Tampa specifics
St. Augustine grows so aggressively in Tampa's June–September wet season that skipping a week almost guarantees a $15–$25 "double-cut" surcharge on the next visit. Most Tampa pros switch to biweekly November–February dormancy pricing (~30% off), which residents moving from northern metros don't always expect on their annual quote.

FAQs
How much does weekly lawn care cost in Tampa?
$45–$110 per visit — median around $62 for a small-to-medium lot. Larger yards (12,000+ sq ft) with full service (mow + edge + trim + blow) push toward the top of the range.
Why does my Tampa lawn need weekly service in summer?
St. Augustine + subtropical rain = ridiculous growth June through September. Missing a week means the next visit is a "double cut" that stresses the grass and typically carries a $15–$25 surcharge. Weekly is the actual minimum in wet season, not a premium tier.
What does a full lawn program cost annually in Tampa?
$2,100–$4,200 for a standard lot including mow + fertilize + pest (chinch bug and gray leaf spot are the two St. Augustine killers) + edging. The higher end includes palm-frond cleanup and irrigation-system checks.
Do Tampa lawn crews service in winter?
Yes but at reduced cadence — most switch to biweekly November through February at ~30% off the peak-season rate. Growth stops or slows dramatically in cool months. If your crew wants full weekly pricing year-round, push back.
How much does St. Augustine grass treatment cost?
Chinch bug treatment: $45–$85 per visit for a small-to-medium lawn. Gray leaf spot fungicide: $65–$120 per application. Both are add-ons to a base lawn program and typically run 3-6 times per year for at-risk lawns.
