Prices for TruGreen annual lawn care plans vary by lawn size, service frequency, and regional needs. This article breaks down cost ranges, common components, and ways to control the price while keeping lawn health in focus. The price you pay hinges on grass type, yard size, soil conditions, and your chosen service tier.
| Item | Low | Average | High | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Annual plan price | $250 | $350 | $600 | Includes seasonal applications and basic weed control |
| Per-treatment cost (one visit) | $60 | $90 | $150 | Depends on lawn size and region |
| Lawn size threshold (pricing tier) | up to 4,000 sq ft | 4,000–7,500 sq ft | 7,500+ sq ft | Tier affects frequency and products |
| Seasonal treatments (per year) | 4 | 6 | 8+ | Includes fertilization and broadleaf weed control |

Typical total price for a TruGreen annual lawn care plan
Average total price is usually between $350 and $500 per year, with regional variation pushing costs higher in the Northeast or drought-prone areas. Assumptions: standard 4,000–6,000 sq ft lawn, typical soil, and a mid-tier service package.
For small yards under 4,000 sq ft, the plan often lands near the low end, around $250–$350 annually, while larger or more complex lawns can exceed $600 annually when extra services or specialty products are added.
| Cost component | Typical range | What affects it | Per-unit basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Materials (fertilizer, weed control) | $80–$260 | Lawn size, turf type, pest pressure | Per application or per 1,000 sq ft |
| Labor (application labor) | $60–$120 per visit | Crew size, travel time, accessibility | Per visit |
| Equipment usage | $15–$40 per visit | Company fleet, safety gear | Per visit |
| Soil amendments | $20–$90 | Soil test results, lime or sulfur needs | Per acre or per 1,000 sq ft |
| Service tier (premium options) | $0–$200 | Add-ons like insect control, deeper fertilization | Flat or per-visit |
Assumptions: Midwest labor rates, standard materials, normal access.
Lawn size and treatment frequency are the biggest levers. A 7,000–8,000 sq ft yard with 6–8 seasonal visits can push yearly costs toward the high end. A smaller yard with 4 visits sits near the low end. Regional climate affects product selection, influencing price by 5–20% between humid southern zones and cooler northern regions.
Prices tend to be higher in regions with longer growing seasons or more pest pressure. In the Southeast, plan pricing commonly lands in the $350–$550 range, while the Midwest may settle around $300–$450. The Pacific Northwest sometimes reaches $400–$600 due to soil and moisture considerations.
Typical per-visit costs run $60–$150, varying with square footage. For 2,500 sq ft, several providers may bundle four to six visits for $250–$400 annually; for 6,500 sq ft, expect closer to $350–$600 as coverage expands and more product is used.
Choosing a mid-tier plan with weed control and fertilization typically adds $100–$200 to yearly costs compared to base fertilizer-only plans. Premium add-ons, such as insect screening or disease protection, can push annual totals higher by $150–$300.
Bundle visits by scheduling for the full growing season to avoid separate service charges. Use a single plan that covers fertilization and broadleaf weed control instead of separate add-ons. Consider temporary reductions in service frequency during cooler months or drought conditions to reduce cost without immediate lawn risk.
Below are representative figures to help budget. Assumptions: standard soil, typical access, and regional pricing around the continental U.S.
| Lawn Size | Service Tier | Annual Plan | Per-Visit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 4,000 sq ft | Basic | $250–$350 | $60–$90 | Fertilizer + weed control |
| 4,000–6,000 sq ft | Standard | $350–$500 | $80–$120 | Additional coverage |
| 6,000–8,000 sq ft | Premium | $450–$600 | $90–$150 | Extra products or visits |
Yard accessibility, slope, and irrigation proximity can add $20–$100 per visit in setup or travel time. Homes with tall fences, steep driveways, or gated entries may incur higher labor fees, nudging annual totals upward by 5–15%.
