How much should I charge to mow a lawn?
Price from your cost per visit, not a guess: time on site plus drive time, times your crew's burdened cost and equipment cost, plus overhead, divided by (1 − your margin). Many residential lawns land around $35 to $100 per visit.
Should drive time be included in lawn mowing prices?
Yes. Drive time is paid time and fuel. Tight routes lower your cost per stop, which is why many lawn companies charge more for customers outside their main area.
What profit margin should a lawn care business aim for?
Many lawn care companies target roughly 15 to 30% net margin on mowing, with higher margins on add-on services like aeration, cleanups and mulch.
How do I convert a per-visit price to monthly billing?
Multiply the per-visit price by the average visits per month. Weekly service averages about 4.33 visits per month across the year.
