How to price lawn care
Profitable pricing comes down to a minimum stop charge ($30–$50) to cover drive time and overhead, a per-1,000-sq-ft rate for the service, and a difficulty factor for the property.
Typical per-1,000-sq-ft rates run about $3–$6.50 for mowing and $6–$11 for fertilization. Then adjust for slope, overgrowth, pets, narrow gates, and bagging — all of which add time.
The fastest way to lose money is to anchor on the cheapest operator down the street. Price toward the local median and win on reliability, professional quotes, and online payments.
