Hey guys - we are looking at moving from a relatively high cost of living area to College Station.

What would you budget per month for pool and lawn maintenance? Yard will probably be a little bit above average on size. What do house cleaners generally run for every other week?

Appreciate any help you provide!

Ooh look at me, I have a pool and lawn.

Actually, have neither at the moment unfortunately… if you've got a good house, shoot me the cost on that too

Who has a lawn left in this heat?

We are paying $60 per mow/edge/weed eat and blow, which is about what we paid in Austin. This is on about a 1/2 acre lot.

We are paying $160 every two weeks to our housekeepers to clean a 3400 sq foot house. This is a lot higher than what we paid in Austin. We paid $120 every two weeks in Austin.

We do not have a pool service, but do have a pool. Our pool is pretty basic and small and we have a robot, so we are handling everything else. We might consider a service at some point, but we wanted to do it for a while so we could learn everything since this is our first pool.

That's very helpful. Thanks! Do you have an estimate for what the pool is costing you without a service? I've never owned one and am not necessarily looking to but trying to wrap my mind around it in case we find a house and it has one.

55 per cutting 1/3 acre lot, pool cleaning varies because it's 180 per mo +chemicals for weekly, and maid service is by weekly 120 for 3000 sft plus an outdoor kitchen and bath

Very good friends of mine and great people. Not always taking new customers but might be worth a call. We do bi weekly at home and weekly at our office. Pretty sure it's 120 per cleaning at home

Moves to a high cost of living area...worried about cost. Jesus. Can you please post pictures of your Tesla too? We are all dying to see.

man, i must have a major deal on housecleaning.

$65/week 2000sf

it's rarely the same people so I get something a little different every week BUT i don't have to do it and that's all that matters sometimes.

$100 every 2 weeks for maid
$45 every week during summer for lawn
pool- I do it myself , chemicals $50 a month max, I'd guess

Around 275 a month with better balanced pools . He provides chemicals.

45 a cut for lawn service every week. 1/3 acre.

Appreciate the responses. Very helpful.

No doubt this is the wealthiest country on earth, I clean my own house, the HOA includes lawn care and a beautiful pool. It is the best kept secret in Brazos County

So how much if your HOA fee?

1300 a year the green team mows every week and irrigation water is also included

Small yards? If not, I'll have to figure out where that is!
