Grass cutting pricing, answered
- How much should I charge to mow a lawn?
- Price from your real cost (labour including travel, plus mower fuel and wear) then add a margin on the sell price. A domestic cut is often £20–£45; larger or commercial grass runs price per hour on site. This calculator gives you a defensible number from your own costs.
- Should I charge more for fortnightly vs monthly cuts?
- Longer gaps mean longer grass and more time per visit, so the per-cut price should reflect the actual time on site. Set your visits per year and time on site here to see the difference.
