ISO: reliable lawn care service in Rowlett. Not the big chains.

Looking for a reliable lawn care service in Rowlett. Weekly mowing, edging, and blowing. I have about a quarter acre lot in Liberty Grove.

What I need:

  • Weekly mowing during growing season (March-November)
  • Edging along sidewalks and driveway
  • Blowing clippings off the driveway and walkways
  • Ideally the same crew every week so they know the property

What I do NOT need:

  • Full landscaping services
  • Fertilization programs (I handle that myself)
  • Tree trimming or removal

Budget: $35-50 per visit for the above. I know labor costs have gone up and I want to pay fairly. I am not looking for the cheapest possible option. I am looking for someone who will actually show up every week and do it right.

What I have tried:

  • TruGreen: showed up late, different crew every time, left clippings on the driveway. Cancelled after 3 months.
  • A guy from Craigslist: great for 4 weeks then stopped showing up entirely. No explanation, never heard from him again.
  • Doing it myself: I did for 3 years but between work and kids I no longer have the time on weekends.

What I am asking for: Recommendations for local, independent lawn care operators in the Rowlett area who are reliable and do quality work. Someone who has been doing your yard for more than 6 months and still shows up every week.

DM me or drop the name and your experience below. I will vet them and report back.

The Nextdoor app for Rowlett has a whole thread on lawn care recommendations. Sort by most recent because some of the older recommendations are for guys who have since retired or moved.

Carlos from Carlos Lawn Care has been doing our yard in Waterview for two years. Same crew every week, usually Wednesday mornings. $40 per visit for a similar-sized lot. Consistent, careful around the flower beds, and always blows the driveway clean. His number is on the Rowlett Community Facebook group.

I use a guy named Miguel who I found through a neighbor in Princeton Park. $35/week for mowing, edging, and blowing. Shows up every Thursday without fail. Has been doing our yard for over a year. DM me and I will send you his contact.

$40-45 per visit for a quarter acre is the going rate in Rowlett for quality work. If someone quotes you $25, they are cutting corners or will not be around in three months. Pay fairly and you get reliability.

Whatever you do, avoid LawnStarz. They did my yard for two months, raised the price by $15 without notice, and when I pushed back they ghosted. Total waste of time.
