How much to charge for mowing Grass?

Question

I'm wanting to start a Mowing Business Next spring, but need to figure out how much I should charge for mowing lawns?

Should I go by the hour or should I charge per Job?

Answer 1

I'm mowing grass for a convenience store and I'm doing it for $10.00 an hour.

Plus I got all the Soda I can drink provided and a was fixed a hamburger and fries at his restaurant.

He's providing the gas from his pumps too. So if you're providing the gas you might have to charge more. Or depending on the size of the yard you can charge for job.

If going by the hour and providing gas you could charge $15.00 an hour.
