lawn maintenance rates?


GBW

Recommended Posts

Does anyone here pay to get your yard work done? A guy across the st. from me lives in the USA and has a home here for the summer. In the winter I took care of the snow removel for him (at a fee). Now he's asking me for a rate to cut the grass and do the edging for the whole season. The lot's 40' x 110' and I would say the home is around 2500 SQ feet. Thoughts on what I should charge? I sure hope he's not asking me to weed it cause it's bad...

In-laws pay 200 a month and it gets cut as often as needed, which is sometimes once a week and sometimes twice if is growing like crazy. Yes from a prof. compay in the GTA and not some neighbors kid. ( that would be better but there is none around). Thier lot is 50 by 220.

A lot like that is $40 bucks a cut, edging and garden weeding included(once a month). $160 a month. I am still in the Landscape biz but more silently now. Let me know if you are looking to sub this out, we have a property maintenance crew.

Geoff,

If you're interested in contracting this out, I could do it for about $780 per cut and you're good for 12% share. Cold hard cash.

I also do daycare for $600/hr (per child BTW) and would be willing to kick back maybe 21% to your wife.

I don't have any landscaping or daycare experience just yet but I'm thinking I could combine the two and learn 'on the job'. Can the little brats kids drive a lawn tractor??

Let me know, I'm just getting into this kind of stuff and looking for my first gigaroo.

In are subdivision, the works go from $280-$320 a month. Includes: turning beds, pruning, fertilizing, trimming, cutting, blowing, bagging and disposal. If your doing all that, $20 a week is nothing, factor in Gas, time and wear and tear.

$50 bucks a cut.... bottom line.

 

Thats roughly $1500 for the season ! Cutting and Trimming...... "Lawn Maintenance"

 

I deal with commercial cutters all the time. I have 3 that I look after myself ( Sell them Equipment )

 

$50 a cut seems to be the norm in my area

Well I can tell you that $600/hr is way to cheap just post here and let us know how your making out after 2 hours and again after 8 hours and then at 9 hours when the parents say were running late but will be right there. I would take nothing less then $1200 per booger picker.

 

Yes I have experience with wife runs a home daycare and I give her all the props in the world anything more I say will incriminate me :worthy:

 

And yes I give this post of the month vote also

It all depends on how much YOU want to do this job....not very interested...then $50 or more per cutting....need the money....make the price attractive to the customer...

True. So I told him $800 for the season of just cutting. He's going to call me again tomorrow. If he want's more then just the cutting my price goes up as I hate cutting the grass but I can use the extra $ for a few new fishing toys (like a much needed new rain suit).
