OK. But how do you justify 85usd per hour so 680usd a day to your clients? I'm sure your liabilities are a tiny fraction of that or am I wrong? Could you list them if possible? I do the same job in the UK but can't see how tools and liabilities come even close to that amount if money.
@@thomaskoukouris4070 I also own a lawn care business so please allow me to address your question a bit. A full lawn care/leaf cleanup set up includes: commercial level zero turn with a bagging system, At least one walk behind push mower preferably at least 30 inch wide (plus maybe a regular 21 inch) depending on the lawns you have to do,two powerful backpack blower’s and Weedwhacker’s. in order to haul all that stuff you’re going to need a trailer preferably enclosed but either way it should be at least 12 foot long and 6 foot wide minimum. In order to tow something like that you’re going to need at least a full-size pick up truck think of an F150 or bigger, preferably a three-quarter ton with an 8 foot bed so that you can have either a dump or insert or at least a box in order to haul away leaves grass clippings and brush. Even if you get all your equipment used for a phenomenal price you’re looking at an absolute minimum of $50,000+ Worth of equipment. Then there is maintenance and replacement of equipment not to mention simply the gas to power all of these things up (I spend a minimum $500 a month in gas alone) it’s incredibly difficult to do all this work alone so you’re gonna have to hire someone at a minimum rate of $20 an hour, Plus ideally you’re also paying worker’s Comp. and all sorts of payroll, business, income taxes and we haven’t even mentioned insurance for both your business and your equipment! This stuff isn’t free! It all cost money and so does your time you should view all of those things as employees that need to get paid. And taken care of. I bill out at a rate of $75 an hour which is relatively low but I take home maybe $30-$35 an hour best case scenario. And that is only an ideal circumstances. For those billing out $50 an hour or less it’s just a matter of time before you get burnt out or put yourself out of business. You have got to think it through this is an incredibly expensive business to run and it’s also a lot of hard work. I am anxious to hear your rebuttal. Please explain how it is NOT Worth at least $75 an hour?
@@justinlpugh I agree it’s pretty rare that I ever do that but it is good to educate the customer on what is involved and why you have to charge what you do based on equipment time effort energy and expense.

Very informative! Thank you for giving a detailed insight into your business thinking. It all makes perfect sense to me. I'm a landscape gardener in Belgium, so its fascinating to compare and contrast techniques, kit & machinery, and rates, and also get your nuggets of wisdom on life in general 🤓
Excellent information as always!! I'm amazed by how much everyones dump fees vary by location....we pay $7 a yard to dump up here in Ohio. I could literally listen to you talk business all day!!!
I don’t have a lawn business but I enjoy watching your videos especially when it is you and James. You guys work very well together. Why is James not with you all the time, or does he run another crew? About the talking on videos LOL, if I feel too much talk, I mute. I still enjoy the video. I know you have another channel with no talking but I sometimes enjoy the silliness you talk about. May God continue to bless you family and your business 🙏🏼😊👍🏼👏🏼
Your right. Man leafs are tricky. Sometimes you think it’s gonna take a lot or two trips and it’s only one trip. Sometimes you think it’s not too much and it ends up being two trips. Very tricky to determine
Great video thanks! Just paid $75 to dump what was in back of my pickup’s 6ft bed here in Houston. Jealous of the price you pay! About to switch over to $75/hr for leaf clean up. Customers truly have lost the sense of how hard leave clean up is!
Nice video! I'm a solo O/O and operate on a happy price of $50/hr. I always add 1 hour to my estimates for dump cost and time. I buy a $250 dump permit that gets me 30 dumps. That price you pay is gold😮 Just subbed btw👍
the riding lawn mower he rides has a big bag attachment and they'd save a lot of hours sucking them up instead of blowing them around. Then using their large sucker to empty it.
leaf blowing videos are my favorite. and i am from fort smith and used to go to tulsa all the time. please post another one of a massive cleanup and don't talk much please. let us enjoy the massive leaf cleanup. i live in florida now. it is was there in tulsa and i saw you do a leaf cleanup, i would get out of my car and walk up to you and rip that blower out of your hand and takeover the cleanup myself. ha ha ha
I live in an area with few leaves, at least nothing like this place. I have been thinking about moving to Arkansas, now after watching your video, I'm not sure I want the trouble.
Bruh come to Baltimore and you'll be paying $100/ton. It dont matter what you got leaves, couches, a whole house fuck they charge you to dump metal over here at the dump
@@Frompushmowertoprofits Not too many businesses out there which the first year gets the okay grade and it will be, "better, this year" forecast! Let me guess! The leaves falling from tree's, onto the ground, looks like cash to you, right?
forsure man. I started scheduling videos on Monday and Friday. when I have the time i will fit in some more here and there but i took your recommendation
I like the $85 per man hour for leaf removal. I have to tarp the leaves and blow or pull them off the trailer. How do you price lawns where you're mulching the leaves only?
cost of goods sold + overhead recovery + profit= job cost. you can break that into an hourly rate for any job. if you dont know your man hour rate the best approach is to charge higher than your competitors. I raised my prices past what i thought i could make in my area and i sell on value and confidence they only way that i could do that is by knowing what my business cost me. I will say not knowing what your pricing should be and backed up by true numbers from your business is like being blind folded and told to walk in the middle of the highway. you dont know where you are going to end up and you're going to get run over alot. if you track your expenses and revenue generated in quickbooks you will have quick access to all the numbers you need and then its just plug and play. this is a great time of the year to spend time on that.
I've done leaves for a few years now and charged a flat hourly rate there's just me and another guy normally and I'm barely getting by every year I'd like to hear some tips that could possibly help maybe an option from someone more experienced on what I could do to better grow my business and be able to put money aside to invest in newer equipment and maintenance and whatnot
You need to get your self a scag roll around leaf blower save your self time back ache and money on fuel...I have a Husqvarna 580 back blower wich does good its for certain yards but the scag blower will put ANY back pack to shame its 2 maybe three times more powerful I love it and it's not that expensive worth it
Who else fast forwards every single video on UA-cam to get past all the non sense lol. We’re all here for the good stuff which usually starts around 5 min in to EVERY video 👈🙂
dude that property is tooo big for us hahahhaha. here in toronto canada,average charges $50 hour a person and big company charges between $65 to $75 hour a person. it does cost alot living here,cheapest one bedroom apartment is $1500 so it makes sense
Thank you for your videos!! Quick question on this one, how do you "vacuum" the mulched leaves you corralled ? Homeowner here with a similar sized property as this one (or at least with a lot of trees and leaves) and looking at a way to do this myself without practically doing leaf collection my full time job!! 😂😂
Hi ! If you have a sit down mower then put the blade deck on the highest setting. Blow leaves even across lawn and mulch. What ever is over (not much) blow out and same way as before. If you dont have a sit on mower then blow into pile onto a tarp/plastic and use as compose away from view. // Yes Im 1year from a reply but being in the buisness for 35years its the best solution if you cant be bothered, Pjm Sweden
85/hr??? I'm a nurse and don't make that much. What's wrong with this picture? I'm about to change careers. Bravo to you sir. I commend your business acumen.
Ya man i didn't realize how good we had it until i mentioned it. I have heard some crazy prices for dump fee. There is no way that they are making any money. I am pretty sure that the city has such low pricing so that they can keep people from illegally dumping. Its also pretty cool for residents that are not in business because it is completely free. thanks for supporting the channel Johnny!
I am a gardener in Vienna ! I can tell you not to have an headage over the time or prices. You also had plentyfull equipmet to finance !

So i had enough money to deal with. The prices are different , depends on the property ! And we are not in a hour / price carusell because i make pauschal prices . I say how much the property costs and the client pays for it. I must also say , the price in Vienna is 30% higher than yours . All the things we transported away is extra to pay .

Love that you're charging by the hour! Like you, I don't like the unknowns that often work against you. For those of us that might be concerned about customers objecting to the hourly vs the fixed quote, was it a pretty easy transition?
just rub it in with that $1.65 dump fee 😂 thankfully most of my leafups are free on-street pickup by the township, but if i have to take them, yep the dump costs are passed on to the customer, so no i don't make a ton on dumping, but i don't lose money on it either. this footage....it's almost as if it was just _yesterday_ i saw it 🤔🤔😂
the other day i took a leaf clean up project thinking that it was gonna be easy it took me about 5 hours to clean up that shit!!! at the end of the day i felt bad too charge what i considered that was fair to the lady and charged only 350 lesson learned even when something looks easy it might take longer than you think 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
TIM from Canada I cannot believe you have to pay to dump yard waste it is fucking unbelievable where I am well anywhere in Canada if you have yard waste it’s free to dump where I am in Ontario the city dump as long as you have yard waste anything leaves leaf bags .. any type of bush as long as it is yard waste it is always free now there’s got to be a place where you are that you do not have to pay to dump yard waste I cannot believe you have to pay it boy what a gimmick. Yard waste should be free to dump because it is nothing. These are my thoughts on what I see paying to dump yard waste that is some stupid stuff
If your a resident you can bring leaves to the dump for free as a contractor they charge me a small fee but it's nothing to complain about. People have said some crazy dump prices on my videos like $100+ that is CRAZY.
100%. Side note I grew up around horses and james and I had to clear the pasture and pole barns.....i use to throw dried horse nuggets at james and he hated it😂😂😂 to me it was just grass
Some people have more money than sense. Why would someone pay you a grand to clean up leaves which probably has to happen twice a year rather than buying a used (or new) riding mower with a bagger and a blower.
Well they dont have to breath in the dust and they dont have to put out the large amount of physical labor they also dont have maintain that equipment or loss all of that time that they could spend doing anything else in life that they enjoy. I know that it looks easy but it can be very hard work. A new mower is is going to be 5 - 10k by the way😎🤘
Kevin you are using the wrong equipment for this job. Should not be using a mower to push leaves. Should be using a large leaf blower like a Skagg Rider for main areas and back pack around the house. Cut your time in half. Worth the investment.........
*sorry just finished the video and left with so much more content... guys making $55+ an hour picking up leafs” and doesn’t want to pick up the phone “after hours”, c’mon man~Bidon. Then preaches about not being drunk or high off duty... no one cares what you do on your own time but at that hourly rate you better answer the phone unless it’s a holiday. Guess I’m ranting again but it’s sad that our generation is “above” taking a business phone call at dinner time, on a holiday, or drinking with the boys. Had it happen several time in my house, I just tell my kids dad has to work at anytime, it’s why you have nice things. Regardless Semper FI out!
@@littleeagle7563 I don't know what to tell you maybe you cant sell at the same prices i do. maybe your market is different. maybe my numbers look different than you. there are a lot of factors but what i know for sure is my prices are right for me. thank you for watching though.
If you spend a whole day on 1 property with 2 guys 1k is a perfectly fine price. You have to pay yourself and overhead for the equipment plus taxes and more. 20-30% is taxes right there.

it is funded by our city taxes
How much did you charge for this job? This is a $1000+ job no way I touch this property for less. Lol
$1100 ....that was a massive clean up!
1.65 wow yur lucky its 100 dollars a ton here in california and up

What dump u go to?
we have loads of places near me that accept clean fill for free.
you shouldnt have to pay to dump friggin leaves.

Yard waste should be free to dump because it is nothing. These are my thoughts on what I see paying to dump yard waste that is some stupid stuff
If your a resident you can bring leaves to the dump for free as a contractor they charge me a small fee but it's nothing to complain about. People have said some crazy dump prices on my videos like $100+ that is CRAZY.
👍
I have horses and i can smell why horse sh*t smells like it does its because of the grass the dump smells like horse Sh*t
100%. Side note I grew up around horses and james and I had to clear the pasture and pole barns.....i use to throw dried horse nuggets at james and he hated it😂😂😂 to me it was just grass

That's a lot of leaves
$100 an hour for my time.
I buy a riding lawn mover muncher and bag before I paid that price
Some people have more money than sense. Why would someone pay you a grand to clean up leaves which probably has to happen twice a year rather than buying a used (or new) riding mower with a bagger and a blower.
Well they dont have to breath in the dust and they dont have to put out the large amount of physical labor they also dont have maintain that equipment or loss all of that time that they could spend doing anything else in life that they enjoy. I know that it looks easy but it can be very hard work. A new mower is is going to be 5 - 10k by the way😎🤘
@@LawnCareJuggernaut why are you mowing the leaves before blowing them did the customer ask for that?
@@505fastlife6 because he can. He can do whatever he wants when it comes to his work. As long as it gets done
Business is business. Sorry that landscapers make more money than you Todd
Kevin you are using the wrong equipment for this job. Should not be using a mower to push leaves. Should be using a large leaf blower like a Skagg Rider for main areas and back pack around the house. Cut your time in half. Worth the investment.........
It would have been really nice to have on this job for sure
*sorry just finished the video and left with so much more content... guys making $55+ an hour picking up leafs” and doesn’t want to pick up the phone “after hours”, c’mon man~Bidon. Then preaches about not being drunk or high off duty... no one cares what you do on your own time but at that hourly rate you better answer the phone unless it’s a holiday. Guess I’m ranting again but it’s sad that our generation is “above” taking a business phone call at dinner time, on a holiday, or drinking with the boys. Had it happen several time in my house, I just tell my kids dad has to work at anytime, it’s why you have nice things. Regardless Semper FI out!
what the hell are you talking about lol
That is not what the employees/ owner take home. It is a formula to run a successful business. Thank you for your service.
i'd do it for $300 by myself.
not nice job dud you better lifted not shipped
Just robbing people.
Ok go out and do it for a day and see what it takes😎🤘
@@LawnCareJuggernaut been doing it for 24 years.
@@littleeagle7563 I don't know what to tell you maybe you cant sell at the same prices i do. maybe your market is different. maybe my numbers look different than you. there are a lot of factors but what i know for sure is my prices are right for me. thank you for watching though.
If you spend a whole day on 1 property with 2 guys 1k is a perfectly fine price. You have to pay yourself and overhead for the equipment plus taxes and more. 20-30% is taxes right there.
Too much talking
❤️👍
