Frequently Asked Questions
How do I estimate mowing speed?
A typical push mower covers about 60-100 sq ft per minute, while a riding mower can cover 150-300+ sq ft per minute depending on the machine and terrain.
Should I include edging and cleanup time?
Yes, add extra minutes to your estimate for edging, trimming, and blowing off clippings, or adjust your mowing rate downward to compensate.
What profit margin is typical for lawn care?
Most lawn care businesses target a 15-30% profit margin per job after covering labor, fuel, and equipment wear costs.
