Georgia lawn-care pricing in 2026
Georgia mowing season runs roughly from April through October, which works out to 26 to 32 mows per typical residential lawn. Prices below reflect what most homeowners pay in Atlanta and the broader Georgia metro markets.
Typical mowing prices
| Lawn size | Per visit (low) | Per visit (mid) | Per visit (premium) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (under 5,000 sqft) | $35 | $45 | $50 |
| Medium (5,000 to 10,000 sqft) | $45 | $55 | $75 |
| Large (10,000 to 20,000 sqft) | $55 | $75 | $95 |
| Extra large (20,000+ sqft) | $75 | $95 | $125 |
These ranges are per-visit pricing. Most Georgia 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
Georgia sits in a humid subtropical, hot summers zone. Common residential grass types include Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, Fescue (north GA), each with different mow heights and frequency expectations. Local conditions to factor in: red Georgia clay drainage issues, pollen season debris in spring, heavy HOA enforcement in Cobb / Forsyth / Fulton.

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 Georgia contractor pricing for tight HOA suburbs charges differently than one pricing for the rural fringe.
Common add-ons in Georgia
- 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)
