Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
For small to medium lawns, the primary cost driver can be the fixed cost of the crew showing up. A tiny 'micro lawn' might be $50, while a lawn ten times larger could be $65, as the efficiency of scale kicks in after the initial setup.
Most homeowners in Austin spend between $130 and $200 per month during the growing season (spring through fall) for comprehensive lawn care, which typically includes weekly mowing and other routine maintenance.
For basic mowing and routine maintenance, a flat fee between $50 and $200 per job is common. For more specialized work or projects where the scope might change, an hourly rate, which can range from $50 to $150 depending on expertise, might be more appropriate. You can also base your flat fee on an estimated hourly commitment.
Material costs can vary significantly. For instance, one pallet of sod delivered can cost around $495. For jobs including sod installation, ensure you account for both the material cost and the labor required for its proper placement.
Large projects such as full landscaping around a house, sod installation, or excavation fall into the premium tier, with costs ranging from $495 to $3394 per job. A typical residential excavation job alone might average around $3,094.
