Lot sizes change by neighborhood. Most homes in Dellview are our Standard yard, most in Colonies North are Large, and Castle Hills lots run bigger still.
What changes the price
Lot size. This is the biggest factor. We read your lot size from the county lot records, so you do not need to measure anything or wait for a visit. Most homes on a regular city lot are a Standard yard. Corner lots and larger yards move up a tier. On the first visit we confirm the size against the county record.
How often we come. Weekly costs the least per visit. A standard yard is $55 weekly, $60 every other week, and $70 monthly. A monthly or one-time cut costs more per visit because the grass is longer and takes more time to cut. A weekly plan is four or five visits a month, and you pay per visit, so a month on a standard yard is four or five times $55. Our price is the mow, the edging and the blowing. Lawn treatment programs are a different service, so compare mowing prices to mowing prices.
The time of year. San Antonio grass grows fastest in spring. From March through June, every plan is mowed weekly. Every other week and monthly plans run July through February. We wrote more about the schedule in how often to mow in San Antonio.
A yard that doesn’t match the record. If your yard is very different from the county record, we tell you before we change anything. Fall can also bring a growth spurt that gets ahead of a yard fast; we explain why in why is my grass growing so fast in the fall.
Extras. Yard cleanups, mulch and pet waste removal are priced on their own, so you only pay for what you ask for.
Weekly or every other week?
Weekly is the cheaper choice per visit, and the lawn looks kept up all the time. The reason is the one-third rule: cut no more than a third of the grass blade in one mow. When grass grows fast, two weeks of growth can push it past that, so the cut takes longer and the lawn looks rough for a few days. Our guide on how often to mow in San Antonio has the heights for St. Augustine and Bermuda. That is also why every plan is mowed weekly from March through June.
What a visit includes
Every visit we mow the whole yard, edge the driveway, walks and curbs, and blow the clippings off the hard surfaces. We text before we arrive, and you do not need to be home. If your backyard is behind a locked gate, give us the code or leave it unlocked, and tell us about any dogs.
