Lawn treatment service prices start at $300 for a yard up to 5,000 square feet for a year of treatment.
That breaks down to $50 per treatment across six treatments, including fertilizer, weed control and grub control.
Once you get on board with the basic lawn care program, you can easily choose from helpful add-ons to boost your landscaping health.
Lawn care treatment costs depend on a few factors.
At Lawn Buddies, your property’s square footage is the biggest factor that affects pricing. Larger landscapes require more lawn care products, which increases the cost.
But we don’t have to visit your property in person to measure your yard. We use innovative software to get multiple satellite images to measure it. This allows us to give you an accurate price quickly.
Other factors that can affect Idaho Falls lawn care pricing:
How bad is it? If your lawn is in poor condition, it will take more time and products to restore its health and get it to a maintainable level.
Types of weeds: Some weeds require repeat treatment with specialty chemicals, while others may need a less-frequent treatment schedule.
Your expectations: Do you want your lawn to look like a golf course, or are you just concerned about keeping it alive through the summer? Your expectation levels will affect the course of action and cost.
Services vary by company, but a high-quality lawn care program should include fertilizer, weed control and grub control.
Here’s a look at what you’ll get from Lawn Buddies:
Fertilizer is your lawn’s food, and timing is everything.
Your lawn will get six fertilizer treatments throughout the year, adding crucial nutrients to your hungry soil and giving your grass that nice pop of green, fast.
The final fall fertilizer treatment includes an important slow-release granular fertilizer that feeds your hungry lawn through the winter and helps it pop back up, ready to impress, in the spring.
How much does professional lawn fertilization cost? At Lawn Buddies, the cost is included in our full-service lawn care program.
Lawn Buddies weed control includes a spring pre-emergent treatment to prevent weeds from sprouting.
Prevent weeds early, and there’ll be fewer to battle during the warmer months.
We apply broadleaf treatments throughout the season to target dandelions and clover.
We also perform spot treatments when pesky weeds break through their pre-emergent shields.

These gross, squishy pests feast on your lawn’s roots, causing whole sections to turn brown, wilt, and die.
Then they turn into beetles that lay eggs — which turn into more grubs. How to stop the vicious cycle? The trick is to kill grubs before they hatch, so we’ll apply preventive lawn grub control in the spring to nip them in the bud.
No matter what Idaho Falls lawn care prices you pay, a perfect lawn doesn’t happen overnight. Patience, please.
If your lawn is overrun with weeds and brown patches, a few treatments probably won’t be enough to give you resort-like turf.
Think long-term goals, not immediate results.
Be realistic about weeds, too. You’ll still see a few weeds, even after treatment begins. Weeds are tenacious. The goal is to reduce them, but you’ll see a few stragglers once in a while.
Maybe you really want to tackle your lawn care on your own. Home improvement stores are packed with products, right?
Keep in mind it’s kind of a hassle. Here are a few things to consider:
Many homeowners either apply too much fertilizer or apply it at the wrong time of the year.
Too much fertilizer will actually burn your lawn. It can also harm the environment by running off and entering groundwater.
Lawn care experts know exactly how much fertilizer to apply and when. And because you’re on their calendar, they’ll arrive at just the right times to treat your lawn.
Lawn Buddies technicians see lots of homeowners use too much weed control product, and then their lawns turn brown.
You might dump in three big glugs when the product only needs one or two ounces per gallon of water.
So not only are you risking your lawn health and the environment by applying too much weed control, you’re wasting money, too.
Inexperienced homeowners applying fertilizers and pesticides to their lawns can pose serious environmental risks. Leaving excess fertilizer on sidewalks or driveways means it can wash away and enter groundwater.
Lawn care experts understand the fine print on pesticide and fertilizer labels and follow specific application rates and safety precautions.
When you’re looking at the cost of lawn care in Idaho Falls, don’t forget the value of expert knowledge. Lawn Buddies technicians are experts in all types of turf and its needs.
Lawn Buddies employees ride with another licensed pesticide technician to learn the ropes before they’re sent out to work independently.
We also hold weekly training sessions to teach them more about pests, pesticides, and safety.
Your lawn care tech will know exactly what products your lawn needs, when to apply them, and how to apply them.
Q: Do lawn care applications have to happen all year?
A: If you want a healthy, good-looking lawn, yes. One or two visits won’t improve your lawn.
Lawn care treatments like fertilizer and weed control only last a few weeks, so you repeat them several times throughout the year. Your grass might look greener at first after one or two visits, but it will soon start to lose its color. And you’ll notice ugly weeds starting to sprout.
That’s why a lawn care package with fertilizer and weed control services is your best bet for a healthy lawn. It delivers all the services your lawn needs, month by month.
Q: How many visits are included in a lawn care program?
A: Everybody’s plan is different. But a typical high-quality lawn care program usually includes six targeted applications each year, scheduled every 4-6 weeks from early spring through late fall to handle fertilization, weed control and grub control.
Q: Can I purchase fertilizer or weed control treatments separately?
A: That won’t do much good. Just one or two treatments aren’t enough to improve your lawn. At Lawn Buddies, we don’t offer individual lawn treatments. We want to treat your lawn for the entire season, so you see a real difference. That way, we can make sure your lawn gets exactly what it needs at the right times.
Some Idaho Falls lawn care companies offer so many confusing lawn care choices and multi-tiered pricing that you don't know what's actually helping your lawn and what just costs more money.
Maybe you’d like perimeter pest control to keep pesky bugs out of your house. Or plant health care services, such as deep root fertilization, to help struggling trees. Or use a plant bed pre-emergent weed control to prevent invasive weeds from taking over your beautiful flower beds.
Everybody cares about price. But comparing lawn treatment services based on price alone doesn't give you the full picture.
