Jacksonville Pro Landscape mows lawns and handles routine lawn care for homes and commercial properties across Jacksonville, FL. Our crews give steady, reliable service that keeps your lawn healthy through Northeast Florida’s long growing season.

Jacksonville’s humid climate keeps your lawn growing nearly all year. St. Augustine is the main grass in Duval County, then Bahia, Bermuda, and Zoysia. Each needs a different mowing height, and cutting too low is the fastest way to hurt a lawn here. St. Augustine should stay at 3.5 to 4.5 inches. Cutting below 3 inches bares the roots and opens the lawn to chinch bugs, the top pest for St. Augustine in Northeast Florida. Bahia does best at 3 to 4 inches and takes drought better than St. Augustine in full sun. Bermuda thrives at 1 to 2 inches and bounces back from heavy traffic. Zoysia holds well at 2 to 3 inches and takes part shade better than Bermuda.

Our team knows which grass is on your lawn and cuts it to the right height every visit. We do not guess, and we do not run every lawn at one setting.

Weekly and Bi-Weekly Mowing — Steady schedules from March through November, with less often in winter. Every visit includes mowing, edging along all driveways and walkways, trimming around obstacles and landscape beds, and blowing clippings off all hard surfaces.

Seasonal Adjustments — In Jacksonville’s rainy season, June through September, growth speeds up fast. Some St. Augustine lawns need mowing every 5 days at peak. We adjust the schedule and keep you posted, so your lawn never gets ahead of us. In winter, we mow less and shift to bed care and leaf cleanup.

Mowing Pattern Rotation — We change our mowing pattern each visit to stop soil packing and ruts. This matters in Jacksonville’s sandy soil, which packs differently than clay and shows wear fast.

St. Augustine — 3.5 to 4.5 inches. Never cut below 3 inches. A higher cut is the best defense against chinch bugs in Duval County.

Bahia — 3 to 4 inches. Takes drought and sandy soil better than St. Augustine. Mow often to stop seed heads.

Bermuda — 1 to 2 inches. A fast grower that needs frequent mowing in summer. Best for high-traffic areas and full sun.

Zoysia — 2 to 3 inches. Grows slower than Bermuda, takes part shade, and forms dense turf that resists weeds on its own.

Home lawn mowing in Jacksonville runs $40 to $120 per visit by lot size. Most standard quarter-acre lots run $40 to $65 for weekly service. Bigger lots in Ponte Vedra, Fleming Island, and Mandarin with a half-acre or more run $65 to $120 per visit. Bi-weekly costs more per visit because the grass is taller and takes longer to cut.

A Jacksonville commercial mowing estimate should use measured turf, frontage, obstacles, access windows, trimming load, debris expectations, and the requested service calendar. Require a Jacksonville scope that separates recurring visit tasks, optional work, reporting, and change approval.

Jacksonville mowing proposals should describe the measured turf area, access limits, obstacles, requested visit pattern, edging boundaries, and cleanup choice; the written quote can then price the documented scope without a generic lot-size promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Divide the property into numbered work zones and attach measurements, photos, access notes and visible conditions to each zone. Every lawn-mowing scope line item can then identify exactly where it applies.

Write protection and removal first, preparation second, installation or service work third, and testing and cleanup last. If a site finding could change that order, identify the decision point in advance.

Quantities, disposal, equipment access, restoration, exclusions and final testing should be explicit. An item that is not written into the scope should not be assumed to be included.
