Money maker!!4 of us could get that whipped into shape in 2 hours. We will have 2 zeros my tractor 4 weed eaters. 2 edgers. 4 hedge trimmers 2 blowers.
100 bucks.
Just remember this rule,That’s why I cut my own.
I gave my yard a price last year when my wife asked how much I would charge for it.
It came out to about $65 per cut for basic.
Detail blowing, picking up debris (7 large pine trees 2 Magnolias, and 6 large oaks from the neighbor on the property line and 2 gums by the road) and what ever misc would easily add another $60-80 per week.
Needless to say, I give my own yard about a $40 job.
Do u have a grass catcher in that push mower. I’d like the pine straw replaced also.A man in good shape with a push mower and a weed wacker could make an absolute killing offa some o these rich folks yards. You could have your equipment paid off on the first job.
Well at least u don’t have to load up to get there.I think I'll start paying myself to cut my yard. It takes 2hrs to cut and trim. I'll figure my more and weed eater should be worth $80/hr. $160 every 2 weeks would give me a fairly nice supplemental income per month
You apparently have never bought mowers, weedeaters, trucks, trailers, blowers, backpack sprayers, chemicals, licenses, insurance, couple hundred gallons of gas a week, and hired employees and paid their taxes, SS, and workman's comp.
Words to live by. Same concept applies for selling things.Just remember this rule,
Whenever someone has to hire out work whatever the price it is alway too much.
Whenever someone applies for work they are always worth more than that. Hope this helps.
DON'T DO IT.I think I'll start paying myself to cut my yard. It takes 2hrs to cut and trim. I'll figure my more and weed eater should be worth $80/hr. $160 every 2 weeks would give me a fairly nice supplemental income per month
You half to be at 300 minimum a month on contracts now, Especially if you have employees,The going rate is 18/22 hr on maintenance. If you have a construction crew also that is 23/30 per hr easy.So you run multiple crews, Fuel is flying out the window, Add equipment 3/4 grand a week easy in fuel, That may be conservative .I've run the numbers before and I don't see how they make a living. Take my case...$200 a month for cutting the grass, trimming the shrubs and debris removal, 4 times a month. The crew is you and two employees.
Suppose you had 60 yards under contract. I figure you can cut 10 yards a day, if you really hump it, due to loading and unloading equipment, drive time between yards, lunch, rain delays, etc.
So you are working 6 days a week, long days at that, for $12,000 a month. That's $144,000 a year. Then paying all the above expenses that NCHB has noted. At least $40-$50,000 would come off the top to pay your two employees.
Profit would be thin.
Also, I bet the owner spends his Sunday's getting his gear repaired and stocked for the next week.
And I have not even mentioned those people who cancel service for 3-4 months after the last fall leaves have been blown off.
I can see why working at Walmart, Home Depot or Lowe's would have an appeal. You make $15-$20 an hour, get benefits and vacation, plus you work in a climate controlled building to boot.
I thought it was the St Johns River, Palatka Florida.
Taree I can’t pell.It’s on lake eufaula the bas capital of the world.
Well, he did say Lake” Eufala” is the "bas" capital, so you both could be right.
My father has cut grass on the side since before I was born, I believe his minimum show up price is now well over $100 for a "mow, blow, and go" service, it doesnt matter if your yard is a tenth of an acre. He stays covered up in work.Well several lawn cares said they mow a acre for around 80 average.
So that yard is every bit of 2 range.
Just to mow I’d say 150 to 200 by most places. No hedges no nothing else.
TK you’re gonna be responsible for Sinclair stroking out.I'll just stick to my natural lawn. View attachment 1223016
