Is $40.00/hour a Fair Charge in Lawncare {Grass Cutting}?

Question

I have been in Business for 3 years now, and was wondering if my prices are at a fair market value. $40.00/hr. Grass Cutting...15.00/Hour Flower Bed Maintenance...

Answer 1

well that really all depends on how long it takes you to cut someones grass and maintain their flower beds. most people just charge by the yard instead of charging hourly for lawn care or at least that is the way the guy that cuts my lawn does it at 75 bucks amonths so yea you figure your chargeing basically 40 bucks a yard then yea i would go through you

Answer 2

Seems odd to me that the price of mowing is higher than the price of flower bed maintenance... A 10 year old kid can mow a lawn for $10, but it takes patience and experience to do a satisfactory job with landscaping.

I won't lie, I wouldn't pay $40 for a mowing period. But I would consider paying $15 per flower bed if I needed some help while on vacation IF the person was knowledgable and thorough.

Answer 3

Never pay hourly for these services, get a quote on what it would cost to do the certain job. Technically someone could cut your lawn in one hour, but they could then spread it out over 2 hours, so you need to get a quote for the job, not the time it takes.

Answer 4

I asked an identical question no longer too long in the previous. I purely like the scent of: Hoover/Vacuum cleanser New carpet & rugs Freshly revealed paper, whilst its heat and has that scent.. New books scent so purely actual! Thats all i will think of of for now.

Answer 5

depends on 1) the going rate in your area and 2) whether you have a good reputation that inspires a loyal following among customers

Answer 6

Forty dollars an hour to cut my lawn -- no way!! There are kids in my neighborhood who will mow my front and back yard for $10.00!!

Answer 7

i think that's a fair price,but with the price of fuel you might need to raise your rate some.
