We've put together this guide based on our experience serving Kerman, Fresno, and Clovis — real local pricing, not national averages.
How Much Does Lawn Mowing Cost in Fresno?
Standard residential lawn mowing in Fresno costs $35–$75 per visit. The price depends on yard size, grass height, terrain, and whether edging and blowing are included. Most professional services include mowing, edging, string trimming, and debris blowoff in a single visit price.
| Yard Size | Per Visit | Weekly Plan (4 visits/mo) | Bi-Weekly Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (under 3,000 sq ft) | $35–$45 | $130–$170/mo | $70–$90/mo |
| Medium (3,000–7,000 sq ft) | $45–$60 | $170–$230/mo | $90–$120/mo |
| Large (7,000+ sq ft) | $60–$75+ | $230–$290/mo | $120–$150/mo |
Weekly service is typically 10–15% cheaper per visit than one-time mowing because the grass stays manageable between visits. Learn more about our lawn care maintenance plans.
How Much Does Sod Installation Cost?
Sod installation in Fresno and Kerman runs $1.50–$2.50 per square foot installed, including soil prep, grading, and the sod itself. For a typical 1,000 sq ft backyard, expect to pay $1,500–$2,500.

|---|---|---|
| Small patch (200–500 sq ft) | $400–$1,000 | Soil prep, sod, installation |

How Much Does Sprinkler Repair Cost?
Sprinkler repair in the Fresno area typically costs $75–$250 per visit, depending on the issue. Simple fixes like replacing a broken head run $75–$100, while valve replacements or line repairs can reach $150–$250.
| Repair Type | Estimated Cost |

| Broken sprinkler head replacement | $75–$100 |
| Valve repair or replacement | $100–$200 |
| Line leak repair | $125–$250 |
| Timer/controller reprogramming | $50–$100 |
| Full system audit and tune-up | $100–$175 |
With Fresno's 3-day watering schedule and 15-minute-per-station limits, a properly tuned sprinkler system is essential. One broken head can waste hundreds of gallons per month. Our sprinkler repair service covers everything from quick fixes to full system overhauls.
How Much Does Tree Trimming Cost?
Tree trimming in Fresno costs $150–$500 per tree for most residential jobs. Palm tree trimming runs $100–$350 per palm. Large or hazardous trees requiring crane work can exceed $1,000.

Fresno requires permits for removing trees over 12 inches in diameter. Tree trimming generally does not require a permit, but check with the city for protected species.
