The season is short, mowing runs late spring to early fall, with fall cleanup a must. Here is what lawn care runs in Chicago for 2026.
Chicago lawn-care prices
- Standard mow (typical lot): $40-$85 per visit
- Monthly full service (mow, edge, blow): $125-$275
- Seasonal cleanup: $210-$525
Pricing sits a little above the national average and depends on lot size and slope.
Save money
Recurring service beats one-off visits, and bundling cleanup with regular mowing usually earns a better rate.
Hiring
Ask what a visit includes (edging and blowing, or just mowing), and confirm they haul clippings.
