Lawn care questions from DFW homeowners
How much does lawn mowing cost in DFW?
For a quarter-acre lot, most companies charge $40 to $75 a visit for mowing, trimming, edging and blowing. Small lots run $30 to $55; half-acre lots $50 to $105. Weekly service costs less per visit than every two weeks.
How often should a North Texas lawn be mowed?
Weekly from about April to October, when Bermuda and St. Augustine grow fastest, and every two weeks in the cooler months. Bermuda goes dormant and brown in winter and needs little mowing then.
What height should my grass be cut?
Bermuda is usually kept at 1 to 2 inches and St. Augustine at 2.5 to 4 inches. Cutting St. Augustine too short in summer is a common cause of thin, weedy lawns. Tell the company which grass you have.
Does a lawn company need a licence in Texas?
Not for mowing. Applying weed killers or pest treatments to lawns for pay requires a licence through the Texas Department of Agriculture, and sprinkler work requires a licensed irrigator. Ask to see the licence for those services.
How many days a week can I water?
It depends on your city. Dallas and Fort Worth both limit sprinkler watering to two assigned days a week all year, and most North Texas cities ban midday watering in the hot months. Check your own city's current schedule.
Is this site a lawn care company?
No. DFW Lawn Care TX is a free matching service. We are not a lawn care company. We pass your request to one local lawn care company, which contacts you with a quote. The company may pay us for the introduction; you pay nothing to us.
How quickly will I hear back?
We pass your request to a local company on the same business day and tell you which one. If no company we work with covers your address yet, we tell you that plainly.
Do I have to sign a contract?
That is between you and the lawn company. Many in the area bill per visit with no long contract; ask before you agree.
