With my route filling in I will not bother with any lawn under $30. The only exception to this would be a small yard in a neighborhood I already have accounts in. Even then it would not be much less than $30.
Right now, I don't have anything that I bill out less than $50/per for. But, I do more than "mow, blow and go". I'm not saying I wouldn't service a lawn for less than that....if the circumstances were convenient.
Just got back I was pricing her lawn and her neighbor, was leaving for work and said price mine to so I said I would do both for $45. I got it figured not bad both lawns weekly cuts in and out 20 min Posted via Mobile Device
Won't drop the gate for less than $40 a cut (with discounts on yearly plans, that rate drops). Doesn't matter where it is. I mow all my neighbors yards, no travel time, no wear on the truck, no gas to get there. two are $40, one is $50.
If it requires some type of drive, that is more important than what you quote them. How much extra time and gas will it take to get to this yard? Probably much more time than it takes to do the yard.
BS. I honestly think you have no idea of what you are talking about. Part of the cost is not just in the lawn, it is the drive to/from and loading and unloading of equipment. Whether it is an acre or 5,000 square feet you still have the cost of the drive and the time wasted loading and unloading equipment.
my cheapest i do personally is 12.00 for a area right next to my office it takes 4 minutes No additional work , mowed when i mow my area
30.00 would be the min regular adn if i was getting as low a fuel milage as alot it would be 50.00
if they are wanting weekly and it is around other properties of yours on the same days then 25. If it is bi weekly 30. If it is a one time job charge as much as you possibly can. A lot of times a nice car in the driveway can give you an idea of their budget.

My minimum is $40 but I have one at $25 that is the same stop as 2 others and it's a tiny cottage lot. The front is about 100 sq feet and the back can't be more than 1000 sq feet.
I try to give people an option for prices if they are right beside one I already have, and let me do it the same day. I have some people that dont want it cut on monday when im already there, but i say that the price is double if I have to come back later in the week for a special trip. Some people are willing to pay double actually. I was surprised the first time it happened.
