Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much do lawn care businesses charge per square foot?
Standard residential mowing typically runs $0.01 to $0.02 per square foot with a $40–$55 minimum visit fee, adjusted for grass height and obstacle complexity.
Why offer a discount for weekly mowing vs. bi-weekly?
Weekly mowing takes less time per cut because grass clippings are shorter and require no bagging or double-pass mowing.
