money and preventing costly mistakes.Professional lawn care service caring for lawn
