You buying the truck every 5 years, not every year.

Want me to do your taxes?

Actually I always hope to get at least 10 years out of my vehicles.

Like to mow a half acre it can be anywhere from $30-40. I have a large 6 acre account and its $115 every week during grow season. Grass grows crazy in south georgia, no need for fertilizer!

u only charge 115 bucks to mow a 6 acre property? how much is mowable

i try to get 35/ hr per man depending on the work it varies some customers i cut deal for if they have been with me awhile or are tight on money this year. Chain saw and tree work 50/hr and basic mowing is pretty much set rates most of my accounts are 20-30 dollar accounts

the two ponds take up two acres or so. and i dont have to trim the slope down to the ponds, if i did it would have to charge like $175 because the slopes are HUGE. but it only takes me 3 1/2 hrs or so for everything.
