Lawn Mowing Services in San Antonio, TX


lawn mowing service san antonio tx

San Antonio Pro Landscape provides reliable, professional lawn mowing services for residential and commercial properties throughout San Antonio and Bexar County. Our crews arrive on schedule, cut to the correct height for your specific grass type, edge every line cleanly, and leave your property looking sharp on every single visit — not just the first one.

What Is Included in Every Mowing Visit

Every mowing visit covers the full scope of what your lawn needs to look maintained and professional. We cut your lawn to the optimal height for your grass variety — 3.5 to 4 inches for St. Augustine, 1.5 to 2.5 inches for Bermuda, and 2 to 3 inches for Zoysia. We string-trim around all fence lines, landscape beds, trees, mailboxes, and structures the mower cannot reach cleanly. We edge driveways and sidewalks for a sharp, defined border that elevates the entire appearance of the property. We blow all clippings off driveways, walkways, and patios before we leave. And we rotate our mowing pattern on each visit to prevent soil compaction and eliminate the worn ruts that single-direction mowing creates over time.

San Antonio’s Lawn Care Calendar: What Changes by Season

San Antonio’s hot semi-arid climate means grass never fully stops growing, but growth rates vary significantly through the year and your mowing schedule should reflect that. St. Augustine and Bermuda break dormancy in mid-March as soil temperatures climb above 60 degrees. Growth accelerates through April and peaks from May through September when weekly mowing is essential — skip a week during peak growing season and you end up with grass too tall for a clean single pass. As temperatures drop in October and November, growth slows and bi-weekly service becomes appropriate for most properties. December through February is the lowest-maintenance period for warm-season grasses, though mild San Antonio winters mean growth never fully stops the way it does in northern markets.

St. Augustine vs. Bermuda vs. Zoysia: Mowing Needs Compared

The grass type on your San Antonio property directly determines how and how often we mow. St. Augustine should never be cut below 3 inches during summer — cutting short in July and August heat stresses the plant, thins the canopy, and opens the door for chinch bugs and dollar weed. Bermuda tolerates and actually benefits from a shorter cut at 1.5 to 2 inches, which keeps it dense and competitive against weeds. Zoysia is the most forgiving of the three — it grows more slowly than Bermuda and holds its appearance between cuts better than St. Augustine in drought conditions. If you are unsure what grass you have, our crew will identify it on the first visit and adjust service accordingly. We also offer custom landscape design for homeowners looking to redesign their yards with drought-tolerant plants and native species.

Our Lawn Mowing Schedule for Bexar County Properties

We offer weekly and bi-weekly mowing schedules for residential properties throughout San Antonio. For most actively growing yards in Bexar County, we recommend weekly service from March through October and bi-weekly service from November through February. Properties with St. Augustine in shaded areas sometimes benefit from bi-weekly service even in summer because reduced sunlight slows growth. We assess your specific property and recommend the right frequency — we are not interested in scheduling visits you do not need.

Lawn Mowing Pricing in San Antonio

Residential mowing in San Antonio starts at $45 per visit for standard lots under 5,000 square feet. Properties between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet typically run $55 to $75 per visit. We also offer landscape and hardscape services for properties that need more than mowing. Larger properties and acreage are priced by the lot. Properties in Helotes and other semi-rural areas with larger lots receive custom pricing based on size and access. Commercial properties receive contract pricing based on total square footage and service frequency. Bi-weekly visits are priced slightly higher per visit than weekly service because longer grass requires more time to cut cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

During the active growing season from March through October, most San Antonio lawns need weekly mowing. St. Augustine and Bermuda grow aggressively in the summer heat and will look overgrown within 7 days. From November through February, bi-weekly mowing is sufficient for most properties. We adjust your schedule seasonally, so you are never paying for visits you do not need.

St. Augustine should be maintained at 3.5 to 4 inches — cutting shorter in summer heat causes stress, thinning, and weed invasion. Bermuda performs best at 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Zoysia should be kept at 2 to 3 inches. Our crews know these heights and adjust for your specific grass type on every visit.

Residential mowing starts at $45 per visit for lots under 5,000 square feet. Mid-size properties between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet run $55 to $75 per visit. Larger lots and acreage receive custom pricing. Weekly service is priced lower per visit than bi-weekly because shorter grass requires less time to cut cleanly.

Browning after mowing is almost always caused by cutting too short. St. Augustine lawns in San Antonio should never be cut below 3 inches during summer — removing more than one-third of the blade height at once shocks the plant and causes browning. Dull mower blades also tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which causes brown tips. Our crews maintain sharp blades and cut to the correct height for your grass type on every visit.
