As a Phoenix homeowner, you already know that lawn service in Phoenix is an entirely different animal than in most parts of the country. The extended growing season, combined with intense summer conditions, make for unique challenges in the Valley of the Sun. It also makes for near constant and weekly yard maintenance. And one thing Phoenix homeowners do have in common with other homeowners around the country is that many of them work hard enough at their 9-to-5 that they don't relish the extra time and effort it takes for home maintenance, especially work that entails being outdoors in the fierce elements of the Phoenix climate.

Lawn Service in Phoenix, AZ
By the end of February, where many places are still buried under snowfall and watching the thermometer dipping near zero, you need to be applying weed treatments to snuff out this Phoenix lawn nuisance. From there, lawn maintenance becomes a consistent chore, including fertilizer, pest treatments, watering, edging, and, of course, mowing. This type of diligence minimizes the risk of the always lurking lawn fungus or disease, and homeowners looking for lawn service in Phoenix can just as likely be looking for professional help in saving their lawn as they are maintaining it. Whatever the cost of Phoenix lawn maintenance, it's essentially guaranteed to be cheaper than replacing it (average cost of re-sodding: $2,300). Particularly, if your schedule makes proper lawn care all but impossible, or if you simply want to reclaim lost recreational hours, hiring a Phoenix lawn service company can be a wise decision that requires no shame or hesitation.

Cost of Phoenix Lawn Care
The extended growing season naturally leads to greater lawn care needs and correspondingly higher costs. Of course, it also makes annual service more sensible and dramatically reduces the per-visit cost of Phoenix lawn service. Different schedules of service render the average cost of lawn service ($285) a somewhat meaningless figure. Specific feedback from Phoenix homeowners generates more revealing estimates of how much your Phoenix lawn care might cost. One homeowner told us that she pays $150/month for her service. Another homeowner hired a one-time, "spring cleaning" lawn service and paid $450 for comprehensive lawn preparation, while another homeowner chose a one-time service package that cost $300. Overall, the numbers range from $49 to as much as $900.
