Our basic service includes mowing your lawn, edging the perimeter and blowing clippings off all hard surfaces. Bagging of clippings is not included in our basic service. Helpful hint: Grass clippings actually turn into a great natural fertilizer for the rest of the lawn!

Good deal.
Some customers don’t understand what basic cuts are. Please show this to all new customers.
Honestly first cut of the season and first time customers if you dont bag those clippings it will look like a hay field and it can also stunt growth of the grass the clipping cover depending on length. Once a lawn is maintained no bagging should be required unless the frequency of the mow is to far apart.
First cuts should be an extra 10 to 20 dollars edging on over grown sidewalks are very time consuming
Fist cut takes a huge amount of time because the grass over grow and the edging 90% of the customers never edge they land and is extremely over extending on the side walks. Fist cut should be paid more .
I agree first cut is always more work, should recieve more pay.
The homes in okc that get this service require bagging. How do we upcharge? We have bagged all the yards we have done.
You should be more specific to your clients and provider's... Edge the perimeter lol... I dont know how the rest of the country does it but here in Virginia we trim the perimeters( property line and stuctures), with a string line trimmers/weedeaters and we edge all hard surfaces with a stick edger... You actually sound very unprofessional and uneducated in this industry and your market in Norfolk is underpriced dramatically.
You edge curbing,walkways,driveways,all hard surfaces that you can edge without damaging the clients properties. Those areas that you can damage you use a string line trimmer/ weedeater to do those areas and make sure you are using proper technique to not take a window out. As far as perimeters that's property line,structures,obsticals and obstructions,places you cant get a mower; all done by a string line trimmer/weedeater.

Mr. Kauffman its a joke u are trying to make fun of these providers questions. They want to know if they can charge more on the first service because the edging is long and because it's more time consuming. So you tell me how is that unprofessional and wanted to know how to charge on this platform and how is it an educated
Has lawn starter considered raising prices for the future.
so basic services ONLY is a Mow and Blow and edge the hard scapes. NO STRING TRIMMING WHAT SO EVER?
What does full service include?
If you need to bag then you need sharpened blades. All my blades are in pair of two. So grass is cut real small. Customers love it an refuse to bag any more. My company only bags if the grass is past a foot.
