How much does landscaping cost in Rochester Hills?
Real numbers on weekly mowing, cleanups, mulch, fertilization, and seasonal programs for typical Oakland County homes.
For a typical Rochester Hills home (third-acre to half-acre lot), weekly mowing runs $55–$85, a spring cleanup runs $400–$800, and a five-step fertilization program runs $325–$575. Below: ranges for every common service, plus the multipliers that move the number on your specific property.
Weekly mowing
Most standard suburban lots: $55–$85, weekly April–October, biweekly November.
Add 25–40% for:
- Steep or terraced lots (Stoney Creek, eastern Rochester Hills)
- Heavy tree coverage with leaf load
- Three-or-more gates / tight backyard access
We hold a recurring weekday slot for your property — same crew, same day.
Spring cleanup
One-time, typical range $400–$800. This includes:
- Leaf and debris removal from beds and lawn
- Bed-line edging
- Light pruning of overgrown perennials
- First-cut mow

Fall cleanup
