First Coast Outdoor Care
Last updated:
Most Jacksonville homeowners spend between $3,000 and $25,000 on landscaping in 2026, with routine lawn care at $30 to $55 per mow and a paver patio or pool deck at $15 to $30 per square foot. Search demand is rising fast: search impressions for this site grew about 311% from mid May to late June 2026. Here’s the full breakdown, drawn from our own published pricing and our own search and call data.
What landscaping costs in Jacksonville in 2026
Jacksonville budgets swing widely because the work does too. A biweekly mow on a flat lot is a different project than a designed backyard with a paver pool deck, new irrigation, and salt-tolerant coastal planting near the beaches. Per our published Jacksonville cost guide, here’s where 2026 pricing lands:
– Overall project range: most homeowners spend $3,000 to $25,000, and fully designed yards reach $30,000 and up – Lawn mowing: $30 to $55 per visit, weekly in the growing season and biweekly in the cooler months – Full-season lawn care program (mowing, fertilization, weed control, pest treatment): $1,400 to $3,200 a year – New sprinkler system (6 to 8 zones): $2,200 to $5,000, usually $450 to $800 per zone – St. Augustine sod, installed: $1.40 to $2.90 per square foot, so a 2,000-square-foot front yard typically lands between $2,800 and $5,800 – Planting and bed installation: $2,000 to $7,500 for a full front-yard refresh – Paver patio or pool deck: $15 to $30 per square foot installed, with concrete at $8 to $18 and travertine at $20 to $40
The local cost drivers are sandy, slightly acidic soil that drains fast and needs steady feeding, a long growing season, salt air near the water that narrows the plant list, and district watering-day limits that shape irrigation design. Jacksonville lawns are warm-season grasses, mostly St. Augustine, with chinch bugs and fungus as the main threats in our humidity.
Search demand trend
We track how often this site appears in Google search results as a proxy for local landscaping demand. Here’s the weekly impressions curve from mid May through early July 2026:
| Week starting | Impressions |
|---|---|
| 2026-05-10 | 37 |
| 2026-05-17 | 62 |
| 2026-05-24 | 27 |
| 2026-05-31 | 20 |
| 2026-06-07 | 18 |
| 2026-06-14 | 38 |
| 2026-06-21 | 202 |
| 2026-06-28 | 342 |
| 2026-07-05 | 14 (partial week) |
The trend is strongly up. The first four full weeks totaled 146 impressions; the last four completed weeks totaled 600, a rise of about 311%. The curve was flat through May, then bent sharply upward in the second half of June, with the week of June 28 hitting 342 impressions, the highest of the whole window. One caveat: the final row covers only the first days of July and isn’t comparable to full weeks, so we exclude it from the trend math. The growth came off a modest base, so we’d call this an early acceleration rather than a mature trend, but the direction is clear.
What homeowners search for
No single commercial search term dominated our Jacksonville data this period. Instead, search interest was spread across a long tail of specific queries rather than concentrating on a few head terms. That’s a normal pattern when visibility is growing quickly from a smaller base, and it means the demand curve above reflects many different homeowner questions (pricing, individual services, seasonal timing) rather than one big keyword. We’ll report named terms once individual queries accumulate enough volume to be meaningful.
Phone inquiry snapshot
Our call tracking went live on June 4, 2026, so we only have a partial month of phone data and the sample is small. In that first June window we received a handful of inquiries, all of which were answered, and early July has already matched June’s total in its first few days. We’re not going to build conclusions on a few weeks of calls, but the early July pace lines up with the late-June rise in search visibility. Treat this as a baseline for the October refresh, when a full quarter of call data will be available.
Frequently asked questions
How much does landscaping cost in Jacksonville in 2026?
Per our published Jacksonville cost guide, most homeowners spend between $3,000 and $25,000 depending on scope. Mowing runs $30 to $55 per visit, a new sprinkler system runs $2,200 to $5,000, St. Augustine sod runs $1.40 to $2.90 per square foot installed, and a paver patio or pool deck runs $15 to $30 per square foot. Fully designed yards reach $30,000 and up.
When is the best time to book landscaping work in Jacksonville?
Our cost guide points to spring and early summer for new sod and warm-season planting, when grass roots fastest, and to the drier fall and winter for hardscape, irrigation, and tree work. Because the area can see a light winter freeze, tender tropicals should wait until after the last cold snap.
Is landscaping demand rising in Jacksonville?
Yes. Search impressions for this site rose about 311% from the first four weeks of our tracking window (mid May 2026) to the last four completed weeks (through late June), with nearly all of the growth arriving in the second half of June. Early phone inquiry activity in July is consistent with that rise, though the call sample is still too small to lean on.
Method note
The numbers in this report come from three sources: this site’s own call tracking (live since June 4, 2026, so the June phone sample is small), Google Search Console impression data for this site covering 2026-05-10 through 2026-07-05, and this site’s own published Jacksonville cost guide. Everything reported here is an aggregate; no personal information about callers or searchers is collected or published. Next refresh: October 2026.

Methodology
Data window: 2026-05-10 through the week of 2026-06-28 (completed weeks only; the current partial week is excluded from all trend math). Sources: this site’s Google Search Console impressions (weekly totals for this domain only), this business’s call-tracking line (inbound call counts, aggregates only, live since 2026-06-04), and our published Jacksonville cost guide for all price figures. Trend percentages compare the first four completed weeks of the window against the last four. Where a sample is small (for example, a first month of call tracking), the report says so rather than extrapolating. No personal information is collected or reported; all figures are aggregates. Compiled by Jacksonville Pro Landscape; next scheduled refresh: October 2026.
