Weed control costs $50 to $125 per application for spraying, $50 to $100 per hour for hand-pulling, or $150 to $400 per acre on residential lawns (HomeGuide, August 2025)1. Angi and HomeAdvisor are corporate siblings, and their pages match on the headline figures: a $95 average per treatment for a 1/4-acre yard, with most homeowners paying $50 to $150 within a $35 to $400 range; matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration, with HomeGuide providing the separate comparison23. All figures are the latest published data from each source.
Cost by lawn size
HomeGuide’s per-application table, with minimum service fees of $40 to $150 applying for the first hour of work1:
| Lawn size | Weeding price per application |
|---|---|
| 1/8 acre (5,445 sq ft) | $20 – $50 |
| 1/6 acre (7,260 sq ft) | $25 – $65 |
| 1/5 acre (8,712 sq ft) | $30 – $80 |
| 1/4 acre (10,890 sq ft) | $40 – $100 |
| 1/2 acre (21,780 sq ft) | $75 – $200 |
| 3/4 acre (32,670 sq ft) | $115 – $300 |
| 1 acre (43,560 sq ft) | $150 – $400 |
| 2 acres (87,120 sq ft) | $300 – $800 |
The siblings publish per-treatment averages instead of ranges by size: $35 for a 1/8-acre yard, $95 for 1/4 acre, and $200+ per acre, with minimum fees starting at $30 (Angi) and a 1,000-square-foot lawn at $30 to $60 (HomeAdvisor)23.
Cost by treatment method
Angi and HomeAdvisor publish one identical herbicide-type table per 1/4 acre, shown beside HomeGuide’s method figures — divergences as published:
| Method | Angi & HomeAdvisor (per 1/4 acre) | HomeGuide |
|---|---|---|
| Herbicide spraying | $60 – $180 | $50 – $125 per application (up to 10,000 sq ft) |
| Pre-emergent | $60 – $150 | — |
| Post-emergent | $75 – $170 | — |
| Weed and feed | $50 – $180 | $50 – $200 per application (table); its text averages $50 – $150 |
| Non-selective | $40 – $165 | — |
| Selective | $75 – $200 | — |
| Organic | $80 average | — |
| Hand-pulling | $30 – $300 ($30 – $100 per hour) | $50 – $100 per hour |
Both HomeGuide and Angi state that organic herbicides cost 30% more than chemical versions — matching figures from separately owned publishers, which alone don’t establish independent corroboration12. HomeAdvisor prices corn gluten meal at $50 to $165 per treatment, and subscription plans at a 10% to 15% yearly savings3. Where weed abatement is required under local fire-hazard codes, Angi prices that specialized service at $70 to $120 per treatment2.
Herbicide product prices
Per-gallon prices as published by HomeGuide — coverage and application rates follow the selected product label1:
| Herbicide type | Price per gallon |
|---|---|
| Chemical | $8 – $35 |
| Organic | $20 – $45 |
| Selective | $10 – $20 |
| Non-selective | $8 – $25 |
Weed barrier fabric runs $0.05 to $0.25 per square foot on HomeGuide — $0.05 to $0.10 for plastic, $0.10 to $0.15 for landscape fabric, and $0.15 to $0.25 for burlap1. For DIY browsing, Home Depot’s weed killer category covers sprays and concentrates (non-affiliate link).
Ongoing service and add-ons
Yearly lawn care packages bundling fertilizer and weed control run $30 to $100 per visit on HomeGuide and in Angi’s maintenance figures — matching figures from separately owned publishers, which alone don’t establish independent corroboration12. Standalone maintenance visits run $50 to $150 per visit or $20 to $150 per hour (Angi)2. Add-on services as published: the siblings match at $150 to $400 for mulching, $75 to $250 for aeration, $75 to $300 for dethatching, $30 to $150 for mowing, and $85 to $500 for fertilizing, while HomeGuide’s figures diverge — aeration $100 to $300, mowing $30 to $65, mulch installation $35 to $70 per yard, and pest control $250 to $400, with dethatching matching at $75 to $300 (matching figures alone don’t establish independent corroboration)123. Per-visit pricing by provider on HomeGuide: Lawn Doctor $50 to $100 and TruGreen $50 to $125 for a 5,000-to-10,000-square-foot lawn1.
