Count the Saturdays before you count the dollars.

This is not a quote. It is the hours a Thumb lawn takes if you keep doing it yourself, then a door into a standing route.

What the estimate includes

Choose the lot size and mowing frequency closest to your routine. The calculator multiplies the estimated hours per cut by the number of cuts for that schedule. Saturday afternoons are shown as four-hour blocks, so the result is a way to compare time commitments.

Your actual time can differ with slopes, obstacles, equipment, weather, and how much of the lot is lawn. The estimate does not add edging, bagging, equipment repairs, or snow work. Use it to plan your season, then request a property-specific quote if you want help.
