Lawn Care Calculator

Price a lawn mowing service by lot size and see the cost per visit and per month.

How this calculator works

Enter the lot size in square feet, your price per 1,000 square feet and the visits per month. The calculator divides the lot size by 1,000 and multiplies by the price for one visit, then multiplies by the visits for the month. Real prices also depend on slopes, obstacles, grass height and travel time.

Example

A 9,000 square foot lot at $5 per 1,000 square feet with 4 visits a month. The calculator shows: Per Visit: $45.00 · Monthly: $180.00.

Tips

Set a minimum charge per visit so small lots still cover your travel and equipment costs.
Charge more for steep slopes, tall grass on the first cut and lots with many obstacles.
Offer a seasonal or monthly plan so customers know the price and you get steady work.

Common questions

How many visits a month is typical?

Weekly during the growing season is common, and less often in slow growth periods. Your area and the grass type affect it.

Does the lot size mean only the lawn?

Use the mowable area. Subtract the house, driveway and beds if you know them.
