Pricing tips for lawn care
- A season plan beats per-visit pricing for both of you: steady work for you, one decision for the customer.
- Offer aeration and overseeding as the better option and full treatment as the best.
- Obstacles and slopes slow mowing. Adjust your speed for the yard rather than averaging it.
