What is a good Price to charge for a group of teens to mow lawns?

My friends and I are starting to mow lawns to make some extra cash. We live in Austin, Texas, which is getting all the rain. So we no many poeple cant really mow. Much of our competition is (not to be rude) but the hispanics here. We want to know the best price for about 1/4-1/3 of a yard W/O weed-whacking or edging. Plz tell me the price i should tell them and if also you can tell me a reasonable price for weed-whacking, trimming and other stuff as well. Just make it approximate. Thnxs a bunch.

$10-$25 if 25 is too high just go down to 20 or 15 i don't think 10 is a very fair price
YOU should include the ' weed- eating' in the price of mowing. now, the edgeing could be charged as extra labor. basically, you can charge whatever you want...but do not price yourself out of the market, while charging enough to pay for ALL expenses, including your labor ( time ) fuel, maintenance and cost of the equipment, etc.
$20 is a good price to charge(the price should be the same even if you trim), it may seem high but believe me the going rate for lawns is alot higher, any additional labor should be $ 17-19/hr.
$40.00 is the going price for mowing , edging and weed eating plus give Senior Citizens a 10% discount. Good Luck and have fun.
