It's all dependent on what you do. I see guys do front yards only for $20 in 6 minutes, no string trimming, no edging, no blowing and leaving a mess while making $200 a hour in site. I don't get many customers because I have a $45 minimum which will provide me with $80 hr using a zt mower and $65 hr using a 30" wb mower. I just had my competition do a cleanup on a property I use to cut for $45 biweekly 33.75 minutes. It took him 140 minutes to do a lawn cleanup for $75 and I have charged $125 minimum for that jungle.
@@DependableDonsGarage I would only have made $78.49 per hour for the $45 service and if I consistently exceeded that 33.75 minutes average I would need to increase my price to meet my target hourly rate. I rarely have the same time on the same yard but work with an average baseline because I track every individual task and know where the time is spent. Time for completion might vary by 4 or 5 minutes because things happen.
$50 is now the $35 of the 1990’s
In my area. And mine is different from yours even though we are close in location. I have a 40 dollar minimum
Thats my minimum also. But i only have 2 and it takes longer to unload and load up than it does to mow them. One is literally 6 stripes with the 48”

33.75 minutes? What happened if it rained that extra bit that week and it took you 34.3974 minutes?

@@stevef.9659 and with all the tracking you do I’d have done the next yard already
1/2 acre is 45 for me unless there is a bunch of weedeating. And I charge 60 dollars for a acre and again unless there is a bunch of weedeating.
