Cost to mow...
You should wonder if your neighbor will really pay you at all.
Cut it with the assumption you wont get paid for your trouble otherwise there could be a lot of hard feelings developing. If you decide to cut it wait till it gets rather long to encourage them to fix their lawn mower and take responsibility themselves. .. "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 |
