14 Year Old Cutting Grass?

Question

Hello I am a 14 year old I want to cut grass, I live in windsor ontario in canada. First of all should I use my own lawn mower, if I do how much should I charge? The Front yards arn't that big maybe 7x7metres?

and backyards maybe about 12x5metres. What if I use the customors lawn mower how much should I charge. PS it prob takes me 15 mins to cut the front and another 15 mins for back?

Answer 1

how much gas you use= A

time it takes= B

cost to maintane ,repair or replace equiptment= C

take the expected cost of gass A+B the amount of money you expect to make per 1/2 hour

C is harded you have to keep some money around for possible equiptment failure and the regular maintainence like trimmer line and blade sharpining or replacement HINT: the more lawns you have the less each one has to pay !!( if its your parants stuff you should talk it over with them to help figure the weakly value of their equiptment)

then add A+B+C and you got it!

i use $2in gas on a lawn ( A=$2)

i make $5 every 1/2 hr    ( B=$5)

weekly estimated cost    (C=$6)

A+B+C=$13

so $13 per lawn in my situation not knowing all the details

Answer 2

well if you use your own lawn mower than you will get paid more. and if it only takes you 30 minutes to do the whole lawn, then you could probably get $10 for the whole thing

Answer 3

calculate your cost for gas and parts and maintenance and then add on a fair wage. With the cost of gas going up this is crucial and consider the lowest fair wage $10 an hour anything less is indecent and rude.
