How would you price out this job? Specs- 22ksqft thick lawn 470 ft of trimming -clippings need to be collected and dumped 20 to 30 feet on another side of a stone wall. I was given this job and now almost wish I hadn't taken it. more info 2 men with 52 hydro w/b 45 minutes of cutting ( 90 total) 5-10 trim- blow
Thanks for any info

45 min for 22k sq of cutting w/ 2 men? 90 TOTAL!?! One holding each handle of the w/b?

Seriously though... if this isn't a joke, a 22k sq lawn usually takes 45 min for me alone... bagged. Add 20 min to trim (including edge)470ft of trimming is nothing... and you can dump the grass there!!! For free... Whats the problem?

I get $75 for a high end 22k lawn bagged here... grass dumped in woods. Keep in mind, this is a super manicured, ultra-meticulous, walker-cut, edged-beds-every-week-lawn. If its an s-hole... it should be even faster, maybe $60. In my neck of the woods, $55 is a little on the cheap side... although you can dump there, so maybe not.

i would bid 65 per cut and would not bag. mulch clippings is better for lawn. 70-75 to bag

hoagie- 45 min 2 guys 90 total cut time no fooling around. This was the problem that I was having with the lawn. 22k isn't all that big but it does grow fast and it isn't as simple as just bagging and dumping. the lawn is built up so you have to go over the stone wall across the drive then dump it into the woods. we have to use planks to get the mowers over the wall and on to the lawn. The owner doesn't want it mulched- I tried triple cutting there were still to many clippings- this is one of the thickest lawns I have seen. This is why I added this post- size wise $55 is ok but mowing time is at a min. $90+. I'M really thinking of dropping this lawn because it is alittle out of my way and right now the money sucks. THANKS
Any Ideas of how to do it faster- other than not showing up J/K
