Lol

Gotta love yo Momma $$

That’s right G!

Simple way to figure out what to charge to mow. Just figure out how long you think it will take to mow, edge, blow. You want to be able to service the property in less time then you are charging. So if you are charging $35, you want to be done in about 10-20 minutes.

Half acre $50 full acre $100 of it's .60 of an acre that's $60. If it's under half that's where it comes in handy to have a minimum. If you have a .11 acre yard I charge minimum of $35 because I don't want to be to high or to low. Eventually I'm going to raise my minimum. Hope that helps. This is my first year to!

I've got to agree with what Fitz said. You're pricing has to come down to the time spent. You've got to track those man hours. You've got to have a dollar amount that you're shooting for for your services. We cut grass in the summer and plow snow in the winter. I have two dollar amounts that we target for grass and snow. The second is a lot higher. I also have a dollar amount for each service that takes into account the time we spend between jobs. Don't forget to also track time spent doing maintenance, cleaning equipment, etc. All of this information will become very powerful to you and you'll appreciate having started it sooner down the road. When I first started I didn't always get it right. It made for a couple of tough conversations. Now is a great time to have some of those tougher conversations with inflation happening across the board. Just remember that what you really are looking for is to get into situations where everyone is happy. If you are priced too low your customers are happy but you're not. Soon they won't be either when you go out of business because your business wasn't sustainable and they have to go find another more expensive servicer because they had an unrealistic previous experience. If you are priced too high you'll spend a lot of wasted time on estimates that don't result in new business. Nobody is happy in that scenario. If you are priced higher than the competition you've got to be able to justify it with something that sets you apart and adds value but that is also something they're willing to spend more on. Just remember what you're really giving customers is more than a nicely mowed lawn. You're giving them their time back to go spend as they'd like. They're buying like I said before, time. So in order for you to succeed focus on that time. Invest in professional equipment that will allow you to do a great job in an efficient manner. Having that equipment go out there and focus on obtaining jobs that will allow you to be efficient. Don't take jobs that have a million hills, nooks, and other obstacles that don't allow you to use that 60" zero turn you invested in efficiently. Leave those properties to the neighbor kid that will push mow it. Don't push mow it yourself either (at any price) because it will just slow you down, tire you out, and throw you off your day of efficiency. The other big way to be efficient, route density. Remember how I mentioned you've got to track that time between jobs too? So to sum up this book I've just written here in this KZfaq comment. Price you time. Track your time. Win/Win scenarios. Be efficient. Some day I'm going to start my own KZfaq channel. I've got a lot of good stuff to share in this lawn care arena. I certainly hope I've helped you to better understand how to best move your business forward. Good luck.

@@mrdavebach thanks man

Just make sure your profit margin is above 20% ideally 30%-50% any lower than 20 is a no go.

Minus one guy. Not pointing fingers at the ninjas but it's the ninjas trying to disable the lawncare KZfaq community

BPM. What kinda services do you offer? Im just starting out and don't want to limit myself to just mowing if I pick a name for a future LLC. Was thinking (something) property maintenance.

Thanks for the feedback I love that idea.

Broadcasting pricing would give is competition all his customers.

@@ronjclm8590 Brian or Mike are not competing on price. Competing on price is a losing game. Both also share their pricing. I’m talking about his P&L.

@@BriansLawnMaintenance just for clarification, I was referring to your P&L. You already share most of your services pricing. Thanks for the response.

I mean, if you can read between the lines and pick up what Brian puts down, he's pretty transparent. He's been transparent about what he new mins have been for this season (i believe he said he's up to starting around $42). He's been pretty transparent on the fact that he can mow 30 yards a day due to his route density. And no, revealing your pricing wont let competition steal his clients. There is so much work to go around, that that bad business practice of poaching the next guys client is a dying breed. With all the available work, and the cost of everything higher than ever, the guy who guys around undercutting just to have more clients is going to bury their business in the next year or so.

Lol 💯

To successfully destroy America and Western culture around the world. you need to destroy the economy. Control their health with the "food" and "medical" industries. Put small businesses out of business...to protect their health. Destroy independent truckers, small farmers, etc. Get Bill Gates to buy up all the farm land and make fuel scarce and unaffordable...then...turn off their electricity. A very successful operation

Beans are good for you.

Gotta love the bots 😀 send me link 👍🏻

Mike charged me no lie lol

He makes nothing off of his KZfaq videos

Rob is handsomely paid. You want me to cut Robs pay down? Let me ask him about that. 🙄

So am I. It’s a miracle we didn’t quit.

@@BriansLawnMaintenance There is an illusion because of the gross revenue. that keeps you going There's also in illusion over what's profit when you're self employed. To make a $800 truck payment out of wages, you'll need to gross $1050 before taxes. For a business truck payment you just need to find the $800. Same to fuel, tools, work cloths, insurance, etc. A woman I know once said that she made $100k in salary. She took home about $55k in her paychecks.

Lol jk!

I would take all the promos I could. As long as you don’t endorse some junk products!!

I was gonna go on a rampage. Being a sub for over 4 years to Brian. He wouldn't sell out. As much as people say that about KZfaqrs, Brian is far from it. He only wants the best for the best. He's said in a few reviews that some things are Dookie. You don't get paid to promote. Only demo a product. But I have seen companies bribe, even strike channels for bad reviews. That's fine with Brian. He'll probably make a new account as it's free lol. An absolute legend in the industry

He’s the definition of an industry plant
