Lawn Care in Jacksonville, FL
Weekly and bi-weekly mowing, edging, and cleanup for St. Augustine, Zoysia, and Bahia lawns — cut at the right height, blades sharp, gates closed behind us. $45–$70 per visit.
Mowing Done Like It Matters
Lawn care looks simple until you've seen what bad mowing does to St. Augustine: scalped crowns, weed invasions, brown patch spreading from dull-blade tears. Jacksonville's long growing season means your lawn gets cut 40+ times a year — small quality differences compound fast. Here's our standard, every visit:
Cut high, cut sharp, cut consistently
St. Augustine thrives at 3.5–4 inches; Zoysia at 2–2.5. We set decks to the grass, not to the fastest pass, and we sharpen blades on a real schedule — sharp cuts heal fast in our humidity, ragged cuts invite fungus. Same day each week, so your lawn never goes shaggy between visits.
Edges, blowing, and the details
Every visit includes crisp edging along walks, drives, and beds, string-trimming around obstacles, and a full blow-off of hard surfaces. Gates get closed, toys get worked around (not mowed over), and pet areas get the same care as the front showcase.
Fertilization and weed control, on schedule
Mowing is only half a healthy lawn. We offer bundled programs with seasonal fertilization, pre-emergent weed control, and targeted treatments — spring feeding for green-up, summer chinch-bug monitoring on St. Augustine (Jacksonville's signature pest), fall pre-emergent before winter weeds germinate. If your lawn needs rescue work first — sod replacement for dead zones, irrigation tune-ups for dry spots — we'll tell you straight and sequence it right.
Your Jacksonville seasonal lawn calendar
North Florida lawns run on a different clock than the rest of the state. March–April: scalp-free spring cleanup, first fertilization, pre-emergent down before crabgrass germinates, irrigation systems recommissioned after winter. May–September: weekly mowing at full height, chinch bug scouting on St. Augustine (damage shows as yellowing patches that don't green up after watering), and irrigation tuned for the rainy season — systems should be backing off, not running full blast through July thunderstorms. October–November: fall fertilization to build root reserves, final pre-emergent application, mowing height eased down slightly. December–February: bi-weekly mowing as growth slows, irrigation cut back to comply with winter watering rules, and frost protection mindset — a hard freeze can brown St. Augustine, but healthy, well-fed turf recovers in spring while weak turf doesn't. Our recurring plans follow this calendar automatically; you never have to think about timing again.
From Cleanup to Recurring Care
Starting from an overgrown mess? We do one-time cleanups — priced by the job — then transition you to a weekly or bi-weekly plan once it's maintainable. Property managers and HOAs: we provide consistent scheduling, service documentation for compliance, and photo confirmations on request. And if the lawn's problems run deeper than mowing (standing water, dead patches, broken sprinklers), our drainage and irrigation crews are the same company — one call fixes the system, not just the symptom.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does lawn care cost in Jacksonville?
Weekly mowing in Jacksonville typically runs $45–$70 per visit depending on lot size, with most suburban lots falling $50–$60. Bi-weekly service runs slightly more per visit. Monthly full-service plans (mow, edge, blow, plus fertilization scheduling) usually land $180–$280/month.
How often should my lawn be mowed?
St. Augustine and Zoysia in Jacksonville's growing season (April–October) need weekly mowing to stay healthy — letting it go two weeks means scalping, which invites weeds and disease. In winter dormancy, every other week is usually plenty.
Do you handle fertilization and weed control?
We coordinate it. Our mowing plans can include scheduled fertilization, pre-emergent, and targeted weed control timed to North Florida's seasons — spring green-up feeding, summer chinch bug watch on St. Augustine, fall pre-emergent. One schedule, one crew, no juggling vendors.
What mowing height is right for St. Augustine?
3.5–4 inches — taller than most people think. Taller grass shades out weeds, roots deeper, and survives Jacksonville's summer stress far better than a scalped lawn. We set deck heights correctly and keep blades sharp; dull blades tear grass and invite fungus in our humidity.
Can you clean up my overgrown yard?
Yes — overgrowth cleanups are a common first visit, especially on new listings and rental turnovers. We quote cleanups separately from recurring service (they're priced by the job, not the visit), then roll you into a regular schedule once it's under control.
Do you service HOAs and rental properties?
We handle both. Many Jacksonville HOAs require weekly service in season with specific height and edging standards — we meet them and can provide service documentation for compliance. For rentals and property managers, we offer simple recurring billing and photo confirmations.
