What Is Your MINIMUM Price For Cutting Grass? | Our Monday Lawn Cutting Route 

You don’t touch a yard under $40 if you have employees and overhead. These people taking $25 lawns. I laugh at when they shut down their business. I don’t need every customer. I just want the good ones. Remember this people

My minimum is $50 just to drop the gate. My smallest property is around 3,000 square feet of grass and takes me 10-15 minutes to mow. Lawn mowing is a luxury service and if customers want service they need to pay my price. I used to budge and work with customers but that'll fall back on you. Good luck and have a great season!

Last season, my minimum starting rate was $40. As the season picked up and I added more customers, I started to change that starting rate to $45 for new customers. Towards the end of the season, I raised my minimum rate of up to $50. I was maxed out being solo and was actually turning work away once I hit 60 weekly customers. This 2023 season, I plan to start my minimum rate at $50 for 0-10,000 sq ft property. Have a great 2023 season!

I'm at a $40.00 minimum, but I absolutely agree with taking the $30.00 and Rollin On!

Smart thinking! Don't get greedy, and I think $30 is just fine for a yard, 6 mins, if you have another right down the road.

Same thing. New minimum is $55 but I’m the same way except I’ll drop to $40-45 for something in my route that takes under 10 minutes. Over a month that’s about 240 an hour to mow something like that. I’m solo and just aim for 85 an hour for mowing, 125 an hour for cleanups. 150 a yard for mulch.

Just looking back at your older videos since just finding you guys. Good info, keep up the good work! My minimum was $45 this year.

There's always those one off houses that are below minimum if they're in the route. All about route density for us. Our minimum is $50 this year. That's for 4000 sq ft and under. We also changed things up and don't do Biweekly anymore. Everything new that we take it Weekly service

Great content guys. I started in October of 2022 in Michigan and got a small taste of self employment doing spring cleanups. Currently charging 250 minimum for solo mulch jobs that take around an hour. Currently I’m snow blowing driveways for 65. Minimum and canvassing neighborhoods to doorhanger in February. I was going to have a 40 minimum, then decided on 50. That’s my absolute minimum for houses in my area though I plan on driving 10 minutes south to the other city where the houses are 400-750k on average. I think my minimum for those will be 60-65. I also want to focus on premium lawns with irrigation. I plan on focusing on lawn striping to really impress people when I park my trailer out front.

Thanks for the motivation this upcoming year, I try to get at least $40 but I’ll take a little less if need be

Northern upstate charges more. My company charges 75 an acre and $45 a lot depending on the layouts. $55 per bush and shrub depending on the shrub and bush $60 an hour for labore and $65 per man for clean ups. It's really good money down here right now

You seem to be getting more and more comfortable in front of the camera with each video! Keep those uploads comin’! Cheers! 🍺

I have a unique situation where I work in two seniors Parts one is 268 mobile homes I currently have 45 customers in that Park I charge $25 a lawn $22,000 just in that one Park there's another part that I'm growing in I charge $ I charge $35 lawn in that Park then I have medium-sized yards that I charge $50 minimum up to $75

I am in NJ l have min $50 put the small Property you did Is a good price $30.🤑👍👍👍

I'm in northern Hunterdon county about an hour from you. It's great to follow your videos being so close to you! My minimum is 40. Love your videos!

My minimum last seas was $40. Really pushing for $45 this season. However, like you, I have a few small ones that I charge less on. For example, I have a small hotel lot that takes me 7 minutes by myself for $30. Also do my old house in 12 minutes for $25 (single mom lives there now). I think a minimum is definitely needed, but if you can pick up a $30 yard that in your route, then you might as well do it imo.

Around 50-65 minimum here. Small towns here. If they're in need I cut them a break otherwise they get the 65 min.

My cheapest lawn is $60 and takes 45 min.. However i have some lawns that are more but only takes 20 min.. There is a landscaper shortage here, so people are happy if you agree to do it and do a nice job. Dont undercut the competition. In the end it becomes a race to the bottom. If someone doesnt like your price, then recommend them to someone that you know is even more expensive. This holds up your local market. There is enough work to go around, but not at $25. Trust the process

Last year my minimum was $40. I did carry over 2 lawns that are in the middle of my route like in your situation for $35.

Central Ct our minimum for 1/4 acre lot is $60. We bag, trim, edge. In and out in 20 minutes with two man crew and typically do 2.5/3 lawns an hour. We shoot for $90 per man per hour but with maintenance it’s tough and usually hit $85 per man per hour.

I'm an owner/operator without employees and the only overhead I have is insurance, fuel and maintenance. I'm in my fifth season of mowing, trimming & blowing. I started with a $40 minimum and am now transitioning to $50/hr on most of my jobs....$75/hr for spring/fall cleanups. Most of my jobs take around an hour, if it's a property with a lot of variables or a large property, then I charge $50/hr and time myself. I'm considering going totally over to timed pricing @ $50/hr and just time every lawn, then if you get stuck mowing overgrown lawns or do any additional work you're getting paid at that $50/hr rate. But like you I keep my mind open and make exceptions here & there for the small lawn next door for the elderly. I try to keep a volunteer mow going all the time for someone that needs it.

I like it at 50 min, 👍

Some lawns are really small the only require push mowers or so. Those the only ones I think of charging NO less than $30

I think $30 is fine good job.

We are out in Upstate NY. The way we charge is by man hour, sq footage does not do you justice if you have a long time customer. So for per man per hour our rate is $75. So if a house takes us minutes with two guys we like to charge $75.

Here in Massachusetts the house minimum 50

I get $40 for mine but I am retired and only move around my house and I don't have to drive.

My minimum is 35$. All my yards are in my own neighborhood and most have fences. As of now I still have a full time job and mow 30yds by myself.

dallas people are cheap i cant get many hits with my minimum at $45 on smaller yards. i did a pole and everyone is cutting the good neighborhoods that are about 6k sqft for $35 so i had to drop my minimum to grab those yards. Everyone was telling me the 35 dollar guys went up to 40 so hopefully i get more yards. I will then raise rates on future people. But $40 will be my lowest im sure.

New Subscriber here👍🏽

I live an hour away from anything... Cant imagine living near all those people..

50-70 bucks an hour no more no less. the job gets done. people who haggle can find someone else. Keep getting that green!

60 I’m in Connecticut

I would love to do a small front yard that takes about 6 minutes for $30 because that's $300 per hour. My $45 yds takes about 30 minutes which is only $90 hr. So bring on the front yard only cuts.

I see everyone on youtube with at least $45 minimum, yet here in houston, there are people still charging $25 per cut just to get hundreds of clients. They make it hard for us.

I have a Business to super lawn Care Idaho I charge $80.00

I would prefer the bigger yard the better and I’m charging 60 a mow for 6 or 7 condos And it takes me a hour with a rider but with a few spots with push mower

I’m $40 this year minimum. Was $35 last year 2022. Average $45 per cut 99% of my clients.

35 week

Lowest I do is a $40 lawn just mow no bag or trim

You know what you are talking about $30 to 35 front and backyard $45

Id really like to know what people are charging minimum in maine for mow trim and blowing if anyone has an idea let me know i was leaning toward $50 min when i start up but i want to be competitive without over bidding or setting prices to low

$50 minimum unless it is very small and already on my route...

I’m in Conyers Ga and my minimum is $50

How much would you charge for a 15,000 sqft

How do you like that bagger system on the walker? Have you used others, if so, whats your opinion on them also?

$38.50 to cut that yard weekly. How much did you charge for the big yard, just curious??

Bad move: If it takes you 6 minutes for a property, your going to put yourself out of jobs. A home owner will think i can do this in 20 min, (3 times longer), and save the money. You'll start putting yourself outtah jobs real quick. Plus if the home owner is watching looks like you are rushing and don't care about detail. Your walking a fine line of loosing accounts. But of you wanna go that route go ahead. I have 144 accounts in 1 community. I take my time and when done take less then a minute and stand there looking at the property giving the impression i care a lot. This is the difference of rushing jobs and saying ok done gimme my money lady or being more professional. My customers know me well and there's trust. i have the same customers forever. If someone offers a cheaper rice by $5 your outtah of a job. If you don't care neither will the owner who hired you.

Guys I got a call for few accounts today I’m new in business but I have a lot of experience She’s asking for year round work and idk how quotes that Please any help would be appreciated

Keith’s lawn care my lowest is $35

I figure it out like this as I'm a solo crew. $2.25 per minute is how I charge. People that appreciate hard workers that get it done and have no qualms about paying. I do on others offer 10% for veteran/elderly and disabled clients.

Rhett

I charge $40 over the first acre 30 for each addition acre, that's weekly, and $10 for bi-weekly, cut that's cut edged weed eating and blown off. You got an acre and a half that's $55 bi-weekly $65, I'm retired just don't want to be a couch potato, everything I have I own home vehicle everything all paid for.

Dude no need to look at the cam while driving

Don't eat and talk.
