Where a figure says "national range," the guide did not publish a Lubbock-specific number. We do not set or control any company's prices; the company you choose quotes its own.

Rough estimate only — your quote depends on the yard.
Mowing and treatments are priced mostly by area. A quarter-acre lot is the most common reference point, but narrow side yards, fenced backyards, gates and lots of beds to trim around all add time. Corner lots with long sidewalk edges take longer to edge than the square footage suggests.
Texas A&M AgriLife recommends cutting common bermudagrass at 1–2 inches and never removing more than a third of the blade. Bermuda that has been left to grow tall takes longer to bring back down, so a first cut or a skipped week can cost more. Buffalograss is mowed higher, at 2.5–3 inches, and often less often.
The freeze-free season around Lubbock is about 210 days, and search interest in lawn care peaks in June and July. Weekly service through summer often carries a lower per-visit rate than one-off cuts, while every-other-week plans cost less per month. Ask how pricing works from green-up to dormancy.
Fertilizer-only applications do not need a state license, but weed killers, grub control and weed-and-feed products do. Weed-and-feed products contain herbicide. Companies holding a TDA applicator license may price differently from mow-only companies, so compare quotes that cover the same products and number of rounds.
A single broken pop-up head is a small job; a leak under a driveway or a failing valve is not. New automatic systems in Lubbock County must include rain or moisture shut-off technology, which is part of the cost of a new system. See the sprinkler repair guide.
Spring is the windiest season, so spring cleanups often include blown-in debris and sand in beds. Alkaline soils around Lubbock can cause iron chlorosis, and a soil test before fertilizing may add a small cost while avoiding wasted product.
A basic cut covers mowing, string-trimming and blowing hard surfaces. Weekly maintenance plans at $50–$150 per visit usually add edging, bed weeding or seasonal tasks. Ask whether clippings are left on the lawn (AgriLife recommends it for bermuda) or bagged for an extra charge. Details on lawn mowing and lawn maintenance plans.
AgriLife's bermuda guide calls for fertilizing after green-up when late frost is unlikely, soil testing first, and skipping fertilizer from September through February unless the lawn is overseeded. A program with several rounds will cost more up front than a single application. For pre-emergent and spot treatments, see weed control and fertilization.
Installed sod at about $1–$3 per square foot includes material, delivery and labor; preparing caliche-heavy or compacted ground can push the price up. Landscaping ranges are wide because a front-yard refresh with mulch and a few native plants is a very different job from a full backyard rebuild. See sod installation, water-wise landscaping, tree trimming and yard cleanup.
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.
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.

Online cost guides report about $27 to $89 per cut in Lubbock, with roughly $36 to $49 for a quarter-acre lot. Broader weekly maintenance visits that add edging, trimming and blowing run about $50 to $150. Treat these as rough estimates; the size of your lawn, how often it is cut and any extras decide the actual quote.
Every-other-week service usually costs less per month because there are fewer visits, but the per-visit price can be higher when the grass is taller and takes longer to cut. Texas A&M AgriLife advises removing no more than a third of the blade at a time, which is easier to keep up with on a weekly schedule during summer growth.
The $67 to $405 range is national and covers very different jobs: product type, lawn size, whether a soil test is included and whether the product also contains herbicide. Weed-and-feed products contain herbicide, so applying them for hire requires a Texas Department of Agriculture applicator license. Ask each company exactly what product and rate it uses.
Online guides report about $75 on average for a simple repair such as replacing a broken head, with jobs up to about $225, and a national average near $210. Leaks under concrete, valve or controller problems and backflow testing cost more. Sprinkler repair for hire in Texas must be done by or under a TCEQ-licensed Landscape Irrigator.
Compare quotes to find affordable lawn care: request two or three written quotes for the same scope, such as weekly mowing with edging and clippings left on the lawn. Ask what is included, how missed visits and rain delays are handled, and whether prices change mid-season. Bundling mowing with seasonal tasks may change the per-visit price.
