1. You need to find out what others charge in your area and stay close to the same or a little lower until you get a good reputation. Keep the name fairly simple so it's easy to remember. And try not to go too cute - it isn't professional and men would never call it.
2. You might check the competition to see what they charge and then you will need to estimate how long jobs will take. You can do that by experience. You could also charge at an hourly rate based on what you think the service is worth, overhead, etc.
3. Best way to get prices, would be to call around to existing lawn care services, and get quotes from them. Then you know what you have to beat. Name? Um..... "your initials" lawn care
4. (name for ur company)blanks lawn care service and etc.. go around leave posters & phone number to where to get a hold of you.. get a resume if u have had a job before ..set ur price as minamul wage .. if u plan on going 9-5 ...GOOD LUCK
