I agree with Earthworks on this. I have run into the same thing in the past and still do. Your price seems fair, but that price can differ on the location that you are in. In my part of the country, which is a small rural southern town, the going price of a 1 acre lawn with normal trimming would be in the 40 to 50 dollar range. It is hard to get a higher price when you have a ton of guys running around in a beatup truck or car pulling a homemade trailer with small res. mowers that are doing these jobs for a lot less than you charge. I got rid of a customer 3 years ago because she wouldn't pay more to have her 1/2 acre yard mowed and bagged each time (she didn't want her poodle to track grass into the house). I informed her at the beginning of the season that the price would be higher for the new year, she had a fit, told me she could get it done cheaper, I told her to go ahead, she later called me back saying she would pay the higher price. But I had already filled the vacancy left by her, but I did refer her to one of my competitors (poor guy). <p>There is big difference between a guy who charges the prices we do and the guy who is running the cheap residential mowers, and that is the QUALITY of the job we do. My home is on a main street in our town and everybody who drives by can see the quality of my work. <p>Don't drop your price to get a customer like this one, in the long run you will be sorry you did. If you do, she will ask you to do more work but then throw a fit to see if you will drop the price on the new work. Move on to bigger and better things, don't worry about this one customer.<br><p>----------<br>Richard @ Davis Total Lawn Care<br>http://townserver.com/dtlc
