Where these companies are
When to book lawn care in Houston
Houston sits in the South Central climate region, which runs warm-season lawns. Last frost usually falls February 1-March 1 and first frost November 15-December 15, and that pair sets every date below.
Grasses that do well here
- Bermudagrass
- St. Augustinegrass
- Zoysiagrass
- Buffalograss
- Bahiagrass
| Task | Local window | Why then |
|---|---|---|
| Seed, sod, or sprig | Late May through July | Warm-season grass needs soil above 65 degrees to take hold. |
| Fertilize | April through August | Stop feeding roughly a month before the first expected frost. |
| Core aerate | May through July | Aerate while the lawn is actively growing so it fills the holes back in. |
| Pre-emergent for crabgrass | February 1 - March 1 | Go by soil temperature: apply before it holds 55 degrees. |
Problems local crews deal with most: Extreme heat, drought, fire ants.

Lawn care in Houston: common questions
How many lawn care companies are there in Houston?
We list 13 companies serving Houston that offer lawn care. Compare the attributed Google ratings rather than any single score, check the company actually lists lawn care rather than assuming it, and get two quotes for the same scope.
How much does lawn care cost in Houston?
Typical Houston bands: lawn mowing $44 to $67 per visit, edging and trimming $13 to $20 per visit, fertilizer application $14 to $22 per 1,000 sq ft. These are bands rather than averages because a real quote depends on lot size, slope and how far the crew drives, and a full-season contract almost always beats per-visit pricing.
Does a lawn care company need a licence in Texas?
Yes. Applying herbicides, insecticides or fungicides on someone else's property for payment requires a commercial pesticide applicator licence issued by Texas. Ask the company for its licence number directly: we have no public register for this state to check it against for you.
When should I book lawn care in Houston?
Book two to three weeks ahead of the window, not inside it. In Houston that means seed, sod, or sprig late may through july; fertilize april through august; core aerate may through july; pre-emergent for crabgrass february 1 - march 1. Those dates come from the South Central climate record, and the weeks before them are the busiest stretch of the year for local crews.
