Greater Houston coverage
Mowing, feeding, weed control, clean-ups and landscaping projects in Houston, booked as one appointment on one call.
Homeowners in Houston, TX book lawn care and landscaping here for a simple reason: the contractors are local to Greater Houston, where yards are St. Augustine on dense gumbo clay that drains slowly and stays wet after storms. LawnBooked coverage in Houston covers 14 ZIP codes (77024, 77041, 77042, 77043), and the surrounding covered cities, Katy, TX, Dallas, TX, Irving, TX, share the same crews and the same seasonal calendar.
Houston is the largest covered city in Greater Houston on this site, with 14 ZIP codes in the booking area. Coverage follows contractor routes, not city limits, so a street on the edge of a listed ZIP is worth a call to confirm.
Good Houston landscaping accepts wet clay as the starting point and designs around it instead of pretending the soil drains like sand. Beds do better slightly raised, with planting pockets loosened and enriched so roots can establish before they meet the heavier native soil. Choose trees and shrubs known to tolerate periodic wet feet, give hard surfaces a clear pitch away from the house, and use mulch to soften heavy rain impact on bare soil. When drainage, plant choice, and surface grading work together, a yard can handle Gulf rain without constant repair.
Yards in Houston follow the Greater Houston rhythm: gray leaf spot in summer humidity; chinch bugs in hot, dry St. Augustine; dollarweed colonising lawns that stay wet. Left alone, each tends to widen: thin areas invite weeds, stressed grass invites pests, and tired soil makes both worse. The contractors who work Houston build the visit around the dominant problem first, then set the maintenance rhythm that keeps it from returning.
Two umbrella services cover most Houston calls. Lawn care in Houston handles the recurring work, and landscaping in Houston handles projects. Underneath them sit the nine individual services:
$45-$95 per visit

$1,800-$12,000 per project
$180-$1,400 per plant installed
$180-$650 per job
$300-$2,500 per design
Lines are open open 9am-5pm cst, mon-sun. A short call covers the service, the yard and the timing, and ends with an appointment booked with a local contractor, not a promise to ring back.
Houston lawns grow nearly year-round, so mowing rhythm, fungus watch and drainage drive the calendar. In Houston that calendar is not academic. Work booked in the right window costs less and lasts longer, because the grass does half the job itself when the season is on its side. With Houston rainfall, the skill is drainage and restraint: more lawns suffer from staying wet than from going thirsty. Your contractor will set the visit timing against the Greater Houston season rather than a national schedule, and will tell you plainly if the job you want belongs in a different month.
Regular lawn mowing at the right height keeps the canopy open enough to dry, and a sharp blade makes a clean cut that heals faster. Mowing a wet lawn, scalping it short, or leaving heavy clippings matted on the surface all raise disease risk in Houston humidity. Morning watering plus correct mowing height is a simple, effective pairing.
At peak growth a St Augustine lawn in Houston may need lawn mowing about once a week, and sometimes a little sooner after rain and feeding. The safer guide is growth, not the calendar: cut before more than one third of the blade would come off. In dry or stressed spells growth slows and the interval can stretch.
Keep St Augustine tall, generally around 3 to 4 inches, and a little taller in shade. That height shades the crowns and soil, helps the lawn compete with weeds, and reduces stress in heat and humidity. Cutting it short is one of the fastest ways to thin a Houston lawn.
Start fertilization after the lawn has greened up and has been mowed a couple of times, not on the first warm day. Feeding too early pushes growth the roots cannot support and can feed weeds before the turf is ready. A soil test is a sensible guide in Houston clay, where nutrient levels vary a lot from yard to yard.
Most Houston lawns do well with applications spread across the active growing season, rather than one heavy dose. The long season means small, spaced feeding matches how St Augustine actually grows here. Ease off as fall cools down, because late, heavy feeding can raise the risk of brown patch in damp weather.
