Lawn care prices in Ottawa, every price on one page.
Lawn care prices Ottawa homeowners can compare are hard to find, because many lawn companies only quote over the phone. Here is what every BlueGuard service costs, by lot size, before you talk to anyone. All prices are plus tax.

What changes the price
Why lawn care cost differs from lawn to lawn.
- 1Lawn areaThe biggest factor. We price by the grass, front and back, not by the size of the house.
- 2Obstacles and edgesBeds, trees, play sets and long fence lines all add trimming time.
- 3Slopes and accessSteep banks, ditches and narrow gates slow the crew and can need smaller equipment.
- 4ConditionA first cut on an overgrown lawn, or a yard that skipped last year’s clean-up, takes longer.

Guide
Lawn care prices Ottawa homeowners pay, added up over a season.
When you add up lawn care prices Ottawa homes pay in a year, most of the total is mowing. Weekly cuts run from early May to the end of October, so lawn mowing prices matter more than any single visit. Clean-ups, aeration and feeding are one-off visits on top, booked when the lawn needs them.
How often the grass is cut moves the lawn care prices Ottawa families pay more than anything else, so the easiest way to lower your lawn care cost is to pick the right schedule. A shaded or slow lawn often looks fine on a cut every two weeks, which halves the visits over a season. A sunny lawn in June usually needs a weekly cut, or the next one takes longer and the grass is stressed.
Your price is set in writing before the first visit, and you pay only for visits that happen. If a dry July means we skip two weeks, those cuts are not billed. The quote page shows your price for your lot size and the services you pick, plus tax for your address.
There are no fixed lawn care packages to sort through. You choose a mowing plan, then add only the seasonal visits your yard needs, such as a spring clean-up or aeration in the fall. That way the lawn care prices Ottawa neighbours see on this page are the same ones on your quote.
