The typical lawn care cost per month in Massachusetts runs $160 to $400 for weekly mowing<\/strong> on a standard quarter-acre lot, and $250 to $600 per month<\/strong> once you add a fertilizer program, spring and fall clean-ups and other seasonal work. The numbers below are typical ranges for the Wrentham area, and your quote will depend on lot size, terrain and what you want included.<\/p>\n

Lawn care cost per month: the quick numbers<\/h2>\n

Lawn care pricing in our area breaks into two buckets: the weekly mowing visit, and everything else that keeps a lawn healthy through a New England year. Here is what a typical Wrentham, Franklin or Foxboro homeowner pays for each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Service<\/th>\nTypical price<\/th>\nMonthly equivalent<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n
Weekly mowing (1\/4 acre)<\/td>\n$40\u2013$65 per visit<\/td>\n$160\u2013$280<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Weekly mowing (1\/2 acre)<\/td>\n$60\u2013$95 per visit<\/td>\n$240\u2013$400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Weekly mowing (1 acre)<\/td>\n$95\u2013$150 per visit<\/td>\n$380\u2013$650<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fertilizer program (5\u20136 apps)<\/td>\n$65\u2013$120 per app<\/td>\n$50\u2013$90 averaged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Spring clean-up<\/td>\n$250\u2013$600 one time<\/td>\n$30\u2013$70 averaged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fall clean-up<\/td>\n$300\u2013$800 one time<\/td>\n$35\u2013$95 averaged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Aeration and overseeding<\/td>\n$250\u2013$600 one time<\/td>\n$30\u2013$70 averaged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

So a full-service package on a quarter-acre lot usually totals $3,000 to $5,500 per season<\/strong>. Spread over the roughly eight months we work in Massachusetts, that is $375 to $690 per month. If you only want mowing, the lawn care cost per month drops to the $160 to $280 range. In short, the “everything else” nearly doubles the bill, but it is also what separates a green lawn from a weedy one.<\/p>\n

What a monthly mowing price includes<\/h2>\n

A standard mowing visit is more than cutting grass. For example, a proper visit from our lawn mowing crew<\/a> includes mowing at the correct height, string trimming along fences and beds, edging hard surfaces and blowing clippings off walks and driveways. That takes a two-person crew about 20 to 40 minutes on a typical lot.<\/p>\n

Most companies charge extra for bagging clippings, mowing through heavy leaf drop or cutting grass that has grown a foot tall. As a result, always ask what a visit covers before you compare two quotes. A $45 visit that skips trimming is not cheaper than a $55 visit that does the whole job.<\/p>\n

Weekly vs biweekly mowing<\/h3>\n

Many homeowners ask about biweekly mowing to cut the lawn care cost per month in half. It rarely works out that way. In May and June, cool-season grass in Massachusetts grows two to three inches a week, so a biweekly cut stresses and clumps the lawn. Because of that, most companies charge 25 to 50 percent more per biweekly visit, and some will not offer it during peak growth.<\/p>\n

How lot size changes your lawn care cost per month<\/h2>\n

Lot size is the biggest single factor, but it is not a straight line. A crew’s drive time, unloading and set-up cost the same on every stop, so small lots pay more per square foot. Here is how pricing tiers usually shake out around Wrentham and Norfolk.<\/p>\n
