Lubbock Lawn Care FAQ

You fill out one short form with your address, what you need and any timing. We pass your request to independent local lawn care, landscaping, sprinkler or tree companies that work in your part of the Lubbock area, and they contact you with free, no-obligation quotes. You compare prices and scope, ask questions and decide whether to hire anyone. The company you choose schedules and does the work.

No. Lubbock Lawn Care Pros is a free quote service, not a lawn company. We connect Lubbock-area homeowners with independent local lawn care, landscaping, sprinkler and tree companies for free, no-obligation quotes. Each company sets its own prices, schedules its own visits and is solely responsible for its own work, so put your questions about methods, timing and paperwork directly to the company you are considering.

No. Requesting quotes through this site costs you nothing, and there is no obligation to hire anyone. You only pay if you agree to a price with a company and it does the work, and that payment goes to the company. Get more than one quote when you can, compare exactly what each one includes, and ask for the agreed price in writing before work starts.

The City of Lubbock assigns two watering days by the last digit of your address: 0, 3, 4 or 9 water Monday and Thursday; 1, 5 or 6 water Tuesday and Friday; 2, 7 or 8 water Wednesday and Saturday. There is no Sunday irrigation, and hand watering is allowed any time. Check the current schedule and any drought stage at mylubbock.us before you set your controller.

Not with a sprinkler system. The City of Lubbock's schedule gives every address two assigned days and no Sunday irrigation. Hand watering is allowed any time of day on any day, so you can still spot-water a dry patch or new plants with a hose. Check the current schedule and any drought stage at mylubbock.us before you set your controller.

From April 1 through September 30, the City's guidance lists watering hours of midnight to 10 a.m. or 6 p.m. to midnight on your assigned days, and about 1.5 inches of water per zone per week. Running several short cycles instead of one long one (cycle-and-soak) helps water soak in rather than run off. Check the current schedule and any drought stage at mylubbock.us before you set your controller.

Yes, on the same two assigned days, but from October 1 through March 31 water only when it is above 35 °F. Lubbock City Code §22.03.133(b)(2) makes it an offense to irrigate during freezing weather or precipitation. The City also recommends winterizing your system and adding a rain and freeze sensor. Check the current schedule and any drought stage at mylubbock.us before you set your controller.

Yes. In Texas, anyone who applies weed killers, insect or grub control, or other pesticides to a lawn for hire must hold a Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) applicator license. Fertilizer-only applications do not require one. Before you hire, ask for the company's TDA license number and verify it with TDA. Weed-and-feed products contain herbicide, so applying them for hire counts as a pesticide application. This is general information, not legal advice.

Yes. In Texas, sprinkler and irrigation installation, repair and maintenance for hire must be done by, or under the supervision of, a TCEQ-licensed Landscape Irrigator, whose LI license number must appear on their advertising. Homeowners may work on their own home's system. Ask for the LI number and verify it with TCEQ. Backflow testing requires a TCEQ-licensed backflow prevention assembly tester.
