When a professional lawn care company arrives at your property, consider this: they will have a truck, a trailer, at least 2 different commercial lawn mowers, trimmers, pruners, blowers, plus a myriad of other smaller power and hand tools. The average cost of this setup is approximately $50,000 if purchased used, More than $80,000 if purchased new. General liability, commercial auto, workers compensation, disability insurance, Federal, and State taxes will add a 30%-50% hourly wage burden. Fuel, oil, mower blades, trimmer line, and other sundries add to the cost of the work being done. Our average properties in the Hudson Valley take 50 minutes to complete not including drive time for two workers. What is a reasonable price to perform work like this?
