San Marcos has thousands of off-campus rental properties tied to Texas State University enrollment. We keep those properties looking sharp year-round — through lease turnover, summer vacancy, and absentee ownership — without you having to manage it from a distance.
Lacey Oak Lawns provides subscription lawn mowing, edging, and property checks for off-campus rental properties in San Marcos, TX, including neighborhoods near Texas State University. This service is designed for the rental cycle typical of student housing — annual lease turnover around May and August, extended summer vacancy, multiple-roommate households, and landlords who often live outside San Marcos.
Weekly and bi-weekly subscription plans start at $50–$60 per visit depending on lot size. The optional Property Watch add-on (from $25/month) provides visual exterior checks, photo documentation, and owner notifications during scheduled visits — useful for absentee owners and for documenting property condition around lease turnover.
Student rentals near Texas State don't behave like a typical single-family rental. Leases usually turn over in a tight window each May and August, the property can sit vacant for six to ten weeks over the summer, and the tenants living there day-to-day aren't always the ones you can count on to notice a maintenance issue — or mow the yard.
We built our service around that reality. Your property stays on a consistent schedule whether it's occupied by four roommates or sitting empty in July, and you get a direct line to us — not a tenant who may or may not follow up.
Most student rentals go vacant for six to ten weeks between spring move-out and fall move-in. We keep mowing on schedule through the gap, so the property isn't overgrown — and isn't the reason for an HOA notice — when fall move-in day arrives.
Whether you're showing the property to next year's tenants in the spring or getting it ready for August move-in, curb appeal stays consistent without you having to schedule a special cleanup visit.
A large share of Texas State-area rental owners don't live in San Marcos. Automatic billing and our Property Watch add-on give you visibility and control without requiring you to be local.
We understand the May and August turnover crunch and the long summer vacancy stretch that comes with it — your schedule doesn't need to be re-explained every semester.
We work directly with the owner or property manager. Roommates and subletters don't need to be home, notified, or involved in scheduling.
Overgrown yards at vacant or under-maintained student rentals are a common source of violations. A consistent schedule keeps the property compliant regardless of who's living there.
Each property runs on its own Stripe subscription, billed automatically every one or two weeks — no invoices to track down between semesters.
San Marcos is our home base and our most-served city. Properties near Texas State are serviced on our regular Wednesday route.
