Florida lawn-care pricing in 2026
Florida mowing season runs roughly from year-round through year-round, which works out to 44 to 52 mows per typical residential lawn. Prices below reflect what most homeowners pay in Orlando and the broader Florida metro markets.
Typical mowing prices
| Lawn size | Per visit (low) | Per visit (mid) | Per visit (premium) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (under 5,000 sqft) | $30 | $40 | $45 |
| Medium (5,000 to 10,000 sqft) | $40 | $50 | $67 |
| Large (10,000 to 20,000 sqft) | $50 | $67 | $85 |
| Extra large (20,000+ sqft) | $67 | $85 | $115 |
These ranges are per-visit pricing. Most Florida contractors mow on a 7-day or 14-day rotation in peak season. Recurring customers usually get a 10 to 15 percent discount versus one-time mows.
Climate, season, and grass types
Florida sits in a subtropical, year-round growing season zone. Common residential grass types include St. Augustine, Bahia, Zoysia, each with different mow heights and frequency expectations. Local conditions to factor in: year-round mowing means more revenue but tight scheduling, hurricane season debris clearing, chinch bug damage requiring spot quotes.

YardQuote calculates an automatic estimate as: a base price for any yard up to a threshold (5,000 sqft is the default), plus a step price for every additional unit (2,500 sqft is the default). Contractors set their own numbers in the dashboard, so a Florida contractor pricing for tight HOA suburbs charges differently than one pricing for the rural fringe.
Common add-ons in Florida
- Edge trimming along sidewalks and beds (typically $5 to $15 per visit)
- Bagging clippings instead of mulching (typically $5 to $20)
- Spring or fall cleanup (one-time, varies widely by leaf load)
- Aeration and overseeding (one to two times per year for transition-zone lawns)
