Aeration Estimate

[DA Quality Lawn & YS]

For all you northern LCO's out there:

What would be your charge for Spring aeration/clean up for a suburban home on a nearly 1/2 acre lot with right about 15K sq feet of turf? I will leave the cores on the turf and will blow the sidewalks/driveway clean. Sprinkler heads WILL have to be marked on this one. Will aerate the major turf areas in two directions.

I am going to est. $175.00. Will use a walk behind Bluebird or Ryan.

I have aerated before, but this is my first season doing it for fee. Thus the reason I am asking - want to know if I am in the right ballpark. Thanks for everyone's input.

In this area you are looking at 2 -230 for a good aeration.That means not some young boys with the big companies flying around on the lawn..Lot of work as you know ..Good luck

i think to do 1x it will take you roughly 1 hour with a walk behind
plus your drive time , expenses etc...

my price for 1x core aerate on 15k (average-easy lawn)
would be $135
to do a 2x aerate i charge 1.5times reg cost - 202.50

these are numbers that work for me and my business
you will figure out where your numbers need to be
after you start doing a few more jobs

g/l
btw-
most of us have a very high margin for aeration, cause it sucks to do,
hopefully we will all maintain that high margin to justify this svc and
not cut each others balls

I just charge 4 times the mowing rate for aerating since its about 4 time the work.

About 230.00 dollars for a double aeration. But what do you mean by clean up? Blowing off the concrete? If yes 230.00
