Starting today i'm going to mow people's lawns. Should I use their machine or my machine?

Question

And how much should I charge them? I'm 11 years old but i'm really fast and good at mowing lawns. I don't want to charge per hour, i wanna charge per front yard and back yard. ( My neighbors lawns aren't really big, they are average size)

BTW i push the lawn mower, i don't sit on my ***.

please help ASAP! the sooner you answer, the sooner you'll get 10 points from me.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You should use your own machine and as far as how much to charge you should charge by the job not by the hour.  We used to mow lawns for a living and there is good money in it if you don't try to get rich on one persons lawn.  You can use everything as a tax write if  you keep track of gas, repairs and how much you make.   Hope that helps you out, good luck.

Answer 2

You would need to use your own machine. You wouldn't want to be held liable if anything happened using their machine. You would be more likely to get jobs using your own.

Ask them to make you a offer regarding the price.
