What will this cost to maintain annually from a landscape contractor?

Annual maintenance costs vary by property size and design. In Salt Lake and Davis Counties, basic upkeep like mowing, fertilizing, and seasonal irrigation servicing typically runs $1,000–$2,500 per year. Properties with more features — flower beds, trees, retaining walls, or water features — can cost significantly more. Professional seasonal services like aeration, mulching, and winterization also add to the total. Some contractors offer annual maintenance packages, which may be more cost-effective than scheduling services individually. Ask for a customized estimate based on your project’s design. By budgeting for ongoing care, you’ll protect your initial investment and keep your yard looking its best year-round.
