  going rate for grass cutting

in our region mowing every two (especially in spring or rainy summers)weeks costs us money. in order to do a nice job we have to mow over the same surface several times.if the grass is too high like this year we have seen in one week up to 5 inch growth you should not cut more than an inch at each passage so you mow the second and third passage for free. the spindle wear and tear, the gas , the extra time mowing and cleaning up cost money. who is going to pay that?

yes, during the summer recess here (july and august) we mow our lawns as needed.

tomg, your points are very good. about the only way to compare is if you are within the same region with pretty much the same conditions, otherwise that does not work.

accounting for what it costs to do business is a much better way to go. but it takes a few years to get a handle on that raw data. during the start up phase it can cost quite a bit more to operate. some are very frugal, handy with mechanical repairs and live at home with their parents .... just too many variable... so the cost could be less.
i am no longer dropping a gate of my trailers under $29.00.
and have fully in mind to raise it to $35.00 next year
