Lawn care pricing, profit, and route guides.
Build prices from the operator’s own time and costs, understand the margin formula, and see how drive time changes recurring-route economics. Every example shows its assumptions instead of presenting a national rate as the answer.

Seven guides. One connected method.
How to price lawn care jobs
Count service and route time, owner field pay or labor, direct costs, overhead, and the target margin.
Read the pricing method →Guide 02Profit margin vs. markup
Separate owner pay from modeled profit, then see why a 25% markup produces only a 20% margin.
Check the formulas →Guide 03Route density and drive time
Allocate route travel once and test how a tighter scenario changes the cost floor.
See the worked route example →Guide 04Estimates vs. completed visits
Keep a baseline, compare matching observations and trace a difference to the input that changed.
Compare estimates with actuals →Guide 05Review an existing price
Check scope, evidence and route assumptions before separating the calculation from a renewal decision.
Use the price-review checklist →Guide 06Audit the full recurring route
Connect the baseline, route inventory, costs, completed visits and next decision in one documented review.
Follow the annual audit workflow →Guide 07Allocate overhead per visit
Turn a documented cost pool into an allowance, choose matching visits or route hours, and check for double counting.
