Houston Lawn Mowing and Residential Property Maintenance
A landscape is finished the day it is installed and never again. Beds fill in, irrigation drifts out of adjustment, St. Augustine grows through nine months of heat, and the details that made the design work — bed edges, mulch depth, the line between turf and paving — soften if nobody is holding them.
Why Texan Landscape Group for Residential Property Maintenance
- 01
We tell you how the work is priced before you call.
Residential Property Maintenance is quoted per property against lot size, bed area, and visit frequency, after we walk it — said here rather than after qualifying you on the phone. Almost no Houston landscape contractor does that.
- 02
Mowing height is set by grass variety and season rather than by one deck height across every property on the route.
The bed edges and mulch depth that made the design work are maintained rather than mown around.
- 03
Design and build sit inside the same five-person team.
The person who walks your property draws it, and the crew that installs it answers to Chris and Tony Gosselin. There is no sales handoff and no subcontracted install to chase.
- 04
One call afterwards.
No claims portal, no ticket number, and no subcontractor who has moved on.
What Residential Lawn Mowing and Yard Care Covers
What a routine visit covers. Frequency is set against the property and the season rather than sold as one schedule, and the seasonal work is listed on the programs page.
- 01
Mowing & Edging
Cut at the height the grass type actually wants — St. Augustine and zoysia are not mown the same — with edges cut clean along paving, beds, and the drive.
- 02
Bed Maintenance
Beds weeded, edges recut to the line they were installed on, and mulch pulled back off trunks and crowns where it has drifted against them.
- 03
Pruning & Shaping
Shrubs and ornamentals pruned to their habit and to the season, rather than sheared into shapes that push growth in the wrong direction.
- 04
Blow-Down & Clean-Up
Clippings and leaf litter cleared off terraces, walks, and the drive at the end of every visit, and kept out of drains and channel grates.
- 05
Irrigation Check
Heads checked for coverage, breakage, and spray onto paving, with controller run times adjusted as the season and the rainfall change.
- 06
Site Walk
Someone looking at the property as a whole each visit — standing water, settling, failing plants, lighting out — and telling you before it becomes the expensive version.
Our Residential Property Maintenance Process in Houston
- 01
Property Walk and Quote
We walk the property with you, record lot size, bed area, irrigation zones, and grass variety, and quote from what is there rather than from a satellite image.
- 02
Mowing and Edging
Mowing to the height the grass variety and the season call for, with edging along every hard edge each visit. St. Augustine cut short in July scalps, which is the most common damage we are called in to correct.
- 03
Bed Maintenance and Pruning
Beds weeded and shaped to the drawn line, mulch depth kept, and pruning done to the sightlines the design was built around rather than to a hedge-trimmer default.
- 04
Blow-Down and Irrigation Check
Hard surfaces blown down at the end of every visit, and the irrigation checked on the visit rather than when something dies. A head knocked out of adjustment costs a bed if nobody looks.
- 05
Seasonal Work and Reporting
Seasonal colour, fertilisation and soil work, mulch refresh, and freeze and storm response through the year. You get told what we found, not only what we cut.
The difference is
showing up the same way.
Anyone can make a yard look right the day they leave it. Holding that line through a Houston August, a wet October, and a hard freeze in January is a different job, and it is the one that decides whether a landscape still looks designed three years after it was installed.
So the crew that comes to your property is the same crew, working from the same notes — the grass type, the irrigation zones, where the water sits after rain, and which bed the design meant to read first.
How Much Does Lawn Mowing Cost in Houston?
Maintenance is priced per property rather than off a rate card, because the two things that decide the number — how much turf and bed there is, and how often the property needs to be visited — are different on every lot. We walk it, agree the scope and the rhythm, and price that.
Priced per property, per visit rhythm.
What moves it: the size of the grounds, the split between turf, bed, and paving, how often you want a crew on site, and whether seasonal color and fertilization are included. You get a written scope and a price after the walk.
Residential Property Maintenance Across Houston and the Surrounding Area
Texan Landscape Group maintains homes across Memorial, Hunters Creek Village, Piney Point Village, Bunker Hill Village, Hedwig Village, Spring Branch, Tanglewood, River Oaks, West University Place, Bellaire and the Houston Heights, and throughout Harris County. Houston St. Augustine wants a high mowing height through summer, and cutting it to a golf-course length is the fastest way to scalp a lawn here in July. That is a design decision on every project, not a note added at the end of one.
Mowing heights and fertilisation timing for St. Augustine, Zoysia, and Bermuda follow the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension turf calendar rather than a national schedule. Design and construction sit inside one in-house team, which is why the drawing and the finished work match. You can learn more about our crew, or see all of our Houston landscape services for the full scope we design and build.

Residential Property Maintenance FAQs
How much does lawn mowing and maintenance cost in Houston?
It is quoted per property against lot size, bed area, and visit frequency, after a property walk. A number quoted from a map changes on the first visit, so we do not give one.
How short should St. Augustine be cut in Houston?
Higher than most people expect, and higher again through summer. Cutting St. Augustine short in July removes the shade the runners need and scalps the lawn, which is the single most common lawn damage we see. Height is set by variety and season, not by one deck setting across a route.
How often should the lawn be mown?
Weekly through Houston’s growing season, which runs far longer than a national average, and dropping back through winter. Fortnightly mowing in June means removing too much leaf at once, which stresses the grass.
Do you handle beds and pruning as well as mowing?
Yes. Bed weeding and shaping, mulch depth, and pruning to sightlines are part of the routine rather than an extra, because a lawn cut around collapsing beds does not look maintained.
Do you maintain yards you did not build?
Yes, and a good number of the properties we maintain are ones we did not install. Where we find something built wrong we tell you rather than working around it forever.
Work that goes with this.
Most projects combine several of these, and doing them together costs less than doing them one at a time.
