What Affects Your Price
The single biggest factor is lot size — specifically, the total square footage of maintained turf. Other variables include terrain complexity (slopes, obstacles, narrow gates), grass height at service time, number of garden beds requiring trimming, and your regional market. In the Greater Toronto Area and Vancouver, where operating costs are higher, expect prices toward the upper end. In prairie cities like Winnipeg, Saskatoon, and Regina, prices tend to be lower.
Seasonal Packages — Best Value
Most homeowners find the best value in a seasonal maintenance package. Bundling weekly mowing with fertilization and cleanups saves 10–15% compared to individual bookings. Our most popular package — Standard tier — runs approximately $150–$300 per month and covers weekly mowing, fertilization, and one seasonal cleanup. Fixed monthly billing spreads the cost evenly for predictable budgeting.
Per-Visit vs Seasonal Contracts
| Factor | Per-Visit | Seasonal Contract |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per mow | $35–$75 | $33–$68 (5–10% less) |
| Scheduling | On-demand | Priority, same day weekly |
| Billing | Per service | Fixed monthly |
| Commitment | None | April–October season |
