    This answer depends on what kind of equipment you will be using, how earger you are to get the client, etc. My father and I have had a lawncare business for 10 years. We try to average a dollar a minute on a one man job, but we use 60 inch ride on mowers. If you are using a push mower or even a 32 inch mower you won’t be able to average anywhere near that much. I would say don’t go under $65 for a full acre unless you are really needing the business. Even at that, don’t go under $50. DOn’t forget to take into account how much trimming you will have to do!

    What will you be doing there is the best question?

    Mowing-$125
    Fert and weed control, Scotts Lawn Service charges by their price list(even though not all actually pay by the list price)
    $118 for the first 20k ft, and then $3.85 per thousand after that.

    Equaling $206.55, I would do it for 150 since it really doesnt take that long at all. I could fert and blanket spray an acre in 45 minutes or less.

    Hope this helps
