Lawn care pricing calculator
Know what to charge per visit from lawn size, difficulty, frequency, crew time, travel and your margin.

Lawn size, slope, fences, obstacles, bagging and overgrown grass change minutes. Minutes times labor, plus travel, fuel, disposal and overhead, is the job cost. Margin sits on top of that.
ProfitPriced starts with routine mowing — not hardscaping, trees or full landscaping — so the number you get is for the job you actually do every week.
Weekly turf is shorter and faster. Biweekly grass takes longer. A one-time or overgrown property can be a different visit entirely. The calculator shows those side by side so you can talk about a weekly program instead of arguing over a one-off number.
