Jake's Lawn and Fences is a full-service residential yard contractor operating in Oklahoma City that handles both lawn care and fence work, distinguishing it from single-specialty competitors in a market where most providers focus on one or the other. The business serves homeowners across the metro area who want consistent maintenance or a new fence from a single point of contact rather than juggling separate companies.
The company operates as a two-service outfit: routine lawn maintenance (mowing, edging, cleanup) and fence installation and repair. This pairing reflects a practical reality of Oklahoma City's residential market, where many homeowners need both. The business is small enough to be owner-managed but large enough to handle jobs across multiple Oklahoma City neighborhoods. It is not a design-focused landscape firm; it does not do extensive plantings or hardscaping beyond fences.
Jake's offers standing weekly or biweekly mowing contracts and one-time cleanup jobs. Weekly mowing in Oklahoma City typically runs $45 to $65 per visit for a standard residential lot, though pricing varies by lot size and grass condition. Biweekly service costs less per week but requires confirming current rates, as seasonal growth changes the workload between spring and summer. Fence work includes wood privacy fencing, vinyl, and chain-link installation, plus repairs to existing fences. New wood privacy fencing in the Oklahoma City area ranges from $2,500 to $4,500 for a 100-linear-foot section, depending on materials and site prep. Vinyl costs more upfront but requires less maintenance. Confirm specific pricing for your lot size and material choice directly; pricing changes based on lumber and material costs.
Most Oklahoma City lawn care companies specialize in either mowing or landscape design, not both. Providers like Landscape Maintenance Professionals focus primarily on design and large-scale projects; they charge more per visit but handle complex plantings and drainage work. Jake's appeals to homeowners who want straightforward mowing without upselling toward landscape renovations. For fence work specifically, dedicated fence contractors such as those operating through Oklahoma City's building permit system often undercut combination providers on materials but may have longer lead times. Jake's single-company model works best for homeowners who value one contact for both services over shopping for the lowest price on each job separately. If your primary need is complex landscaping design, a specialty firm is the stronger choice. If you want routine mowing and a fence project handled by the same crew, Jake's avoids coordination overhead.
This service fits homeowners in Oklahoma City who need regular lawn maintenance and have fencing on their to-do list, especially those who prefer scheduling convenience over the lowest per-job cost. It also suits properties where lawn condition is typical for the region (not severely degraded or requiring soil amendment). Homeowners seeking specialty services such as native Oklahoma plantings, irrigation design, or commercial grounds maintenance should look elsewhere. Properties requiring heavy tree work or stump removal are also outside the scope.
A typical first mowing visit begins with a walk-through to note lot size, obstacles, mowing height preference, and any areas to avoid. For fence jobs, Jake's usually performs a site visit to measure the perimeter, identify property lines, check for underground utilities via Oklahoma One Call (a requirement before digging in Oklahoma), and provide a quote. Once a mowing contract is agreed, the crew shows up on the scheduled day; for fence work, installation is scheduled after permit and utility clearance, which adds one to two weeks.
Jake's operates during typical Oklahoma City daylight hours, generally spring through fall for regular mowing, with reduced winter service. Confirm current scheduling availability before committing to a weekly contract, as Oklahoma City's seasonal rainfall affects demand significantly. Parking on residential properties is standard; the business brings equipment to each job. Contact Jake's directly to verify current rates and book a site visit; pricing fluctuates with material and fuel costs.
The combination of mowing and fencing eliminates the friction of coordinating two vendors, a real convenience in a sprawling metro area. For homeowners whose fence has deteriorated and whose lawn needs regular attention, having both under one management simplifies scheduling and accountability.
