Professional lawn mowing services can make or break the look of your yard, but working out the pricing can be tricky, especially if you don’t know what goes into calculating the cost.

At Jim’s Mowing, we can help you navigate every part of the process, from price estimation to assessing your needs and providing a free quote.

Calculating Your Lawn Mowing Costs

Starting with the basics, here are the main questions to consider when calculating the cost of your lawn mowing service:

How large is your lawn?

The more ground there is to cover, the more time mowing will take, and the higher the price will be.

How easy is your yard to get around?

Any accessibility issues that make it more difficult to access your lawn or to mow it easily might make your bill a little bit more expensive. This may be frustrating, but these are the exact issues that can often make a professional mowing service valuable, especially if these problems would make DIYing it even more difficult.

How often do you mow your lawn?

The better-maintained the grass, the less work it will be for our team to tackle. If it’s been some time and the grass is overgrown, we’ve got all the right tools and skills to get it in shape again—it will just take a little bit longer the first time around.

What’s your preferred service frequency?

For most of our customers, ongoing maintenance services end up costing less in the long run than bigger one-off jobs. That’s because with frequent or semi-frequent services, we’re just keeping things tidy, whereas larger, less frequent jobs often require a lot more work, time, and skill to complete.

What services do you want or need?

The final and possibly most important question to ask yourself is what services you actually need for your lawn. Basic mowing is one thing, but for many of our first-time customers, their lawns need a little more TLC to start getting them under control. When calculating the costs of your service, it’s crucial to be aware of what services you actually need.

Aeration, dethatching, and grass slashing are often needed as a first step in managing lawns that haven’t had much care recently. Additional services like these will have a noticeable impact on the bottom line of your bill, but are worth it in the bigger picture of perfecting your lawn. The good news is that once these are done, and when followed up with a proper mowing and maintenance schedule, you won’t need to worry about them for a while.
