Tired of being told your mow was rescheduled? Or, are you ready to finally outsource the lawn? When it comes to maintaining a beautiful outdoor space in Dallas, finding the right landscaping professionals can make all the difference. Clean cuts, and reliable service days are what separate good lawncare companies from great ones.

We recommend North Dallas Landscapes and S&A Landscaping for weekly or bi-weekly lawncare service. Their teams show up reliably on their mow service days, they stand behind their work, and they can handle other to-do's around the lawn like irrigation and perennial installs.

HOMR provides users with 2 free lawn cuts with a HOMR membership so they can test out our recommendations.

No contracts, no cancellation fees. Service is paid in advance - cancellation before full payment will result in a balance due of pest control treatment ONLY.

The Data & Research: Why You Should Trust Us

HOMR's scheduled over 1,000 lawn maintenance projects with 10 different lawn care companies in North Dallas, Highland Park, Lake Highlands and Preston Hollow. 

We’ve handled 35 pre and post-emergent treatments and completed 2 full sod installs of Bermuda grass and St. Augustine. Our home management concierge team scheduled various repairs to sprinkler and irrigation systems when necessary.

We needed a framework to analyze this data set, so we spent a great deal of time interacting with the Dallas lawn care industry.

We reached out to the top ranked lawn care teams on Angi, HomeAdvisor, and Thumbtack. We asked them a series of questions and tested their services. We asked them about their warranties, service offerings, and how they handle customer service issues.

Finally, our team chatted with the local area manager for TruGreen's commercial services. We asked about the most common treatments used on lawns, what's effective in North Dallas and what isn't worth messing with for the average homeowner.

After these steps, we were ready to narrow our focus and select HOMR featured partners for Dallas lawn maintenance service.

How We Selected a Dallas Lawn Care Service

Our research shows most Dallas homeowners prefer a full service lawn care company. There are many great providers that just do mowing, irrigation, or installs — but coordinating them becomes frustrating over time. 

Additionally, many of the “grass only” companies that we looked at had higher pricing than their equivalent full-service counterparts.

Telling your lawn care company to mulch the beds during clean up or fix a broken sprinkler head during the weekly service ended up being so convenient that we eliminated companies from our selection that only did one element of lawn care.

There are many lawn care companies that operate without insurance. Because insurance can protect your home from damage (and is so cheap and easy for most companies to get), we strongly prefer companies with insurance.

Finally, we looked for companies that had prices within a market band for the neighborhood they served. Any companies that were significantly overpriced compared to their competitors were eliminated from our offerings. 

Green Flags 

  • Full-Service Lawn Care (cutting, irrigation, installs)
  • Dallas Landscape Association Members
  • Transparent Pricing
  • Insured Companies

Red Flags

  • Spotty Reliability & Communication
  • Unkempt Lawn and Garden Areas
  • Unfamiliar with Local Tree & Plant Species
  • Above Average Rates

Our Picks for Dallas Lawn Maintenance

After 1,000+ lawn care appointments, multiple interviews, and feedback from our HOMR members, we selected our top 2 Dallas lawn care providers.

We're proud to call them our HOMR featured partners. Let's introduce you to North Dallas Landscapes and S&A Landscaping.

North Dallas Landscapes

North Dallas Landscapes has served Dallas area homeowners since 1993. Led by Jake O'Brien, the current management team was all born and raised in Dallas.

“We live where we work,” Jake O'Brien says. “It helps us understand the long-term value we can bring to people.”

We were impressed by Jake's ability to answer every lawn care question we had in tremendous detail. We like his desire to help Dallas homeowners learn more about their own yards and create annual working relationships with clients.

Why We Like Them: 

North Dallas Landscapes is transparent with both their pricing and their knowledge. They form long-term relationships with clients and happily pass along lawn care expertise to homeowners. 

Non-Negotiables: 

We like that North Dallas Landscapes is family-operated with deep roots in the Dallas community. They have industry-leading expertise in local plants and lawn care, and provide free quotes to prospective customers.

S&A Landscaping

S&A Landscaping is a local Dallas landscaping business. Founded in 2022, S&A is a team of highly experienced local professionals who ensure your lawn care maintenance is done right. 

Manuel (S&A Landscaping's owner) recommends working with service providers who focus on the health of the entire lawn (not just mowing). This includes proper equipment and fertilization techniques and providing unique consultations for each specific homeowner.

Why We Like Them:

S&A Landscaping is a full-service landscaping service provider that can handle anything from irrigation repairs to installs to regular maintenance. They are well-known for being highly responsive and communicative with customers.

What Drives Lawn Care Costs?

The only thing better than having a green lawn is saving money in the process. We asked local service providers what drives Dallas lawn care costs, and how homeowners can budget better.

We identified 6 key factors driving lawn maintenance costs in Dallas service areas:

  • Yard Size. This one's pretty obvious — the bigger the yard, the higher the cost. But what's a reasonable price per square foot? Here's a handy chart of average lawn mowing costs based on yard size.
Lawncare costs in North Dallas: Averages from HOMR's data

  • Frequency of Mowing and Care. How often should you mow your lawn? Experts suggest lawn mowing once per week during growing months — but don't cut too low. Keep some length and your grass stays healthy, which saves money.
  • Complex Landscaping. Intricate landscaping features like expansive flower beds, hedges and hardscaping can increase your bills with service providers. Be sure to account for shrub care and tree maintenance as well.
  • Irrigation Needs. “Sun exposure and water account for 90% of all lawn care issues,” Jake O'Brien at North Dallas Landscapes says. “Pay attention to how much sun and water your plants are getting. It's simple, but a lot of people don't think about it.”
  • Weather Conditions. Dallas has experienced an upswing in freezing events over the last few winters. Be sure to protect your lawn and outdoor plants during winter months so you don't have to pay to replace them. 
  • Types of Plants. Ask your lawn care provider about the right types of plants for your yard. Save money by selecting native plants, then placing them in the proper areas — shade plants in the shade, full sun plants in bright areas. 

Conclusion

The best Dallas lawn care providers bring a blend of area expertise, transparent pricing, and a desire to form long-term relationships with you to handle your landscaping needs.

They're a lot like HOMR, really. Our home management concierge team is here for you, 24/7. We take care of every step of your home management process — rely on us to research, recommend and schedule all your home service providers.
