Great knowledge! I agree! We also charge by total lot size but our reason is it’s basically the same. Times 70-90 different homes. Averaged out the time for lot size ranges. And that accounts for the variables. Most homes in the area average to this so we can standardize. And I tell them say a .25 is basically similar most homes have similar sizes etc. Great info overall
Those who say your wrong i have to say is like you said what works for you doesnt always work for another. Not every company can work off the same ways. but most can. Pricing your getting there doesnt mean you will always get it over here. Like always great content. Waiting for growcom to open
Bottom line. In 2024, you can not run a viable, reliable small company in any industry for leass than $125 a man hour. If your materials + labor - taxes and overhead do not amount to $125 an hour, you and your business will be wore out. Unless you are the labor, which will wear you out.
That was a lot of talking, and absolutely nothing informative. Starting and operating a lawn care company is probably the easiest start up to man kind. I mowed my first paid lawn at 12 years old for gods sake. We cut freaking grass. It’s not that complicated
For sure. Everything is easy to start. Just like everything is hard to scale, remain profitable, build teams, office staff and continue to invest in growth.
@@JacobGodar I’m not sure if bigger really gets that much more profitable . If you keep it down to two trucks and trailers. Have the ability to keep everything at your personal property. Avoid workers comp, expensive insurance. Rent etc. keep your overhead to a minimum. And still generate a net profit of over 200k annually. That’s kind of the right formula. And run like a tree removal/ forestry mulching/ earth mowing set up on the side . You can pretty easily make 300k. And all this with only 4 employees. And great customer service. Keep it simple stupid is the rule I live by. We usually have almost every account on every street we service. And I have never advertised. And the customers love to give us cookies and cold ice tea. Customers love the personal service, and the same guys at there house every time. And be on a first name basis with everyone.
That’s awesome, how much are you grossing and how much goes to your labor? You guys must be cranking out a lot of lawns quick if you’re netting 200k after expenses. I’m very curious, is that just mowing? What’s the average time per lawn vs price?
Lets say if you get a Costco store how much would you charge

Anyone know where I can find these terms and conditions for the estimate?

This depends on were your living and how determined you are if your doin it for a side gig it’s not going to be necessary to push all that
Thankyou sir this makes sense
Is this a troll? Who tf is paying $125/hr for cutting grass?

That’s awesome. If that is your goal that’s great!
