What Do Our Lawn Mowing Services Cost?

Forest City Lawn Care Logo

We aren't going to be the cheapest lawn mowing service in the area but we know we're the most thorough, we are reliable, we use the best equipment, and we always provide the most value.

Lawn Mowing Service

Starts @ $40 Per Cut

This pricing would be for an average sized yard.  Our lawn mowing service will include mowing, removal of clippings, trimming of all edges, blowing off all hard surfaces of clippings or debris.

This starting price is only ball park figure to give you a rough idea as to what you should expect to pay for professional lawn mowing.  Your particular lawn may vary depending on the site, size of your property, the equipment required, and the overall scope of work.

This is a question we’re asked often.  Many customers think if they go to a bi-weekly schedule they will save themselves money.  This isn’t necessarily the case.

In the spring or anytime there has been great growing conditions (rain every few days) then your lawn will be growing much quicker.  If a lawn is experiencing good growth and we’re only cutting it bi-weekly, the lawn takes more time to mow.  We must go slower for a quality cut, we need to make more trips to dump the clippings, and it’s harder on our equipment.  A weekly mowing schedule (weather dependent) is usually the best solution.

Yes, we are both licensed and insured and can provide these documents to you upon request.

Typically, you don't need to be home during the service, as long as we have easy access to your yard. It's a good idea to discuss any specific instructions or concerns with us beforehand so we can make sure our mowing crews know how to navigate your property.  We will always leaves gates as we find them or follow whatever instructions you provide.

It's always nice when our clients are pro-active!  Please clear your lawn of debris, including toys, lawn furniture, pet toys, and any obstacles before we arrive. It's nice if the gates are unlocked and clear of obstructions and that your pets are secured indoors or in a separate area.

If it's a very light rain and for a short duration then, yes.  We will still mow.  If it's a torrential down pour or rain has been sustained for a few days and the ground is very wet and soggy we will usually skip that weeks mowing.  We don't want to damage your property or our equipment.  We will always strive to make up missed days as soon as the weather allows.

We understand some clients want us to use specific machinery to mow their lawn and we can accommodate these requests when they make sense.  We have both ride-on and commercial grade push mowers in our fleet and we'll always use the most efficient piece of equipment that will get the best results.

Typically we bag the clippings and take them away to a green waste facility for proper composting.  We are happy to leave the clippings on your lawn or dump them in a designated compost area on your property if you let us know ahead of time.

This can vary depending on several factors.  Generally our mowing crews operate with 1 to 3 employees.  The size of your property and how many properties we have on the schedule that day can dictate how many crew members will be working on your property.
