We analyzed 270 recurring lawn mowing quotes our team wrote for homes across Evans, Augusta, Martinez and Grovetown from 2022 through October 2026, alongside local gas prices and wage data, to show what homeowners in the CSRA are really being quoted and why prices moved.
Key Findings
These numbers come from our own quote records (one local company, not the whole market) plus public data from AAA and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. You’re welcome to cite them with a link to this page.
Bi-Weekly Lawn Mowing Prices in Evans & Augusta, 2022–2026
Bi-weekly service (every other week in the growing season) is what most homeowners here choose, so it’s the cleanest year-over-year comparison. This chart shows the median per-visit price on the bi-weekly quotes we wrote each year.

The cheap end of the market disappeared
The median tells only part of the story. In 2022, 52% of our bi-weekly quotes were $60 a visit or less. By 2024 that share had fallen to 4%, and in 2026 not a single bi-weekly quote came in at $60 or under. Most 2026 quotes landed between $71 and $90.
Share of each year’s bi-weekly quotes by per-visit price. 2022: 25 quotes; 2024: 45; 2026: 55. Percentages are rounded.
2026 Lawn Care Cost Guide for Evans & Augusta

“Typical” is the median. *Small sample, treat as a rough guide. The mid-summer treatment round runs higher than the others (median $130) and is excluded from the per-round figure.

Why Lawn Care Prices Moved: Gas, Labor and Route Density
Gas is up, but it’s a smaller piece than most people think
According to AAA, regular gas in the Augusta-Aiken area averaged $3.63 on October 22, 2026, up from $2.77 a year earlier and down from $4.12 a month before. Every crew runs a truck, a trailer and gas-powered mowers, trimmers and blowers, so fuel swings show up fast.
Run the numbers below and you’ll see that a 30% jump in gas adds about $1.50 per visit for a typical nearby yard. That’s real money across a route, but it doesn’t explain a $15–$25 move in per-visit pricing on its own.
Labor and equipment are the bigger drivers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics counts about 1,770 landscaping and groundskeeping workers in the Augusta-Richmond County metro, with a median wage of $17.71 an hour as of May 2025. Wages, insurance, mower replacement and repairs make up most of what a visit costs to deliver.
Route density keeps prices steadier
A crew that services several yards on the same street spends less time and fuel between stops. That’s why companies with tight routes in neighborhoods across Evans and Augusta can usually hold pricing better than a company driving across three counties.

When Evans & Augusta Homeowners Shop for Lawn Care
Across 293 mowing quote requests since 2020, March stands out: 24% of all requests arrived that month, more than double any other month. Interest stays steady from April through July, then drops sharply after October.

What it means for you: if you want a specific service day or a crew that’s already on your street, ask for quotes in January or February, before the March rush. Warm-season grasses like Bermuda and zoysia green up here in April, which is also when weed control and fertilization timing matters most.
Methodology
Data source: Every lawn care estimate recorded in Green Lawn Augusta’s scheduling software from 2020 through October 22, 2026, covering homes in Evans, Augusta, Martinez, Grovetown, North Augusta and nearby Columbia County.
What we measured: For mowing, we took the per-visit price of the primary growing-season line on each estimate: 270 recurring quotes from 2022 onward, 207 of them bi-weekly. For other services we used the quoted total for that service on each estimate. All figures are medians, and “middle 50%” means the 25th to 75th percentile.
Limitations: These are one company’s quotes, not a survey of every provider in the CSRA. They’re quoted prices, not necessarily what customers paid. Yard sizes aren’t standardized, and the mix of yards we quote changes from year to year, which affects the medians. Small samples are marked.
Privacy: No customer names, addresses or other personal details were published or shared. Only aggregate figures appear on this page.
Public data: Gas prices from the AAA Gas Prices Georgia report (Augusta-Aiken, GA portion), accessed October 22, 2026. Wages and employment from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025, occupation 37-3011, Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metro.

Lawn Care Cost FAQ
How much does lawn mowing cost in Evans, GA?
In 2026, our median bi-weekly mowing quote in Evans and the surrounding area was $75 per visit, with most quotes between $75 and $85. Small, simple yards come in lower and large or steep yards higher.
How much does lawn care cost in Augusta, GA?
Augusta pricing follows the same pattern as Evans: about $75–$85 per visit for bi-weekly mowing on a typical yard, and around $55–$80 per round for weed control and fertilization. Yard size, access and how overgrown the lawn is matter more than the zip code.
Did gas prices make lawn care more expensive?
Gas is a factor, but a modest one per visit. At $3.63 a gallon versus $2.77 a year ago, fuel adds about $1.50 per visit for a nearby yard. Labor, insurance and equipment costs have a bigger effect on what a visit costs.
Is weekly or bi-weekly mowing cheaper?
Bi-weekly costs less per month, but weekly visits can cost a little less per visit because the grass is shorter and faster to cut. During peak growth from May through August, weekly service keeps Bermuda and zoysia lawns healthier.
When is the best time to get lawn care quotes?
January and February. March brings about a quarter of all quote requests we receive, so booking early gives you more choice of service day.
