Just the number. And tell me if you're solo or running a crew. Mine: about 100 a week. 200 lawns, every 2 weeks. Family crew: me, Donna and our daughter. All part-time, one person to a van. Drop yours below 👇

Has anyone else had this happen? 🌱 I quoted a job yesterday and realised it was a property I used to mow back in early 2024, just under different people. This is now at least the third time this has happened with different properties around town! It’s quite handy when you turn up to quote a new job and already know the property, the lawn, and what’s involved from having mowed it in the past. 😂 Has anyone else had this happen in their area? It’s a small world sometimes!

@Matthew Dixon I asked what you charged for your last one-off mow. Matthew answered with a number and a photo: $80, done the same day. That's the right way to price an overgrown one-off. Charge for the mess, not just the mow. 💪 What's the worst lawn you've quoted this year? Drop the price below 👇

Just the number. No need to explain it. Mine: $60. That's my minimum for a one-off. Drop yours below 👇

Saw this in the group this week. Most guys answer it by checking what the other guy charges. That's backwards. Start with your own numbers. Say you want $2,000 a week. Half of that goes on running costs. Fuel, maintenance, tax, and gear. So you take home $1,000. $2,000 over a 40-hour week is $50 an hour. But you won't mow 40 hours. There's driving, quoting, fuelling up, changing blades, and fixing stuff. You'll be lucky to get 6.5 hours of actual mowing in a day. So you need $60 an hour just to hit the number. That's why I would recommend that you quote at least $1 a minute. 🕐 Guess the time, then multiply. 30 minutes lawn = $30. Then add hills, trees, catching, and mess. ⏱️ Time the first mow. If it keeps taking longer than you quoted, put the price up. 🚫 Have a minimum. Mine is $35 for a regular mow and $60 for a one-off. If they say no, you've saved yourself the drive. 🗣️ Say it like you mean it. Give the price, then stop talking. Most people are fine with your price if you are. You're running a business, not a charity. What do you charge per minute? Have you worked it out, or are you going off the guy down the road?
