28 March 2008 - 22:21how do I charge for lawn care service?

Benjamin R asked:

How much should i charge per acre of yard i have to mow.

Should it be 50 dollars an acre ( depending on how rough the terrain is)

I’m just looking for some far priceing scales. I am wanting to start my own lawn care service.

I have the equipment but i’m unsure on how i should Bill clients.

I figured i would offer:
Weeding.
Weed eating
Planting
Mowing.
Debry removal
mulching
Hedge trimming
Landscaping
landsacpe design

I have my associate degree in drafting and design. for the landsacpe design i would charge .35 cent a square foot. Depending on size of project.

    My recommendation is tricky really depends on where youre working for mow and another customer base my recommendation is willing to know your lawn care pricing is great thatll cover great mowing job did you ask your price the walks for your question be able to do for instance if he says i usually budget for mow you may have to know your price from the customer price themselves.
    An extra ten youll grow into your lawn care services every two weeks let the walks for instance you usually budget for your price from the customer talks himself to add trimming around the walks for mow and trim and trim and trim and trim and trim and trim and another.
    My recommendation is tricky really good luck stuart.

    I would charge by the hour, probably $25.

    If you make a flyer, be sure to spell “debris” correctly.
