What factors affect lawn mowing pricing?

Key factors include: job size and complexity, local cost of living, your experience level, competition in your area, seasonal demand, and the quality of equipment and supplies you use.

How do I price lawn mowing competitively?

Research local market rates, calculate your true costs (labor, supplies, overhead), add a profit margin (typically 25-40%), and adjust based on demand. Our calculator helps you factor in all these elements.

Should I charge by the hour or by the job for lawn mowing?

Most successful lawn mowing businesses charge by the job, not by the hour. This protects you if a job takes longer than expected and gives customers price certainty. Our calculator provides job-based pricing recommendations.

Communicate value, not just price. Highlight your experience, insurance, guarantees, and quality. Raise prices gradually (10-15% annually), notify existing customers in advance, and always deliver excellent service to justify premium rates.
