Estimating Lawn Care Prices
May 2013 – Lawn Care Business Estimating – More money if you do it right.
Do you have trouble calculating a proper price estimate for your lawn care business? Proper pricing is probably the single most important factor that will help you start and operate a successful lawn care business.
Too many people starting out, or new to the business, do not know how to properly estimate their prices. They often low-ball their estimates and lose money on their lawn care jobs. Our estimating software will help you with your pricing.

During our time in the industry we have seen many lawn care businesses get started. Unfortunately, many lawn care businesses make the mistake of improper estimating. There are two common mistakes in lawn care estimating.
1) Lawn Care Companies overestimate their prices and lose many potential customers.
2) Lawn Care Companies underestimate their prices and lose potential profit.
Overestimating your lawn care prices will drive customers away from your business. All customers (even quality, high-paying customers) will eventually determine market value for lawn care services and find a quality provider at a better price.
Underpricing might get you a lot of customers. But, if a customer is willing to pay $5 or $10 more per mow (and still be happy) why not charge more money? If 1 customer will pay $10 more per mow and you provide 30 services per year, you are LOSING $300 per customer.
Correct pricing is a balancing act. Our lawn care business guidebook includes a great section on PRICING PSYCHOLOGY that will help you determine how much money your customers are willing to pay for your services.
The Lawn Care Guidebook and Estimating software is on sale this month for less than $50.

We hope everyone is having a good winter break. In Florida and other southern sections of the country grass cutting continues unabated through the cooler months. But, even if you are in a northern state you should continue to focus on your lawn care business during the winter. The air temperature might be cold but the atmosphere for lawn care contracts is red hot between now and April. So if you want to bid and win lawn care contracts and make more money with your lawn care company than you ever thought possible you need to get started right now by bidding contracts.
If you don’t know where to begin, our Lawn Care Business Guidebook & Estimating software includes an excellent section on bidding and winning lawn care contracts. Click the link above for a description of the book & software and for ordering instructions.

Lawn care business owners can make good money in December if they follow a few marketing strategies. While the leaf raking season is mostly over, many lawn care customers are looking for one last grass cutting of the season. Customers want their yards looking good for the holidays.
So, even if you are in a northern state, take this opportunity to contact all of your lawn care customers to let them know you are available for pre-Christmas and holiday lawn care. You will be surprised how many of your existing lawn care customers will have you come to their property to rake the remaining leaves and give the grass one last cut (even if the grass doesn’t really need it.)
Also, don’t forget that January is the month that many businesses and government agencies bid out their lawn care work. You need to be tracking down these contracts right now. Lawn care contracts offer big money if you bid them right.
Our LAWN CARE BUSINESS GUIDEBOOK & ESTIMATING SOFTWARE: www.StartALawnCareBusiness.com/order.html will help you start and operate a successful lawn care business.
Leaf Raking is Big Money to Lawn Care Business Owners
November 2012 – Leaf Raking Means Big Money To Lawn Care Business Owners

If you have ever thought about starting a lawn care business but waited and waited and didn’t get started last summer, you might think it is too late to begin in November. You might be missing one of the biggest profit seasons of the year.
Leaf raking season is a VERY busy time for lawn care business owners. There is a HUGE amount of money to be made during November and December and you can still profit by offering leaf raking to your customers. Customers gladly pay money for leaf cleanup in their lawns but they also pay for gutter cleaning, flower bed leaf removal, and driveway clearing. We have had customers pay us exclusively to blow off their driveways each week. That’s GREAT MONEY for only a few minutes of work.
So, if you are debating getting started with your own lawn care business this month, check out our professionally develped Lawn Care Business Training Manual and Estimating Software business package. This is a HUGE business package that will help you start and operate your own successful lawn care business.
