Hi Everyone! Come along with us as we set out to complete 9 lawns by the end of the day! We show you the properties, tell you about them and even how much the clients pay for lawn service. We encounter challenges like mechanical issues, losing a client and on one property we're confronted by the homeowner about heat exhaustion stating that, "It's NOT WORTH IT!"
This video documents the before, during and after transformation of the properties. Hope you all enjoy!

You need to increase your rate based on the mowing request of the customer and the wear & tear on your equipment due to the thick grass. 👍🇺🇸
I agree people are always wanting to pay less.
I agree, That is cheap! I'd bet No one else would do it for that.
Guarantee they are paid well when they get their checks from RUclips…
I agree
I agree. There are sections of my yard that I like to cut myself (with my "throw away" mower). When my neighbor has helped me get my mess straightened out, I always warn him about the danger spots where huge rocks seem to mysteriously show up out of nowhere and hide in the grass.
I used to help all my neighbors. Removing snow from their walks and driveways, mowing their lawns when they had problems. Never took a dime. Now that they have money, and I became disabled, what do I get from them. Calls to the township, because my lawn is to high, my antique truck, in my driveway. A guy I helped about 40 years ago, get his lawn business started, and never took a dime from him, heard about my plight. He showed up one day, mowed, weed wacked and blew everything clean. He comes every week, and won’t take a dime.
@@Etron491 favorite deserves another. Not expecting it but it's nice when it happens. Thanks for being so kind. Many blessings for you and your family.
I live in U.K., and became disabled, the man I used to have let me down, it is hard to find someone reliable to cut my lawn. I would do it myself if I could.
Here in VA our neighbor, pays $400 a month to have someone mow her yard! I personally work at our public utilities department for our municipality. Grounds keeping is everyone's job. With that being said I offered her a deal, help with gas. It's roughly 15 bucks for a 5 gallon can as opposed to $400 a month. I just don't like to see people being taken advantage of. Keep in mind we mow once a week. I personally own a Toro Z master because I have a big 3 acres lot. One full tank I can mow my yard twice. She's definitely considering that. I don't mind helping people out. I definitely enjoy watching your channel. It's comforting to know there are good people still left in this world. You guys are charging a very reasonable rate. You all do a wonderful job!
Lol, my dorky butt changed the speed to 2 times faster and it made it funny for me it was hilarious to watch you zip around!
They are blessed at the price for sure. Hate when the mower belts break on the deck.
If you just replaced the mower belt and the new one snaps in short order, that usually means you have a bad spindle.
If it was one of my first customers, and they are still with me after a long time, I would keep it the same.
Here just outside Charleston SC it seems a regular mowing front and back is $20 to $40 none the size of these lawns !
I needed more work done he charged $40 hr and I was pleased with the work !
Now I’m fortunate my son comes every 2weeks and cuts and edges my yard he also trims bushes when needed , he works away a lot and has his own yard to do. So I am very grateful we laugh because years ago he did lawn mowing for $7 ….he is 50 now !
I’m saying 20 to 40 by school boys ! I am sure it’s much more for companies !
I can still see my boy walking off with his lawnmower and gas can ! He just did basic grass cutting for $7 he got lots of jobs and area we lived had fairly small yards !
Bro. Harbor freight tool stores sales electric grinder and thick and thin grinding wheels to. If the blade isn't extremely in bad shape.,or Bent up and it's just dull instead. I suggest going to harbor freight to get A grinder and both kinds of grinding wheels for it to. And you can sharpen your own deck blade's. And you'll save some money by doing that to. A gasoline fuel saver trick and tip is to DIY Ethanol free gasoline highest grade fuel. In A kerosene container with bottom tap valve added into it. With Teflon tape. Just drill A hole for it to twist into the plastic bottle. To drain out the water and ethanol from the fuel. By adding in A half of cup of water and shaking the container really good and slowly releasing the pressure to tighten it back down. To let set for 24 hours to open the tap to drain out the water and ethanol from out of the fuel. Here's the kicker to it all get some octane booster to add back into the fuel.,an some marvel mystery oil to.
With the rising costs of gas for equipment, fuel to get to client and any costs to recycle yard waste yes, you should increase your price on property #1.
You give a good price I wouldn't unload my mower for less then 50.
How is the Cub Cadet better than the Bad Boy? I'm looking at upgrading to a zero turn, just looking for advice. I'm on 9/10's of an acre, all fescue in NC. Thanks, love your content.
Your prices are more than reasonable!
You need to increase your prices a little It’s admirable that you keep the price the same for your long time clients but you need to increase the price for your newer clients
Come to Washington and mow my lawn for $50 😂... we pay $250 a month ( 2 cuts a month) for a 1/4 th of the lawn!
I think you need to raise your prices. I paid $35. for a yard a quarter of the size and that was over 15 years ago.😊
Nice job 👍 ❤
I am in NYS… no way would someone do this all in my yard for 40 bucks! You need to raise your prices honestly….
If you just changed the bekt and it broke, its defective. They should replace it free of charge.
40 is a little High for that little Island of a yard ?
Use the green belts
When gas went up in price I automatically gave my yard guy more money. He didn't ask for it, but I welcome the help with my yard and to me it's worth every penny, plus working in the extreme heat here in Texas, I feel my yard guy should be compensated. It's not easy in triple degree temps.
$40 doesn't even pay for your time. Not to mention fuel and wear and tear on equipment. You all are too kind. God will surely bless you. Thank you for helping others as God intended.
I've been watching you guys for about a month. And all you have done is awsome work!. Just amazing! May god keep you healthy and strong. Keep up the great work! Love watching you. Peace and love to you both.❤
Mom was probably getting overheated and blood sugar dropped from not eating. She's awesome. I'm from Sarasota, Florida heat can get to you. It's great to watch you work together ❤❤
Hope you are feeling better eat really chicky
With the grass prices the way they have been, I think it's up to you but $40 is pretty cheap for being in that hot heat.
I say at least 50.$
some people just dont have the money to get their lawns done on a bi weekly basis, so being your price is reasonable, you will keep the customers you now have and probably get more.
@@kennylavay8492 He could charge more and still do that, and he'd actually make some money that way. That overgrown lawn he does for no extra charge, I'd charge around $100 for that and here that would be considered reasonable. Then again, we're working in 105-110 degree temps all summer so we probably get to charge a little more because of that. Let's just say if I was charging the same rates he is, I'd be struggling to make ends meet. Just doing the math, if he charged $60 for all 9 of the lawns he planned to do that day, that's only $540 gross revenue! If his expenses were only $100/day that leaves $220 per person for an 8-10hr day, and that has to pay for new equipment, vehicles, and trailers when the time comes. I'm by no means trying to toot my own horn here because I just happen to live in an awesome city for a lawn biz, but I pay my foreman $242 for a 10hr day. I have 3 workers who do all the work while I run the business. Average gross is around $1500/day, net profit average this year so far is $586/day. We retain almost all customers until they move somewhere, and I turn down more business than I take because we stick to a tight service area and still get more business than we can handle. What I've found matters more than anything is your reputation. A lot of people are willing to pay a premium just to know they can trust you, you're reliable, and you'll cover anything you damage. In this industry you aren't selling the work, you're selling yourself. I will say that he's probably not doing what he does for the money and if that's OK with him, I think that's extremely generous and selfless. I just hope he's making enough one way or another to live comfortably because he certainly deserves that much.
You can have them all doing it for nothing, that’s to dang cheap, gas $4 a gallon and weed eater fuel and oil, you’re going to ware out your equipment for nothing
25 each front and back plus 10 weedeating, $60 bucks period
$40 is unheard of for the size of those yards with everything you are doing here in Ohio. You need to charge an overgrowth fee for customers who take advantage of not getting regular yard service letting their yards get higher than normal. I absolutely agree with you on the fee for the veteran. With the cost of gas and wear and tear you really need to increase your prices with every thing you do for them. Even if it's $10-$15. They shouldn't have any problem knowing the rise in cost of living if they have any integrity at all.
It was so nice of the client to tell you to take care of your mom! You did a great joB you two!
OK, mom needs to eat something in the morning, before going outdoors to work in the heat. Drink plenty of water or Gatorade!
I hope the 1st home owner is Considerate & TIPS WELL!! & ALL Of your customers.
Also, I continue to enjoy watching mom and son work together. It's heart warming, and it's a great example of families working together. You guys are making it happen together, and you're taking the time to help those in need or make a neighborhood safer by taking care of these hazards. Love it. And I'll continue to try to support y'all with likes and comments. I'm already subscribed and watch often. ❤
I think your cutomers are definitely getting there money's worth. It looks like you two do a very professional job .⛳️❤
I love that your Mom work's with you!❤
$50 is a really great price ,I paid that 20 years ago. And was happy to do it. You guys do a great job for very reasonable prices ❤
For a yard that size what a deal.$40 and it looks great.I am glad the customer was good to you.Our world needs more kind people like you all.Bless you and yours
I really like how dramatic it seems to be while your mowing with your mom, it seems like you get very close to each other, scares me evertime but I know its just because you have your setting on fast mode.Makes it exciting 😅❤
Your fees are extremely reasonable for kind of excellent work you 2 do!! God bless!
I pay $30 for front and back mowing, edging, weedeating and blowing. He mows weekly in the Spring and bi-weekly in the summer when the rain stops. I've tried to pay him more but he insists that since he's been doing my yard for 12 years that my price will never go up. I've also sent 7 new customers his way over that time. And I mail him a $125 check every Christmas as a bonus thank you.
@LoriL010 - You're awesome.
Need more customers like you!!
That kind .from uk
Wow! Client is happy😮.
Fifty dollars seems to be the minimal in my area. I changed lawn services and it is sixty dollars now. My yard is cut bi weekly.
IMO….you are an HONEST man doing a FANTASTIC job for your clients and improving the world one lawn at a time….BRAVO young man…everyone would benefit if there were more HONEST people like you. THANKS 💥👍🍀🙏😇🤩🤞👏
Aww!😊 The homeowner pulled the "papa bear" card, because he was worried about your mom! Despite the gruffness in his voice, his heart was in the right place!❤
His heart is in the right place. Very sweet guy! 😊
Good on him. LOL. She needed to eat, what if Casey hadn't eaten, she would have been all upset. 😢😢😢
@@papatomsthoughts 12:19
It doesn’t matter what we think about the prices you charge for the client if you’re happy with what you charge, then it doesn’t matter what we think as long as you’re happy with it. PS, you have to drink lots of fluids to when it’s hot.
I totally agree with Chuck. It’s nobodies business, this is between you and your client. If you’re happy with it and so is your client that’s all that matters. It really shouldn’t be a matter for discussion on line, I don’t think.
I think you are selling yourself short. You won't make enough for all the gas you use on the truck and trailer, the mower and all the other tools that you use. Now you need to buy a belt. It won't be cheap. I'm sure you'll get a lot of business but again, don't sell yourself short. Do some bookkeeping.
What I do to stay hydrated is every third bottle water or so put a pinch of salt in your fluids this helps in preventing dehydration. I also wear moisture wicking clothing as it helps keep your body cooler another thing if you stop sweating you need to stop immediately as your body is close to being dehydrated.
Nice work .
if you think that is overgrown high grass you're a wimp. Thats less then one week growth here in Jacksonville. If your mower is any good thats cutting butter.
Great job on the mowing , thank you for taking care of the veteran
Amen!!
I think your base prices are fine if they work for you. I would include a surcharge for overgrown locations as you are cutting the same piece of ground 2 or 3 times to get it into shape. Enjoyed the content!
That yard right here with that retired EMT and retired police officer should be $125 biweekly make it $95 with a annual contract signed
@joeroyward6457 not a police officer, fireman.
Lawn mowing for a job is a bloody hard job, you guys deserve respect from all the community.
$40.00 is a heck of a bargain for the homeowner. Should be twice that, or more.
$40.00 is an heck of the best and the way you are going through the best way to go to the next level and 5 you are going to be in the same boat as the way I am not going 5 and I am very sorry for not being there for the last time and I hope you had a good time and your own time to do this you will be in a great mood when I have
$2.00 per min
Per man
That's a big yard for 40 bucks ! Thanks for not being greedy !
Absolutely! My property is smaller, I pay $45, and my guys shows up once a month 🤦🏻♀️
If they choose to extend time between mowings they need to pay extra. It makes more wear and tear on your equipment.
Wear and tear on equipment plus twice as much fuel and labor
If you extend the time to ever other week instead of weekly, how can that put more wear and tear on your equipment and more gas They are doing it because the grass is not growing as fast Two where it needs cut every week Which saves, wear and tear on your equipment and gas.
@@robertdahle7216 my mower revs up to a higher rpm when it goes through thick tall grass. When it's shorter it stays at a steady low rpm.
@@robertdahle7216 plus the more it bogs down, it's harder on the bearings and the belt
@@mcard48ableI think he was referring to how the growth is stunted in some areas because of the heat in that state. Cutting every week would burn out the lawn.
Speedy mowing…I feel I need a seatbelt for my rocker! Love you two…lots of humor and always a beautiful outcome..😊
Excellent lawn care on each property. C & J always does a great job on mowing , weeding and edging. You’re a wonderful team. Looking forward to more videos. Take care.
You both do such a good job and I am proud of you for your work. Your attitude towards your clients speaks volumes of how caring you are, but I think that a person who owns such a beautiful home like this in this town among other nice homes should pay more for your great service, (I would) You need to increase your rates to cover your cost and unforeseen break downs as well. Should you lose this customer, I pray that the Lord will provide you with more clients who would be fair and appreciate you both. Keep smiling, work hard and enjoy doing it together as a fun team. p.s as the saying goes.$40. is Chicken Feed. or a drop in the bucket.
It is so awesome to see y'all out here helping the community. Ocala does have a heart y'all
As one who had a mowing service 20 years ago, I think your prices are really reasonable considering you have a good rider mower and most of the homes were pretty clean without too many obstacles. If you didn't have to quit early because of the heat it would've been a decent day for ya. I do agree with that homeowner though. Take care of her and don't push it too much. I've come close to heat exhaustion a few times. Not fun.
As long as they are respectful, have the work done regularly and it's not causing you financial hardship keep it up.
You remind me of myself 25 years ago when I detailed vehicles. Wash vacuum and armor all,clean windows for $15 and should have been $25. And I did it for this price because it gave me a reason to get out the house and I did it in a reasonable time. Alot of people took advantage of my kindness and a few paid me more. I quit doing it due to a customer cussing me out because I didn't get the water spots off the window. I told him I did that free because I wanted to see if the new product would work and I told him before I started. I told him you don't pay me enough and this isn't my full-time job. I did it because I enjoyed it and you took the fun out of it. Please tell everyone in the condo complex, I quit because of you. So please make sure you are making enough. I'm pretty sure you have support from the channel but don't go broke. The first yard you showed $40 was a good size lawn and my opinion you should charge more.My full-time job was a chemical lawn care specialist and did it for 25 years and loved it until my first of 2 heart attacks,13 strokes and 4 ablations in a 10 year period. That being said,thank you for letting me relive my past through your hard work.
Every time Trish smiles, her youthful spirit is revealed.
You guys do a great job and the prices are amazing for all you do ❤
I live in California and our gardener mows weekly. We pay him monthly and we give him $85. We he started a couple of years ago, he took over our job because the other guy moved. At that time we paid him $70/mo. He’s never asked for an increase, but we keep bumping it up. So, I would charge more. The size of the yards your mowing are huge!
We pay $100 every week for 3/4 acre. Mow, edge, and blow. Also, when needed, spray for weeds in flower beds. In our area, that would be $90-125 easy for that size lot. Charge what you are comfortable with, but as cost have gone up, so should you. Also look at the difficulty of a yard.
Here in Australia we would have to pay twice the amount you charge. I consider your prices as a bargain. Great work again. Ever thought about migrating to here 😊
The grass & weed growth in Australia is so much extra work
@@desireejames1538 I hear you on that one. Part of the trouble is that most people don't know which 'weeds' are edible. For instance Dandelions are very nutritional. The leaves you can use in a salad or stew and the root is like a small radish. Goats are great to keep the weeds and grass low, could you imagine how many goats we would need lol. Ages ago a farmer up north drove his cattle down to market and along the way the cattle ate all the tall grass on the side of the road. Fattening the cattle for free.
It's so nice of you all to your prices affordable for folks on a set income ( social security, retirement, etc. ) Your yards always look fantastic. I'm sure your clients consider you as a blessing.. I know I would.
You should definitely charge a overgrowth fee especially if its not due to scheduling conflict or you having to postpone due to weather ect.
tank of gas cost 20 bucks
@@jameslangston7642where? I pay $50 for a full tank. Please share the info. I just got gas. Had quarter of a quarter of a tank left $50 to fill up. Sure would lo've to save $30.
Trish looks totally exhausted on the third property. You have to watch out for her since she has already had cancer
Forty for the first property is cheap. Your prices are very reasonable and some on the low side. In the past 4 years my lawn maintenance has gone from $50 to $65 biweekly. Good for the man that increased his payment on his own. I know that client will be missed. Eat before starting your day and stay hydrated! Heatstroke can be deadly.
I picked up a client that had a large back yard in a really nice neighborhood. The front yard was a decent size and on a hill. His previous company dropped him when they went to commercial only, and his rate had been stuck at $40 for years. I was having to double cut his yard, so I took him up to a modest $52.00 per week. He dropped me after two weeks, and said even though he loved the quality of the service he was going to have a family friend take over for less money. LOL, I said no problem, and good luck. :)
It's amazing how someone can go and look at the grass to give an estimate and then find out that the homeowner is fertilizing and watering like crazy making the grass grow quicker and harder to cut. Insult to injury would be adding 1001 tables and lawn chairs
@@billvandorn5332 I have considered dropping customers for doing this
Great content, I subscribed and liked immediately. You seem like really good people, I wish you great success. You deserve it!
If you are able to support your family and business. Then you are blessing others with your prices. The yards yall are doing that are kinda easy. 40 or 50 is fine. Do not take on more yards than you can do and still stay healthy. God will bless you for all the kindness you show others.
Had the same thing happened to me today, the belts don’t hold up like they used to, kind of like everything else
Enjoyed traveling with you today. Your prices are too low; but that's easy for me to say; you know best. One thing is not disputable; you do great work! Your camera work is top notch too. Pack a cooler of cold water. Txs for sharing.
You 2 are amazing. When my husband and I come to Florida on vacation. Would love to take you two to dinner. Our treat. Would be honored. ❤
Wow! 😊❤️🙏
Thank you for including what you are charging for lawns. Most of the others do the free charity lawn and yard cleanups which is nice but good to know what the average lot costs for a service.
I think it’s a great price, especially since one of your first loyal customers. It doesn’t always have to be about charging a lot of money. Thank you for being an honest, hard working company.
The cost of equipment maintenance does not compute in the homeowners mind.
I have been watching y’all a long time time and just realized y’all were in my home town, Ocala, FL.. Trish you are and inspiration to all mature ladies. Thank you. ❤
If the belt was just replaced it was more than likely squeezed in between a idler pulley and a drive pulley. Damage is done on the inside and not noticeable on the outside. Had it happen to three belts one summer on a finish mower before I figured it out. In my defense I was getting it through the small gap with just my hands by rotating the pulley. Also wasn’t thinking about the stress I was causing to the belt. 120 dollar lesson to not be lazy.
The price should be based on lot size, how much you have to move to do it, if they are on a regular schedule, and how much grief the client gives. If they ever not pay in a timely fashion they should be removed as a client or given a “unknown your a piece of crap $20 fee” for being trifling. Every customer isn’t a joy to work with, don’t feel bad about the $20 piece of crap fee. Remember they can always find someone else if they don’t like your price hike. My exhusband was a paint contractor and he added a “I knew you were going to be trouble fee”. He would add that to his quote and hope they got lower quotes they went with. If he did get stuck with them he had an incentive to take the job even though he knew they would be a Karen.
I agree these are very large lot sizes. A postage stam lot should be less but is not where i live we all pay same price.
😂❤👍
Ya. If that is your first client you should show them sum love and appreciation and keep them at that price.
Your charging cheap considering the yard is so huge😢
as long as you and your mom enjoy what you are doing and at the end of the day/overall show a profit who cares what anybody thinks about what you are charging.
I think all of your prices are reasonable. I love your work.
I live in PA and I pay $55 weekly. This summer we may have skipped twice during the drought but that is a discussion the guy mowing my lawn and I have during the week and we both agree on. I also send him a nice bonus at Christmas time. I'm very appreciative of the work he does on my lawn and he's been doing it for 18 years now.
Keep up your electrolytes (as well as water) in this hot weather. Heat stroke can be very dangerous so take care.
You will have to quote more if people don’t want (or cannot afford) to have their lawns cut more often, because you are going to have to do more than one pass and wear and tear on your equipment. I think most customers would understand that. If they are not happy they can always get quotes from elsewhere.
That young lady works hard! Is she your mom? I like the way she handles that weed eater!!!! 😂😂😂
Hi Caninite! Yes, she is my mom. :)
Eine liebe Mum und ein lieber Sohn, ihr seid ein gutes Team ❤
$40 No, It's to hot out there for being that cheap, and you broke your new belt. The belt alone cost about as much as this persons lawn mow.
In 2023, $70-$80 is my minimum…. And that’s not for overgrown 2 week properties. You can easily replace that client , you are good at what you do brother 💪💪💪
You know I'm gonna say a resounding HELL TO THE NO on 40 for that lawn, brother....unless you're discounting for charity because they can't afford it 😂
Or unless you're hurting for customers.
As long as he's happy with $40 what's it to you ?
Wow! You are not charging enough for the amount of work you do! I love how you explain what your charging...your work is amazing! I love how you had a conversation with yourself! That man with the flag does appericiate what you do.Take care Trish! Rest and dring plenty of fluids. Seems funny to have a septic in the front yard! The lawns all looked awesome because of your care!
Live in Southern California beach city. The lots are typically 6 to 10,000 square feet, with a 2000 sq foot house, garage. Cant use a ride on mower. Anyway, the typical price is $90 to $125 a week.
We were paying as much as $100 and needed a new service every year because nobody wanted to come back the next year. We live on the side of a hill and it’s a real challenge because only about half the yard can be done with a mower and the other half needs to be done with the trimmer. We are now on our 3rd season with a guy that only charges $45 and hope he never retires.
For the home with the septic in front yard. Maybe a nice flower bed would help out. Because of the extra water in that area the flower bed would grow great and would not need to be watered much if at all. Cutting around a nice flower bed should not be as hard as having to mow that area at three different heights to make outcome look right. Just a thought.
Thank you for noticing this and appreciate your advice although it's up to the homeowner. 😊
You do excellent work and I think your rates are very reasonable.
Not sure on America but the cost of inflation here in the UK has gone through the roof during covid and carried on rising till today. Fuel/gas/petrol currently stands a Litre in uk is £1.60 & $0.91 in the U.S. Vehicle insurance has trebled in last 6mths. Food has quadrupled in price.
I would take a guess being an ex-gardener & Greenkeeper that your prices are very reasonable in your todays climate. Your customers must be very happy customers with price and the quality of work is great too.
We live in Citrus Springs and pay $110 monthly for a weekly mow from April thru September, then every two weeks in Oct and Nov, and March, once a month in December thru February if needed. They weedeat, edge and blow also. We have a corner lot. Am I paying too much?
That is a real kindness to your first customer. Do price checks to see what others are charging for the rest.
To be honest the pricing is between you and your customers and none of my business. Take care in that heat and thanks for the video.
I owned a lawn care business for a number of years you asked about the pricing as long as they're not that type of customer that ask for something special every time or wants to go a month-and-a-half between cuts I used to stick with my customers and didn't mess with their pricing too much as long as it's in the same general area is other cut and you're not burning additional gas going to it I found the best investment on my equipment was blades blades blades I swapped my blades out at least every day sometimes in the middle of the day a lot of people think that is too much first it looks better and you're spending much less time going back doing multiple passes
I have a home in Orlando, FL. 1/10 of an acre. I pay $250 per month, have had the same company for 4 years, the service in very inconsistent. So $ 40.00 is defiantly not enough at all, Time expenses not enough at all.
Some of the lawns you do a really big you have to price accordingly you doing a great job.🇬🇧🙏🏼🇺🇸 it looks lovely and hot over there. It’s about 14° over here in the UK.
Make sure she eats! I am a woman who tends to not eat when it is hot and have had the same thing happen. When you are doing physical labour like this, protein, carbs and adequate hydration are essential even if you feel it is too hot. I think you should be charging additional if the customer is stretching it out on mowing. I do my own lawn but when I was getting it done, I paid $60 per mow every week. Now I have my own mower and do it myself but agree with those saying higher the grass, higher the price. Your equipment gets hit harder on those jobs and it also takes more fuel and time because the grass is long.
$40 is crazy. There’s no way you should be charging $40. It should be $100 at least.
If you mow once a week or every 8 or 9 days thats almost 400 a month! shiat wtf am i doing ? i need to go start mowing more lawns!
Brother every year you need to adjust retained clients a % and increase rates for new clients. You are worth getting paid. I know you would not expect someone to work for you for free. Your cost go up every year. If you do your own maintenance you need to charge your time. Taxes document any charity work you do too. Sorry I’m retired from playing the game.
You are so kind to offer such a cheap price for all your work. God bless you!
Good grief, $40 wouldn't cover petrol or your time. Don't allow people to abuse your generosity. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 73yrs
Your prices seem very reasonable to me, I’m sure they are fine with your customers or they wouldn’t keep having you come back over and over and over again, and you and your mom are very nice people very likable and easy to get along with… 🙏 God bless you and keep up the good work 😊
These lawns that aren't such a mess seem easy for you!. You both do a very nice job.

That size yard in Australia would be hundreds ,America’s money is about twice ours, seems cheap 😅
Insurance equipment costs an labor plus maintenance fuel oils belts blades? How big is lot
All depends on size of yards. Good thing about zero turn is it’s turning capability looks like most are half acres or less . Fuel today 324 in my area up thirty cents in past week
I just found your channel idk how your mama does it with the heat I sure couldn’t handle it but I’m in California we are extremely dry heat. Gas is also $4.90 a gallon rite now So $40.00 would be insane. I was quoted for just my backyard and it was over $500.00 and it was a bit bigger than the yard your doing here. I am a cosmetologist and I was self employed and always felt guilty raising my prices but if you think about it everyone raises their prices. You are with so much more than your charging.
#$49. no way like curtis hamilton9469 said that it would not cost for the wear an tear of your equipment an gas to drive there an the wear an tear on the truck there an back plus gas for the equipment to to run,i would raise it to at least $60. an spead it out with the reat of the people you cut grass for so at least that why you can make a little profit Or charge them $45. an raise everyone else by $5. as well
