- Per-visit mowing bands come from Boston-area per-cut pricing by lot size and assume regularly maintained turf — an overgrown first cut prices higher.
- The season toggle multiplies by ~26 weekly visits (April–October); biweekly schedules halve the visit count but per-visit prices tick up.
- The full-service band reflects typical 1/8–1/2 acre lots; acre-plus properties should expect the top of the band and beyond.
- Cleanup bands are wide because leaf volume and bed count dominate: a small open lot books near the low end, heavily treed lots push the top.
- Sod, shrub, and tree figures quoted in the FAQ are national; Boston-area pricing typically lands 15–25% above them.

What drives the price
Lot size and terrain
Acreage sets the base rate, but terrain moves crews' time: slopes, narrow side-yard gates that force a push mower, and scattered beds or play sets all slow a visit down. Two 1/4-acre lots in Rollinsford can price a tier apart on layout alone.
Per-cut versus a season commitment
Crews build weekly routes, and a committed slot on the route is worth more to them than a one-off cut — which is why per-visit prices firm up with a season agreement and why one-time cuts often carry a premium. If you're comparing quotes, compare the full ~26-visit season, not a single visit.
Mowing-only versus full-service
The $75–$110 full-service visit buys the whole checklist — edging, weeding, blowing, bed touch-ups — not just turf. If you're paying the mowing-only rate and adding à-la-carte extras most weeks, the bundled rate usually wins. Get the included list in writing; "full service" varies by company.
Cleanups are about volume
The spread on cleanups ($150–$850 spring, $200–$1,200 fall) is almost entirely leaf and debris volume: mature tree cover, bed count, and whether debris is hauled or left curbside. A crew that sees the property before quoting will land closer to the final number than a phone estimate.

Landscaping cost questions, answered
- How much does lawn mowing cost in Rollinsford?
- Per-visit mowing in Rollinsford runs $38–$50 for a 1/8-acre city lot, $50–$69 for a 1/4 acre, $69–$88 for a 1/2 acre, and $106–$125 for a full acre. That covers mowing, trimming, and blowing off the hard surfaces — most crews price by the visit on a weekly or biweekly route rather than by the hour.
- How much does a season of lawn care cost in Rollinsford?
- The Rollinsford mowing season is roughly 26 weekly visits, April through October. On a 1/4-acre lot that's $1,300–$1,800 for mowing only, or about $2,000–$2,900 at the full-service rate of $75–$110 per visit. Year-round contracts that fold in cleanups and bed care typically land between $2,170 and $4,340.
- What do spring and fall cleanups cost?
- Spring cleanups run $150–$850 in the Rollinsford area, with about $285 typical — debris, first edging, bed prep. Fall cleanups run $200–$1,200 with $400–$600 typical, because leaf volume drives the bill: a lot under mature oaks and maples can take multiple visits. Ask whether curbside pickup or full haul-away is included; hauling costs more.
- How much does mulch cost installed in Rollinsford?
- Installed mulch runs $80–$150 per cubic yard in Rollinsford, with $100–$130 typical — that's material, delivery, and spreading. One yard covers about 100 sq ft at 3 inches deep, so a typical foundation-bed refresh of 3–5 yards costs $240–$750. Edging the beds first is often a separate line worth confirming.
- What about sod, shrubs, and new plantings?
- Those are project quotes rather than maintenance lines. Nationally, sod runs $1–$3.50 per sq ft installed, shrubs $25–$200 each, and planted trees $200–$700 depending on caliper — and Rollinsford pricing typically lands 15–25% above national figures. For a full re-landscape, get an itemized design-and-install bid; per-plant math stops working past a few beds.
