Four steps. The price comes first; after that it is a weekly route and a calendar.

  1. 1. Tell us about the yard

    The address, roughly how big the lot is (city lot, corner lot, acreage), and what you want: weekly mowing, a fertilizer and weed program, aeration, a cleanup, or all of it. Mention anything the mower should avoid: a soft spot, a dog run, a new bed.

  2. 2. Get a written price

    We replies with a price per visit or per season. On a typical quarter-acre Janesville lot, mowing runs $39 to $55 a cut and a fertilizer program $250 to $550 a season. Nothing is scheduled until you say yes.

  3. 3. On a weekly route

    Mowed at 2.5 to 3.5 inches, never more than a third of the blade at a cut, with the trimming and edging done and the clippings blown back onto the lawn, not into the street.

  4. 4. The seasonal work, on time

    Feedings on the Wisconsin calendar with early September the most important, aeration and seed by early September, and leaves cleaned up around the city's pickup window.

The dates and rules that drive the timing

  • April 26 to October 23: Rock County's average mowing season, from the last spring freeze to the first hard freeze. See lawn mowing.
  • Early September: the most important feeding of the year and the deadline for overseeding. See the Rock County lawn calendar.
  • November 9 to 20, 2026: Janesville's loose leaf pickup, with leaves in the gutter no earlier than October 1. See leaf and yard waste pickup.
  • 12 inches: Janesville's cap on grass and weeds, with a 7-day re-inspection after a notice. See the tall grass ordinance.

What helps the quote

  • Lot size, and whether it is a corner lot with two terrace strips.
  • Fences, beds and trees that need trimming around.
  • How long it has been since the last cut, if the lawn has gotten away.
  • Whether you want the clippings mulched in or bagged, and leaves hauled or raked to the curb.

Every price range is on the cost page.
