What we do

Services that keep your yard the best on the block

Smart Family Home Services is a locally operated, owner-operated property maintenance business. Every property gets direct attention from the person responsible for the work — no rotating crews, no unnecessary complications, just straightforward service, honest pricing, and attention to detail.

🌱

Lawn Mowing

Weekly or bi-weekly cuts with crisp edges. Recurring plans available so you never have to think about it.

✂️

Trimming & Edging

Clean lines along walks, driveways, and beds — the details that make a yard look finished.

🍂

Leaf & Debris Cleanup

Spring and fall cleanups, storm debris, and brush removal to reset your yard.

🟤

Mulching

Fresh mulch for beds and trees — better curb appeal and healthier soil.

🌳

Hedge & Shrub Trimming

Shaping and pruning to keep bushes healthy and your property tidy.

❄️

Snow Removal

Per-visit driveway clearing and seasonal contracts, with walkway and salt options. Reliable winter service while you need it — book early, routes fill fast.

Pricing

Straightforward ballpark pricing

The prices on this page are ballpark estimates to give you a general idea of cost — they are not guaranteed quotes. Your final price is set after we see the property and can be higher or lower depending on the amount of work involved, including lawn size and condition, growth, access, obstacles, and debris volume. Every mowing visit includes professional mowing, light weed whipping and trimming (up to 10 minutes), and blowing grass clippings off driveways, sidewalks, and other hard surfaces.

Lawn mowing — by property size

Lawn sizeWeeklyBi-weekly
Small property / ¼ acre$50 minimum$67.50
½ acre$50$67.50
¾ acre$67.50$91.13
1 acre$90$121.50
1¼ acres$112.50$151.88
1½ acres$135$182.25
2 acres$180$243
2½ acres$225$303.75
3 acres$270$364.50

Weekly mowing is priced at $90 per acre with a $50 minimum service charge. Bi-weekly service is 35% above the weekly rate, reflecting the extra time, heavier clippings, and trimming that longer grass requires. We offer weekly and bi-weekly scheduling only — no monthly or less-frequent mowing. Bi-weekly pricing assumes the lawn stays reasonably maintained; excessive growth may need a reset service first. All listed prices are ballpark estimates, not guaranteed quotes — your confirmed price may differ based on the amount of work your property needs. Lawns that require push mowing — tight gates, steep slopes, or areas our standard equipment can't reach — are always charged at an elevated rate.

✂️

Extended trimming — $65/hour

Up to 10 minutes of trimming is included with every mow. Beyond that, trimming is billed at $65/hour in 15-minute increments:

  • 1–15 extra minutes — $16.25
  • 16–30 extra minutes — $32.50
  • 31–45 extra minutes — $48.75
  • 46–60 extra minutes — $65
🌿

Overgrown lawns & reset mowing — $65/hour

New or neglected properties may need a reset before joining a regular schedule — tall or dense grass (often 8–10 inches or more), multiple passes, or heavy clippings. Reset work is $65/hour or a flat quote after we see the property. Extra work is always discussed and approved by you before it begins.

🍂

Spring & fall cleanups

Leaf and debris removal, stick and branch collection, clearing winter debris, and general property cleanup.

  • Labor — $65/hour (2-hour minimum)
  • Yard waste disposal — $35 per cubic yard, based on the actual volume hauled away

Cleanup examples

Job sizeLaborDisposalTotal
2 hours + 2 cubic yards$130$70$200
3 hours + 4 cubic yards$195$140$335
4 hours + 5 cubic yards$260$175$435
5 hours + 7 cubic yards$325$245$570

Cleanups are property maintenance — not large-scale landscaping, land clearing, tree removal, or major renovation.

Good to know

📅 Scheduling

Weekly or bi-weekly mowing only. Rain and unsuitable ground conditions may delay service 24–48 hours; equipment problems or emergencies can occasionally affect scheduling too. You'll be notified and rescheduled as promptly as possible.

🧹 Before we arrive

Please clear the service area of toys, garden hoses, decorations, tools, pet waste, and other personal items. Lawns should be reasonably free of pet waste — excessive pet waste may postpone service or require a separate quote. Let us know about changes to access, obstacles, or pets before your visit.

🧾 Payment

Payment is due upon completion unless otherwise agreed. Outstanding balances may pause service until invoices are paid.
