Lawn Care Baton Rouge: Year-Round Maintenance Plans
We are not a one-time mow-and-go crew. Lawn care at Hernandez Lawnscape runs on year-round plans, weekly or biweekly, so the same crew knows your yard and the edges never grow back in.
Three plans
Weekly, biweekly or premium, one crew all year
Lawn maintenance runs on plans, not one-time cuts, because a lawn that is kept looks nothing like a lawn that is occasionally mowed. Every plan is one flat monthly payment.
Basic, weekly

How the monthly price works
We price your yard per visit, multiply by the visits in the year and divide by twelve. A $50 cut on the weekly plan is 38 cuts a year, about $158 a month, the same in January as in July. The premium plan works the same way: the year of cleanups, mulch and pruning is added up and spread out, so there is no large bill every spring.
What we do not do: fertilization and lawn treatment programs. Those require a separate state license. We point you to a licensed provider and coordinate visits.
Lawn Care in Baton Rouge on a Year-Round Plan
We are not a one-time mow-and-go crew, and we do not pretend to be. Lawn care at Hernandez Lawnscape runs on year-round plans, so the same crew knows your yard and the edges never grow back in. A lawn that is kept looks nothing like a lawn that is occasionally cut, and the difference is visible from the street.
What Every Visit Includes
- Mowing at the right height for your grass: St. Augustine and Zoysia are not cut like Bermuda.
- Edging along drives, walks and curbs.
- String trimming around beds, trees, fences and the mailbox.
- Blowing the hard surfaces clean.
- Weed control in the cracks and joints of driveways and walks.
- Small debris picked up before we leave.
Benefits of Professional Lawn Care
A lawn mowed at the wrong height, with a dull blade, on a random schedule, thins out and lets weeds in. A lawn cut at the right height every week in summer shades its own soil, holds moisture and crowds weeds out. That is most of what people mean by a healthy lawn, and it does not need a chemical program to get there.
What We Do Not Do, and Why
We do not sell fertilization, weed treatment or pest control programs. Louisiana requires a separate license for applying those, and we do not hold it. When a lawn needs treatment we say so and point you to a licensed provider, and we coordinate our visits around theirs. We would rather lose that line item than sell you something we are not licensed to do.
Lawn Care and the Rest of the Yard
Because the same company installs sprinklers and drainage, the crew that mows is watching for the things a mowing crew usually misses: a head that stopped popping up, a corner that stays soggy, a bed that is drying out. Those get reported and fixed, usually on the next route, instead of turning into a dead patch by August.
Cleanups and Getting Started
A yard that has gotten away from someone usually needs a one-time cleanup before a plan makes sense. Cleanups are the one job we do as a one-time service; they are quoted after we walk the property, because no two overgrown yards are the same size of job. After that, the plan is quoted in writing after we see the yard, and the first visit is on the schedule within two weeks.

Hernandez and team recently did a turf install for us along with a spring bed refresh. They were on time, worked quickly and efficiently and cleaned up each day of work. We are also using them for our regular lawn maintenance and have been thoroughly pleased...
