Lawn mowing pricing questions
How much should I charge to mow a lawn?
Turf area times your rate per 1,000 square feet gets you a consistent number. Add a minimum so small yards cover drive time, and charge extra for overgrown first cuts.
Should I price mowing by the hour or by the yard?
By the yard. Customers want to know the price before you come, and pricing by area rewards you for getting faster instead of slower.
