Lawn care cost in Dallas in 2026
Weekly in-season lawn care in Dallas runs $40 to $110 per visit in 2026 — median around $65 for a standard 7,000 sq ft lot. A full program (mow + edge + blow + seasonal fertilize) runs $2,400 to $4,200 a year. Dallas heat pushes good crews to a 10-day cadence by late July regardless of the "weekly" plan you signed up for.

What swings the price
- Lot size and slope.
- Grass type — St. Augustine needs a higher blade and more frequent visits than Bermuda.
- Gates, dogs, pool access — all add setup time.
- Leaf-heavy fall cleanup (October–November) — surcharge.
- HOA look requirements in Plano, Frisco, Highland Park.
Dallas specifics
Dallas summers push turf into stress mode by late July — good crews raise the mow height to 3.5"–4" (for St. Augustine) and cut every 10 days instead of 7. Pricing usually stays the same but visit count drops, so watch quotes that promise "28 weekly visits" without a heat-adjustment clause. A crew that mows every 7 days in August is over-stressing the grass.

FAQs
How much does weekly lawn care cost in Dallas?
$50–$75 per visit for a standard ~7,000 sq ft lot in season. Bigger lots or St. Augustine turf (which needs more attention) push toward $75–$110. Winter (December–February) usually drops to bi-weekly or monthly at the same per-visit rate.
What's included in a "full yard program"?
Recurring mow + edge + blow, plus 6–8 seasonal fertilize / pre-emergent / weed applications spaced through the year. $2,400–$4,200 annually for a standard lot. Sprinkler audit, aeration, and tree work are separate line items.
St. Augustine vs. Bermuda — does it matter for pricing?
Yes. St. Augustine is thicker, needs a higher mow blade, and is more susceptible to fungus in Dallas humidity — more visits, more chemical, higher yearly cost. Bermuda is easier and cheaper to maintain. Zoysia sits in the middle.
Do Dallas lawn crews charge more in summer?
Per-visit rates hold flat, but the visit count drops from weekly to every-10-days in July–August because mowing stressed grass shorter than the recommended height causes real damage. Total in-season cost stays roughly the same.
How much does a one-off cleanup cost in Dallas?
$95–$200 depending on overgrowth. If the yard hasn't been mowed in 4+ weeks, expect the top of the range. Some crews won't take one-offs at all — they only quote recurring plans.
