That seems very cheap for about 1.5 acres!

 

If i get any jobs like that come up, i'll sub them out to you.

 

"Cheap as chips" that's us:thumbup:. Big machines and sites close to base - we fly through big grass areas, especially when they are cut every 10 days. Remember even an Allen National 68" will cut 2 acres an hour - and we're cutting with 72" rotarys going more than twice the speed (see avatar)

I've just started on my own and I'm trying to build up a lawn mowing round. The lawns are roughly 10x6m and 20x10m in size. Clippings go in their green bin and I get a cup of tea at each one:thumbup:

I'm charging by the hour because I usually rake it over, trim the edges, sweep up and get asked to do something totally random while I'm there!

If I should be charging by area how much is the going rate?

Thanks all

How long do they take you to cut?
