Quotes, routes and season programs for lawn care firms

No. 1The visit and the season

Price the visit. Then price the season.

Mowbray quotes mowing by lot size, adds edging and trimming, takes off your weekly discount and prices fertilizer, aeration, seed and leaves for the year. Then it puts the lawn on a crew's route.

The lot
Each visit
The season
Looking straight down on a front lawn mown in wide diagonal stripes, a picket fence throwing long morning shadows across it.
Fig. 1 7,500 sq ft, band B, mowed every week from April to October: 30 visits, edged and trimmed each time.

No. 2The lot

Five lot sizes. Five prices a visit.

Measure the lawn once. Mowbray puts it in a band and prices every visit from that band, with your discount for lawns on a weekly or two-week route.

Five lawn plots drawn to scale, from band A, a small front yard, to band E, two acres. E D C B A
Drawn to scale. Band E is two acres; band A fits a townhouse front yard.

No. 3The season

The season, month by month.

Sell the year, not the mow. Each program is priced on the lot you already measured: a set price for the trip plus a rate for every thousand square feet.

  1. Mowing

    April, May, June, July, August, September, October

  2. Fertilizer

    March, May, August, October

  3. Aeration

    April, September

  4. Overseeding

    September

  5. Leaf cleanup

    October, November

  • Fertilizer granules scattered over dewy grass, with the wheel of a spreader at the edge.

    Fertilizer rounds

    $35.00 plus $4.00 per 1,000 sq ft

    Up to six rounds a year, each one priced on the lot.

  • A striped lawn just core aerated, small soil plugs lying in neat rows along the stripes.

    Core aeration

    $65.00 plus $8.00 per 1,000 sq ft

    Once a season, best in early fall on cool-season grass.

  • Grass seed falling from a gloved hand onto raked soil, first green shoots coming through.

    Overseeding

    $55.00 plus $12.00 per 1,000 sq ft

    Seed straight after aeration, while the cores are open.

  • An autumn lawn half under fallen leaves and half raked clean, a rake lying along the line.

    Leaf cleanup

    $80.00 plus $10.00 per 1,000 sq ft

    Up to four trips as the trees drop, raked, blown and hauled.

A lawn edge cut in a crisp straight line against a stone path, a string trimmer lying beside it.

The edge is what they notice.

Edging and trimming ride along on every visit, so they repeat with the mow and take the same route discount.

No. 4The route

A route for every weekday.

Weekly lawns repeat on the same day. Two-week lawns alternate, so Monday's crew is never doubled up. Crew leads open the day and see the street, the band and the work.
