Is 10-15 dollars to low to charge for mowing suburban lawns?

Question

How much should i charge when living in Oregon to mow an average home? Should I do front lawn and back lawn or just front?

Answer 1

Using their equipment?  $15 is about right.  With your own tools & gas, $20-25 is reasonable.  Do good work, maybe it worth the $$!

Answer 2

They get $40.00 with their equipment to do 50' X 150' yards here in N.Carolina.

I got $10.00 back in the '60s

Answer 3

A few days ago I was told that $20 was too high to mow someone's yard using their own equipment, but I still think your fee is low.  

But that depends on how large the yard is.  Whose equipment are you using?  Are you using a push mower, a reel mower or a small power mower made in China?  How long will it take you to mow the lawn?

Answer 4

$25 for an average lawn is going rate around here. Mow, weedeat, edge.

Answer 5

Too low!!!! With the cost of gas you should charge at least $25. More depending on lawn size.
