I agree, you run your business the way you are comfortable. It is good that you are putting 20% of your earnings back into the business in case you would need spare batteries which can be expensive and wear and tear on your equipment. I run a Handyman business and I do the same thing. I have a some big company customers and that keeps the costs down for my small senior citizens customers. I have just enough work to keep me busy but still get time off. Good luck you are doing a great job. 😊

Small bit of advice from a fellow gardener, ive been doing this job for over 20 years im irish but ive done gardens this size and bigger. Id advise to charge around $60 for these gardens and $90 for bigger ones. You have to take into account petrol costs, Grass dump charges and then taxes.. dont be afraid to ask for more as most clients will definitely have no issues if you have done work for them before. My oldest daughter works with me and she has her own clients for side jobs. Shes a hard worker like you also so fair play

I do not know the pricing of lawns today. When I was your age, I charged by the time it would take, how hard it was mowing the yard, and the agreement by the person and I on charging. I ask the yard to be clear of objects, as for I had many yards, with no time to move things around. The people are happy with your prices that is all that matters. Some of the yards I see you mow would be 30 mins or under and I would charge $3. This was in the 60s and early 70s when the hourly wage was about $1 per hour, which seems to be about what you're charging now. Times I would get up to $10+ a yard being close to $100 or over today. That would be a yard not mowed in a while, having to check the yard for objects, and taking much more time. You are doing a great service, yards look great, and you should be proud of doing a service for the people and community.

Congratulations on your business model. You can charge what you want since you are the owner of your business. You can cut yards for free when you see the need in hardship cases. Continue to develop your skills with equipment and the knowledge of grasses and mowing heights during seasons of the year. For instance, you described one of the lawns as high. Take in to consideration the 1/3 rule. You may decide that it is better to mow off only 1/3 off the top. This way the grass will still look green and protect it from the outside high temperatures. Clients like to see green grass and aesthetics in shaping the cut. Determine what’s best for your client in their particular yard. Hats off to you. San Antonio, Texas.

I like that you have a formula for your charges, and I hope you stick to it for everyone. You seem to have a great work ethic, and a great business plan. Lawn care is a great job, it taks lots of hard work, made easier by having proper tools. Keep back enough money to buy a replacement lawnmower. You never know when a person will back over a lawnmower in the driveway(my neighbor, and his mower). Sort of short lawn story, skip it if you like. I once had a 'kid' offer to cut my grass for 20, 30, 40. His exact words. 20, 30, 40. So, I had to ask "which one is it? Don't let me choose." In my opinion, 40 was fair, which is what I paid him, (he still never gave me a firm answer) but he didn't weedeat, edge, or bag the grass, and he even used my lawnmower. The 'kid' was a 20 year old dude, living at home, no transportation, no driver's license even. His dad often came to cut my yard, and he charged me $50, but he had a riding mower he rode to my house(2 houses down), which had a bagger, he weedeated and edged as well. His dad was helping him out giving up nearby lawns within a walking distance for him to have some spending money. In the end, the kid showed up randomly, maybe once a month, and sometimes he left the backyard uncut. Sad, I liked him, but he lacked effort. This led to me letting a homeless couple cut my lawn, they randomly knocked on the door. To me it seemed they lived in the car they used, piling the mower and all the tools in the trunk, lots of clothes in the backseat. I didn't want to embarass them by asking, they seemed to just want work. They were the nicest couple. My neighbor 'friend in blue' was worried I was letting in random people in my home. My ex-wife flipped houses and rented some out, so I asked my ex-wife/best friend to help, she got them in her rental home. Part of her rental lease includes a background check, so it was all good. I paid them to help me remove lots of clothes and furniture to 'donate', most of which they took home or sold in a monthly garage sale. I didn't mind, I was going to sell my home, so it all needed to be gone..

Just a couple of ideas to potentially increase your income or personal use... if you are removing grass clippings from clients' properties, look into composting. You need more than grass clippings but you could also compost, get free kitchen scraps from your route, and then sell back 100% organic compost or use it for your family (if y'all garden). Why is "y'all" spellchecked, lol! YT must not be Southerner friendly ;) !!! Remember also to figure the electricity costs and disposal costs (of clippings) if you are paying taxes... NO NEED to say either way here, JS. Maybe you can sell the dog 'leftovers' and brown paper bags to neighbor kids... just kidding, NEVER EVER! Thanks, your videos remind me of the 90's, when we did whatever work we could to make some legitimate $$$ growing up (12 y.o.+). God Bless you and your parents... they must be good people.

It's great to start saving, you might want to think about starting an IRA, you'll need your parents help due to your age but you could start a custodial IRA and start saving for retirement. The sooner you start saving for retirement the more comfortable your retirement will be & the earlier it will come. You might also want to take advantage of a high yield savings account. At your age compounding interest is your best friend.

Do you take the grass clippings with you for every yard you mow? It's one thing if you're doing an elderly customer a favor by taking the clippings with you.

Just out of curiosity, do you know the size of the yards? As in the acreage. These appear to be very small lots at maybe well under 1/4 acre. I have a chart I use for pricing, if I can find the link I can share it or have your dad reach out to me and I’ll send a copy to him. But it sounds like you’re already pretty close to the chart if not right on it.

Out of interest, (how) are you paying for the electricity you're using to charge your lawn equipment? Have you considered getting a solar panel and powerbank to put on top of the trailer, and worked out whether the expenses on that would be worth it compared to just paying for grid electricity (or however you charge your equipment now)? If you aren't currently paying for the electricity to charge your equipment, that's fine - but it may be interesting, if you can measure the amount of electricity you are using for charging, to account for the cost of it at the prevailing electric rate at the places you charge at to understand how much it would cost you if you were paying directly.
