Oh showing up on time does mean something, it shows your dependable, don't ever think otherwise, I wish I could help you on your estimate but I just don't have enough info...

Hey I price my thatching on the lawn cut, my mowers have thatchers on them so If i cut a lawn for 30 it would be 60x how erver many times I go over the lawn. Plus a despoal fee which is my my compost pile so it's more profit for me. On the mulch spreading I charge 25-30 a yard depending on the terrain. If i use my need tractor it's $45 per yard.
