== == Depends on your area.

$20+ for lawns 5,000 sq feet. $30-35 for lawns 5,000 - 10,000 square feet This includes edging, weedeating, and grass blowing Same price whether adults or not-- you're paying for the work, not by the age of the worker.

In our neighborhood, the rate is $50 cut, weedeat, edge and blow for a .5 (half) acre yard.This cost has dropped recently to $40 due to the poor economy and more competition. The $40 cutters do not have insurance, though.

The profit of mowing lawns is the difference between your expenses and your income. You will probably have many "fixed" costs (machinery, transportation, insurance, license), which are the same regardless of how many customers you have, and "operating costs" (fuel, dump fees, maintenance, helpers wages, parking tickets), which vary according to how many customers (and how much work) you have. The goal is to cover your fixed costs over a projected period (say, 5 years or less) and set your hourly or per-customer price based upon a realistic assessment of your competition and your own skills and energy. In no case should you set your price so low that you can't cover your operating costs and a pro rated portion of the fixed costs, otherwise you'll be losing money forever. As for what you might charge a given customer, one opinion is that: "IT IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT THE PERSON SAYS... YOU WOULD HAVE TO NEGOTIATE AND YOU MIGHT BE MOWING MORE THAN 1 PERSONS LAWN AT A TIME. EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT.... JUST NEGOTIATE TO THE HIGHEST PRICE!!" However, this ignores the fact that the market will determine the going rate for similar services in your area. If your customers are unwilling to pay your rates, and the rates are reasonable, then don't take the job. Alternatively, if you don't have enough customers, you could choose a different market or else lower your rates (or offer additional services) to a point where your services are again competitive.

Phoning up a lawn care company as if you are pricing the service at several companies in order to hire one would give you local timely information. Bear in mind they use their own equipment and pay insurance for harm they cause or things that happen to them - something you might want to consider. If any of your clients ask for a receipt, such as rental companies which need them for their taxes, you might wind up paying income tax on all you earn or what the government calculates you might have earned,

It all depends on where you are at. Here in Michigan, professional lawn companies are getting 45 an acre. But it also depends on how much trimming there would be and how open the lawn is.
