Ask the man what he has paid this will give you a idea,charge enough to cover you cost you should know this travel time, fuel cost and so on.

ps i charge $25 per mow for a 1/8 acre for refaince

 

[Frontier-Lawn]

i was thinking $100wk or so

 

[Gilla Gorilla]

Is the 5 acres all grass or is there only 1 or 2 acres of actually lawn that will have to be mowed? This makes a huge difference when pricing.

 

[Flex-Deck]

Around here, 5 acres with normal trimming - $125 + $20 unload fee.

 

[Frontier-Lawn]

it sounded like most grass from his tone.


flex-deck is that per mow?

low!
whats the property like? rough field? trimming? that price is low even for a fast running ZTR, how long does it take you to mow a 1/8 acre? take that time multiply by 8, fudge it up a litlle to cover for error and charge accordingly per hour, time plus cost, who wants to work for 5 bucks an hour? Not me.

I would charge about 125/150 a cut. DONT UNDERBID THIS ONE. You will hate yourself if you do.

Yes that is per mow - That is my going rate around here.
