Lawn treatment prices, by the square metre band.
Feed-and-weed treatments priced by lawn size on the annual plan the trade runs on, with the big-ticket add-ons — scarifying, aeration, overseeding — priced separately.
How it prices: Price per treatment by lawn size band, multiplied for your area, on a four-to-six-treatment annual programme — one-off treatments are the same per-treatment price (the plan wins on retention, not on a discount), with the mechanical work priced separately. Scarifying, aeration and overseeding together make the autumn renovation bundle, priced below the sum of the parts. Treat the output as a starting band, not gospel — gather 15–30 local price points before you commit to a number.
What lawn treatments cost in the UK in 2026
A seasonal feed-and-weed treatment on a typical suburban lawn (100–250m²) runs £30–£45 per visit on an annual plan of four to six treatments, with a £20 minimum on the smallest lawns. Pricing works out around £0.28–£0.32 per m²: a 100m² lawn is about £32, a 300m² lawn about £72. The mechanical jobs are priced separately: scarification typically £50–£120, hollow-tine aeration £40–£90, overseeding £40–£100 depending on size.
National franchises publish similar per-treatment prices, so independents win on the same number with better attention, not on being cheap.
If you're the one pushing the spreader
Lawn care is a plan business, not a jobs business: five visits a year, invoiced per treatment, renewing by default. A £42 treatment on a 150m² lawn takes well under an hour on site — the economics come from route density and retention, and the autumn scarify/aerate upsell can double a customer's annual value in one conversation.
The full method — treatment programmes, pricing, the renewal letter — is in The Lawn Care Works, £47.
Pricing questions, answered plainly
How much do lawn treatments cost in the UK?
A seasonal feed-and-weed treatment on a typical 100–250m² lawn is £30–£45 per visit in 2026 on an annual plan of four to six treatments, priced at roughly £0.28–£0.32 per m² with a £20 minimum. A 100m² lawn is about £32, a 300m² lawn about £72; larger lawns climb from there.
How much does scarifying a lawn cost?
Scarification on a typical suburban lawn is £50–£120 as a standalone autumn job, often bundled with aeration (£40–£90) and overseeding (£40–£100) into an autumn renovation. It is priced separately from the regular treatment plan because it is slower, mechanical work.
What is an autumn lawn renovation?
Scarifying, hollow-tine aeration and overseeding done together in autumn — the manual's single biggest upsell. Bundled it runs roughly £180–£260, less than paying for each separately, and it's what turns a tired lawn around before winter. The calculator takes the bundle saving off the total automatically when you tick all three.
Is a lawn treatment plan cheaper than one-off treatments?
No — a one-off treatment is the same per-visit price as a plan treatment. The plan isn't a discount; it wins on retention, route density and the customer not having to rebook. Operators discourage one-offs on that basis, not on price.
How many lawn treatments a year does a UK lawn need?
Four to six across the year — early spring, late spring, summer, autumn, and optionally a winter treatment. That programme is the standard plan most UK operators sell.
