How lawn care companies usually price
Lawn care companies price mowing per visit by lawn size, sell seasonal programs for fertilizer and weed control, and quote cleanups per job.
Our guide on pricing lawn care work walks through it step by step, from your labor rate to the price on the estimate.
Where the ranges come from
9 of the 11 services carry a range. Each one comes from a koira.ai calculator that lists the cost guides behind it and the date they were checked: lawn care cost calculator. They are national figures; the calculators scale the labor share to your state's wages when you enter a ZIP.
Lines marked "Set your own" have no range we could source well enough to publish. Price them from your own hours and parts.
What it takes to deliver this menu
The starter kit behind these services: commercial walk-behind mower; string trimmer; backpack blower; stick edger; open trailer with ramp; gas cans and fuel; hearing and eye protection; rakes and tarps. The full tools list adds the pro kit and van stock, with maker prices where we could check them.
