Weekly lawn care with a fixed monthly price, plus the planting, stonework and lighting that make a yard worth keeping. Free estimate inside 48 hours.
No contract and no cancellation fee. We would rather earn the next visit than lock you into fifty of them.
$149/mo weekly mowing, edging and blow-down on a quarter-acre lot
Pick the plan, find your lot size, that is the number. No walk-round required before you are allowed to know what it costs.
Weekly, March – October · fortnightly in winter
The lawn itself, done properly and done on schedule. For yards where the beds are already the way you want them.
Weekly, March – October · fortnightly in winter
Everything in Mow & Go, plus the jobs that decide how the yard looks in August: feeding, weed control and the beds kept clean.
Weekly, year round
For planted gardens rather than lawns. The same care, plus pruning, mulch and seasonal colour handled without you having to ask.
Prices are for the weekly season, March to October; the four winter months are billed at the fortnightly rate. Lots over an acre, steep slopes and yards left unmaintained for a season are quoted after we have seen them — we will tell you the number before we start, not after.
Landscaping is the one trade the calendar decides. This is the round we run in Austin — what actually needs doing each month, and why.
Dormant pruning — crape myrtles, roses and fruit trees, while the shape is still visible.
Ornamental grasses and perennials cut hard back before new growth starts.
First cut of the year, pre-emergent on the turf, every bed re-mulched.
Planting month. Weekly mowing begins and the irrigation is tested head by head.
Growth peaks. Edged every visit, and the first feed once the soil is properly warm.
Watering moves to the city's summer days and the mowing height goes up an inch.
Cut high, water deep and less often. Beds checked weekly for heat stress.
The hard month. Nothing new goes in the ground; we keep alive what is already there.
Second feed, and overseeding wherever the summer thinned the turf out.
The best planting window of the year. Leaf clearing starts towards the end.
Leaves off the lawn, irrigation dialled back, tender plants covered before the first freeze.
Final tidy, mulch topped up, and January's hard pruning planned with you.
Shaded months are the weekly round, March to October. In the four unshaded months we come fortnightly and you pay the lower winter rate.
Most complaints about a lawn service are really complaints about not knowing what was done. So here is the whole visit, step by step, with roughly how long each part takes on a quarter-acre lot.
Before anything starts: what changed since last week, what is stressed, what needs saying to you.
The height changes four times a year. In July it is as high as the mower goes, because grass shades its own roots.
A hard vertical edge is the single thing that makes a yard look maintained from the kerb. It is done every visit, not monthly.
Fence lines, post bases, tree rings, the strip behind the AC unit — the places a mower cannot reach and most crews skip.
Drive, walks, patio and porch. Clippings left on concrete stain it, and they end up indoors on somebody's shoes.
Sent the same afternoon: what we did and anything we are keeping an eye on. You never have to go outside to find out whether we came.
Work that happens once and then stays there. You do not need a maintenance plan to have any of it done, and having one does not oblige you to.
Flagstone, pavers and dry-stacked walls, laid on a base that does not move after the first wet spring.
From $3,400 for a typical 250 sq ft flagstone patio
Beds cut with a hard edge, planted with things that are still alive after a Texas August.
From $1,200 for a full front-bed rebuild, plants included
Repairs, retrofits and drip conversions that work inside Austin's watering rules rather than against them.
From $450 for a full system audit and repair visit
Low-voltage path and tree lighting, buried out of sight, on a timer you can change from the porch.
From $1,600 for a typical eight-fitting front-garden scheme
What we are actually doing out there changes completely four times a year. Most of it is invisible until the month you would have noticed it missing.
Beds get re-mulched, the turf gets pre-emergent before the weeds germinate, and the first mow sets the height for the year. Miss this window and you spend the summer catching up.
We raise the cutting height so the grass shades its own roots, and move you onto deep, infrequent watering on the days the city allows. Most of the work in August is water, not blades.
Autumn is when a Texas garden actually establishes — roots grow all winter while the top does nothing. It is also leaf season, and clearing is included rather than billed.
Nothing is growing, so the visits go fortnightly and the price drops with them. This is when the structural pruning gets done, because for two months you can finally see the shape.
They come on Tuesday. Every Tuesday for three years — including the week it iced over, when they came on Wednesday and told me before I had to ask. I did not know that was something you could buy.
Cass talked me out of the plan I arrived with. I wanted grass in a spot that gets four hours of sun; she drew a bed instead. It has looked good through two summers and cost me less than the lawn would have.
The patio has been down two winters with no movement and nothing growing in the joints. The quote was one page and the final invoice matched it to the dollar.
Free estimate, usually within 48 hours, and a written price before anything starts.
