    Lawn care what do you pay?

    I have been doing lawn care for a few years now on the side but this season it seems very hard to get jobs with normal pricing, everyone is seeming to want a huge discount. I typically charge around $100 for a acre lot and people this season are wanting to pay $50 $60.... Just curious to those of you who pay for lawn care are paying these days.

        We just received an annual quote for lawn care--52 weeks of mowing, edging, occasional pruning and maintenance of shrubs and ornament trees--$15,000.

        Are you effin kidding me???

          If it’s just a wide open lot, $100/acre is probably about right in my opinion. If it’s an acre with lots of trimming, edging, etc. I’d expect you’d be making more than $100.

                    Will that cover fuel to fill up the truck and the tractor?

                          Cut my own but I believe my neighbor pays between $60-$70 for around 1.5 acres with trim and blow. But that crew is in and out quick. Z-turn in the back stander up front 2 guys trimming.

                            We pay $120 per cut. 2.75 acres and he weedeats all the way around the perimeter fence, weeds the flower beds, and blows off. I think this is a pretty good deal.

                              Some of y'all are getting a great value!
                              I own a maintenance company in Lubbock, and I'm mid-tier in pricing. My minimum is $35 for 2k square feet for mowing edging weedeating, and blowing. does not include any flowerbed mtnc or hedges or chemical/weed control. 1 acre lawns for $100 with average weed eating, and 2+ acres are just under $100. Landscape maintenance $75 per labor hour, irrigation work $75-125 per hour(yes I have a Irrigators license #20598).
