call me crazy

[AND Lawncare]

I was thinking of charging $ 10 - $ 15 for mowing only on lawn service. How would this go over with homeowners ?

[1MajorTom]

a better idea would be to just mow them for free. then you wouldn't have the headaches of bililng and paperwork.

[DaughtryLC]

Why don't YOU pay them to cut, Kinda like going to the gym!!;)

:laugh: are you kidding me?

I think it would go over great with the homeowners......that is until about august when gas hits $4/gal and your homeowners are wondering where your at cause you had to sell your mower to put food on the table. the only way I would charge $15 for homeowners was if they lived in a 4 unit building owning their unit and shared a yard yeah that would be a great idea.

[GreenN'Clean]

Do you think Im crazy Im going to throw money in the street and write it off on my taxes?

You obviously are a very sharp business man. However, I think you can make more more money per hour if you go on Craigslist and prostitute yourself out to other men. Then you can make 100 roses per hour.

You won't last long mowing yards for $10-$15. You will have more customres than you can handle, but you will be flat broke.

What kind of nieghborhood are you talking about. If you are talking about row after row of townhomes that take you 15 minutes apiece, you might be able to make a buck at 15 apiece. That is if they are all together and you have them all. Not a good idea. A formula that worked for me when I first started out was to figure how much per hour it was going to cost me each hour that I was out. IE One hour=35 dollars. Uncle Sam is going to get his 10 dollars. Equipment is going to get its 6 dollars. Other cost , about 3. If nothing goes wrong leaves me with about 16 dollars. Not enough to make it worth my time. Therefore I must increase my hourly income to bring in enough money to pay my expenses and provide for myself.

[git-r-done]

nothing less than $35.00 other than that do it for free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CoreyD]

make your minimum $25 - $40 whatever fits best in your area and this minimum is for tiny yards that take maybe 15 miniutes to do
