Recurring residential lawn mowing service cost per visit in Texas (2026)
A typical Texas range, the local factors behind it, and the tools to price your own project.

What drives the cost in Texas
Texas runs from humid Houston and the Gulf Coast, where St. Augustine grows nearly year round, to the Dallas and Austin areas with Bermuda and zoysia on a long warm season calendar, to arid El Paso where turf is small and irrigated. The state applies sales tax to lawn care and landscaping services, with a narrow exemption for very small operators, so most recurring plans carry sales tax on the invoice. Labor costs generally sit near or slightly below the national typical range, there is no state income tax, and summer heat, hurricanes on the coast and spring storms all shape scheduling.
Tips for Texas buyers
- Collect sales tax on the plan unless you have confirmed you qualify for the small operator exemption, and show it separately.
- Build separate season templates for Houston, the Dallas and Austin corridor, and West Texas.
- Schedule summer routes for early starts and expect a productivity dip in July and August.
Ranges are hedged planning estimates derived from a national typical range and a local index, not quotes. Typical per visit price for a standard suburban lawn with mow, trim, edge and blow on a weekly or biweekly plan; real quotes vary widely with lot size, cadence, region and what the visit includes, so treat this as a starting point rather than a market rate.
