Cost to mow...
Hi Tim,
We have almost 3/4 of an acre. We are charged weekly $35/cut which includes all the extras (edging, trimming and we have several trees that need to be edged around. I've read all your comments and can see where a real problem can begin. Since there is a language barrier, maybe going through your yellow pages and selecting two or three gardeners for them to call or go through the phone book with them and then tell them (nicely) that this will be your last cut. You just have too much to do around your own home. Good Luck!! Brandi "Tim Fischer" wrote in message news:YKYxa.634948$OV.599440@rwcrnsc54... My neighbor is in a bind, since their lawn tractor is on the fritz. He wants me to mow their yard until they make other arrangements. I'm not real keen on the idea as I have a bigger need for time (for all my own projects) than money. But, I want to be neighborly... How much should I charge (he's definitely willing to pay) to mow about 8/10 acre of mostly treeless property with few obstacles? Also, I will not be doing any trimming, edging, raking, etc-- pretty much just what my lawn tractor can do. I want to charge enough so that they want to find other arrangements sooner than later, but not so much as to be ridiculous. We just moved here last July and don't really know these folks at all, so I'm surprised they asked us (although we're their closest neighbor and have a brand new Deere so they know we can do it. I'm in suburban Minneapolis, if that matters. Thanks, -Tim |
