5 Best Lawn Care Services in New York (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Weeds do not wait for a free Saturday, and neither does the crabgrass creeping in from a neighbor's yard. Lawn care services in New York have built up serious volume on Google: the top name here alone has logged 378 reviews at a perfect 5.0, and the companies on this page have a combined total north of 900 reviews. That kind of track record matters more for lawn care than almost any other outdoor service, because you are usually signing up for a recurring relationship, not a one-time job.

Short answer: GreenStripe Lawn Care leads with the most reviews on this page, 378 at a perfect 5.0, offering natural-based fertilization and weed control across Essex and Union counties, New Jersey. Admire Landscaping & Lawn Care and Right Lawn Care both hold strong ratings above 4.8 with well over 150 reviews each, covering Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island. Costs vary by lot size and treatment plan, so ask each company for a written quote based on your specific yard.

Watch: 5 Best Lawn Care Services in New York (2026)

How we rank these

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is each company’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, measured against the other lawn care providers on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from hundreds of reviews counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does lawn care cost in New York? (2026)

Lawn care pricing in the New York area depends on lot size, whether you want a one-time cleanup or a recurring seasonal program, and whether treatments are traditional or organic. Most companies on this list quote after seeing the property, either in person or from photos.

Serving all of New York

These lawn care companies cover Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island, Staten Island and the New Jersey side of the metro, from Essex County treatment programs to Whitestone seasonal cleanups. Searching for lawn care near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and directions to the closest option.

What to ask before you hire a lawn care service

Is this a one-time cleanup or a recurring seasonal program, and what does each visit include?
Do you offer organic or lower-chemical treatment options?
How do you handle pet or child safety after a chemical treatment?
What is included in the quoted price: mowing, edging, fertilization, weed control?
Can you provide references or before-and-after photos of similar-sized yards?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these lawn care companies?

We started from lawn care businesses in New York with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we rank these above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

How often should a New York lawn be treated?

Most of the companies here run seasonal or year-round programs with multiple visits, since fertilization, weed control and pest treatment work best on a schedule rather than as a single visit. Ask each provider what their standard program includes.

Do these companies handle both mowing and lawn treatment?

Coverage varies. Some, like GreenStripe, focus on treatment programs (fertilization, weed and pest control) rather than routine mowing, while others like Right Lawn Care and Grass-Hoppers combine cleanup, mowing and treatment. Confirm scope when you call.

The bottom line

GreenStripe Lawn Care is the safe default for an ongoing treatment program, with the deepest review history on this page. If your yard needs rescuing from years of overgrowth first, Admire Landscaping is the stronger starting point. Either way, get the treatment schedule in writing before you commit.
