How Much Does Lawn Mowing and Yard Cleanup Cost in South Florida? (2026)
Quick answer: Mowing a standard lawn in South Florida usually costs $40–$70 for a one-time cut. A yard cleanup with weeding, edging, and trimming usually costs $75–$150, with mulch, plants, and dump fees extra. On Biddy Jobs you post photos and a Budget, and neighbors nearby send Bids.
In South Florida the grass grows most of the year, and a few weeks of summer rain can turn a normal mow into a big cleanup. One-time yard Tasks are common before a party, a home sale, a family visit, or after a storm. Here’s what they typically cost in Broward and Palm Beach County.
Typical Yard Work Prices
| Job | Typical price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| One-time mow, standard lot | $40–$70 | Mow, edge, and blow off walkways |
| Overgrown lawn | Above the standard range | Tall grass takes longer and may need two passes |
| Yard cleanup: weeding, edging, trimming | $75–$150 | Materials like mulch extra |
| Hedge trimming | Bid by the job | Depends on height and length |
| Debris haul-away | Bid by the load | See junk removal costs |

What Raises or Lowers the Price
- Lot size and shape. Corner lots, slopes, and lots of beds and trees take longer.
- Grass height. An overgrown lawn can take twice as long as a regular cut.
- Equipment. Say whether you have a mower and trimmer the Bidder can use, or need them to bring their own.
- Disposal. Ask whether clippings and branches are hauled away or left at the curb for pickup.
- Heat and rain. Morning work goes faster in summer, and afternoon storms can push a job to another day.
One-Time Yard Work or a Lawn Service?
If you want weekly mowing all year, a lawn care company is built for that. Biddy is for the one-time jobs: a cleanup before guests arrive, a mow while your regular service is on break, or clearing branches after a storm.
How to Set Your Budget on Biddy
On Biddy Jobs, you post a Task with your Budget, which is your estimate of what you expect to pay. Bidders nearby send the price they would do it for, plus a short note. Ask questions in the app, then accept the Bid that fits. Phone numbers and emails stay out of the post, and payment is held securely until the Task is done.
Sample Task: One-time mow and edge before a Saturday party. Budget: $60.
Delray Beach, average lot, front and back. Grass is about 2 weeks overdue. Mower is in the garage if needed. Thursday or Friday.
Sample Bid: $65. “I can come Friday at 8 am before the heat and bring my own mower and edger. I’ll blow off the driveway and patio and bag the clippings.”
