Lawn Care Service Price?? Need Help with the price??

Hey guys I am 17 years old and I am looking for summer work, I handed out fliers the other day advertising my lawn care service for 25 dollars a lawn, and an additional 5 dollars if the people want their lawn bagged(removing all the freshly cut grass) I have already had 3 people interested. Do yall think that my price is to expansive or is it where it is?

1. Too low....the kids I hired for the summer got 50.00 for each cutting ( including removal). The Lawn Care Pros wanted 85.00. You should get a lot of customers for 25.00. Good luck!!!!!
2. It really depends on your neighborhood. In my neighborhood the yards are very small, so $20 seems to be the going rate, but it only takes 10-15 minutes to mow our lawn. If the yards are bigger, however, $30-$50 would be a more competitive price.
3. Is that 25$ per month or $25 per week? If it is $25 per week I would say that it is high. If that is $25 month and you mow 4 times per month then it is low. For my rental properties I generally pay my gardener, for each property, $80 per month to mow once per week. That includes trimming the edges of the lawn front and back yard, and removing the grass clippings. Since I have several rental properties close together I do get a discount compared with his regular price because he does not have to travel far between jobs. If you can keep your gardening jobs close to your house obviously that will cut yur time and costs if you do not have to travel too far.
