I love how you show the best and worst possible profits you can make with all the fees and extras. Makes me more confident when starting my lawn care business
Mike, you made this business SOUND REALISTIC, not just a bunch of "Profit" as others might say... THANK YOU!!! You got a New faithful follower!
Best video I’ve seen explaining and walking through overhead recovery. It’s a must in any business!
Spoke nothing but truth. Absolutely the best Lawn business YT channel.
🙏🏼
ESTREMELY HELPFUL. I have felt like our cleanups this year have earned us next to nothing. I think the things you explained helped me a lot.
Landscaping is a luxury. I really appreciate the breakdown for the quote price. You can spend so much time putting a quote together and never hear back.
I got a couple $500+$800 clean ups coming up & easily making $1000 a day on maintenance. SHOW THE WAY BABY!!
I like the dollar a minute approach. Aka $60/Hr.
Thanks for the numbers. Glad to see I'm pretty close to you. I would love to find clients that will shell out a grand for a cleanup. In my area it's a lot more 250-400 jobs. Totally able to clear a grand a day though.
I’m running an average of 300 for quick leaf cleanup one person 2 hours this year I’m taking my focus to just leafs not anything else that way it has less of a chance of having something wrong
Really appreciate you breaking this down mike
I just upped my hourly rate for cleanups to $55/hour. I was scared to do it at first, but customers are more than happy to pay it when you have the right equipment!
I watch all of your videos, love them! But heyy watch out for once I make my lawn care business a Franchise as well 😎
Hey Mike that's all I need thanks for the help I really want sell these jobs, I have been getting more of these
Another hitter mike! Thanks for the video. Just got an alert that another video was posted, when I tried to watch it and said it was private.
Great video! Thank you 🙏
I needed this
Completely agree !
Hello there from Pennsylvania!
Great video as always Mike but holy cow I think you took like 3 breaths during the video! You were really on a roll! lol
🤣
All this knowledge
EVERYONE in business needs to understand some extremely important words: Costs of goods sold, direct costs, overhead costs, gross revenue, gross profit, net profit, overhead recovery, and most importantly OWNERS DISTRIBUTION.
Man I am so far behind. It's amazing how smart people can be successful no matter what industry they are in.
hey mike, you should check out victory outdoor services, hes doing a tour showcasing small business, i think youll be a great fit and expand the viewers a bit
You do realize that hes got franchisees all over the US now, right? He's way past small business
@@jlbf0786 each business is a small business technically plus he can promote franchises
I have been getting alot of crap lately for saying that my minimum is at least $65 an hour. I can sit at home and work on my computer for $55+ an hour and do nothing all dam day. If you are asking me to drive out and do the work you are not willing to do, I am charging you a bit more than what my normal job is.
Not an unreasonable request?
Do you find closing ratio to be less than mowing?
Usually slightly on average … depending on time of year
its true i made 1,500 in 10 hours on a leaf clean up jobs
Hey Mike, I'm curious why you're using 50 an hour as a metric here? In other videos you say 60 an hour is the minimum that should be charged. How are you paying the crew 20 an hour or more when that's more than 33 percent of labor revenue at 50/hr? I feel like 75 an hour is the new 60 with how many costs have gone up, including real estate in most metro markets.
Trying to use conservative numbers so people don’t use that as excuse to why they “can’t charge that in my area”
Q: Can I roll my costs of health insurance, truck payments, boat repairs, vet bills, etc.. into the DUMP FEE??
Are these estimate fees just for cleanup/landscaping stuff? Are you adding anything on to first time mowing, aeration, fertilization etc?
Anything one-time…. Projects, one time/initial mows etc
Not recurring work though
I've watched a bunch of your videos. I cannot find where you explain how to do a quote for leaf clean ups. When you walk onto the property and bid it. I have been charging an hourly rate because when I tried quoting a flat rate I under bid by hundreds. There were always more leaves than expected. Even on smaller properties.
Charge 4x the amount you would charge for that yard size if you were just mowing.
This entire video is an Accounting 101 video.
I have a question. In your video was a perfect example. There was a guy talking and not working. "Owner calls me, hey, I'm paying 50/hr and your guy ain't worked the entire hour?????? Thanks Mike!! I appreciate your feedback.
The client doesn’t know the rate… just the total price. They just want the job competed to satisfaction at the price quoted.
What kind of trimmer do you show in the video? I got a gas Badger from Menard's and it's absolutely awful...

Hey Mike. Love the content. I'm new to this industry. I'm struggling with how to determine my numbers. If I don't get this down I'm afraid I will have to sell my equipment and stop doing this. I just wrapped up my second season with mowing and still cannot pay myself. I've asked for help and all I get told is, "You have to figure your numbers for yourself." This does not tell me how to get my numbers such as my truck (it's my personal vehicle as well as work), equipment, insurance, vehicle/equipment maintenance, help, my payment, etc. Will you help me? Please let me know.
Did you figure things out? I hope so. Quick assistance for you but I can go in depth if you need me to.
As the owner/operator you and your company have fixed yearly/monthly expenses. I'm going to generalize/round some numbers. Lets assume that monthly your expenses are as follows:
business insurance $100
truck payment $500
Truck insurance $100
Repairs/maintenance on truck and equipment $300
Equipment fuel at $5/hour, 20 hours per week and 4 weeks per month for $400
Truck fuel for business at 300 mile/week times 4 weeks at 15 miles/gallon at $5/gallon is $400
Miscellaneous expenses of $200
Monthly business expenses estimated at $2,000 or $500/week or $100/day or $12.50/hour at 8 hours.
Now, not knowing your real numbers for how much you need to "live" or pay your normal household bills, I'm going to assume you need $60,000 per year before taxes in your pocket plus the $24,000/year business expenses noted above. Assuming you live in a northern state an mow 6 months (26 weeks) and do fall cleanups and spring cleanups for a month each, you're working 8 months.
Here is the quick breakdown $60,000+$24,000=$84,000 needed per year. 40 hours per week for 8 months is rounded to 1,300 billable hours for a single person.
$84,000 year/1,300 hours = $65/hour minimum necessary billable rate working 40 billable hours per week for 8 months. This must include drive time too. You would need $2,600 per week of income. If you charge $40 per lawn you would need 65 lawns/week or 13/day. Each lawn should take about 30 minutes to mow, trim, blow and drive to/from.
There may be a few weeks on either end of the calendar where you have extra time to make more money but that is "savings". Also, perhaps you can add snow removal in the winter months or work for another job a few months/year.
Calculations I've done in the past indicate that it is not monetarily prudent to hire someone until you have been working a steady 55ish hours per week. That worker doesn't necessarily cut your work time in 1/2 since they may be slower than you or at the very least, have no billable drive time. Therefore if you take the 65 lawns noted above and get up to 100 lawns at $40 average taking 30 minutes each you're working 50 hours minimum and probably closer to 55 hours. The extra 35 lawns at $40/lawn over the 65 gives you $1,400 more money per week. If you assume that your employee will work 40 hours at $15/hour plus workers comp and misc. insurances/expenses you can assume they are close to $25/hour all in for 40 hours so $1,000/week. $1,400 new business minus $1,000 new employee equals $400 in new profit per week. Work 32 weeks and that is $12,800/ year more. Is that worth the extra employee for you to work under 40 hours/week.
Mike,
When only 1/2 the trailer is used do you cut the dump fee down to 75ish? When it takes 3 dump loads are you building in 3 dumps $149x3 ($447)?
Thanks much
Yes. Correct. In that case we would charge half a trailer of debris ✅👍🏻
@@MikeAndes Hey Mike. Is a full trailer load roughly 2 yards for $149?
@@JJ-pv9rf only 2 yards for a full trailer?
He mentioned a 7x14 dump trailer, which is about 7.25 cubic yards assuming only 2' tall sides.
4' tall sides would relatively fit 14.5 cubic yards.
Stop wearing "vests". Makes you look short. 😁
And here i am still charging $30/hr 😂
@ha lol ha lol im doing quite well thanks. Appreciate your concern though thats dope.
@@Timothypayn I bet you are but he's kinda right though lol
@@JohntehGman its incredible how you all think my one man super power of a company is whats breaking your part of the industry all the way in...where ever youre from. Every other company around me is paying their FOREMAN $16/hr if the foreman is lucky. So what i am making is just perfect for me, it keeps me busy, it pays my bills, and grows my profitability. See the theme? Its me, im the theme. Honestly its a great theme, but if you think its me breaking your guys bank....its probably the truth. I am a NORDYKE take out the Young Kool Entertainer at the end and i am still a Nord. I go hard, ive always gone hard, i always will go hard, and ill raise my prices when i choose too, or lower them when i choose too. If i decide to kick the green tip i may even upgrade to gas powered equipment....but right now im killing it with $0 net loss, 100% customer retention, and a 5 star rating....so who is really doing it wrong? 🤔
@@Timothypayn I never said you are breaking my bank lol and props to you doing well. My point was referring to the part where he said know you're worth in essence. Sounds like you're doing a fantastic job and offer a personalized experience and probably attention to detail bigger companies probably won't provide. So charge for it lol, you seem very hostile when I am just trying to help bud
@@JohntehGman well i catch a lot of beef from a lot of angles for a long time on numerous topics. Being where i'm from youre always surrounded by doubt and an angle to get over on someone.
Truth is i love nature, plants, animals, the whole lot. So the experience with me is always unique. I avoid engine powered devices when possible. Id rather provide discounted all natural weed control over the un natural barrier thats always put in, no plastic edging ever, no chemicals, just natural remedies. I can eyeball grade, fix water issues, prevent landslides and erosion, balance a contained ecosystem, im not allergic to poison ivy, and i can tree climb like none other. But when absolutely neccesary i can run skidsteers, forklifts, bucket trucks, excavators, or even a dingo. But i can mostly do what a dingo can, just spread out but still cheaper and cleaner. I'm about this earth said and done. I'm sure you are too 🙂
