The average professional lawn mowing cost is $120 per visit, but the cost can range from $50 to $200, depending on factors like lawn size, frequency of service, and grass height. If your lawn mowing company charges by square foot, you can expect to pay $0.01 to $0.06 per square foot or $150 to $200 per acre. Keep in mind that these prices only include routine lawn maintenance, including mowing and edging. You could pay $400 or more for additional services, like raking leaves, weeding garden beds, trimming trees, and applying pesticides or weedkillers.

In most municipalities, lawn mowing companies only need a business license to operate. However, in some areas, landscaping companies must be licensed, insured, and bonded. Working with an unlicensed and uninsured company could mean you’re liable for any injuries on your property, which is a major risk that’s best to avoid. You can use Angi’s state license lookup tool to ensure that a company holds the proper licensing in your area before hiring them.

Services typically include mowing, edging, trimming, and debris cleanup. Additional options may consist of fertilization and weed control.

Signs of overwatering in your lawn can include waterlogged or soggy soil, a perpetually damp surface, the presence of mushrooms or fungi, and grass that appears yellow or wilted. Overwatered grass often feels mushy underfoot, and you may notice an increase in pests like grubs. To avoid overwatering, ensure proper drainage with periodic lawn aeration and adjust your watering schedule to match your lawn's actual needs.
