What the calculator above gives for common yard sizes — the same numbers as the printable mow pricing sheet. They assume a flat, open yard on an established route — adjust up for slope, gates, obstacles, and long drives.

How these ranges are built
The calculator starts from a per-visit minimum that covers the fixed cost of any stop — drive, unload, trim, edge, blow, load — then scales with square footage and applies a frequency multiplier. Bi-weekly service starts 20% above weekly because extra growth can take longer to cut; adjust for the actual work. One-time work carries a larger premium because it gains none of the efficiency of a recurring route.
The figures are benchmark ranges for a solo operator or small crew, not a survey of any single market. Local wage levels, season length, and competition density move real prices well outside these bands in both directions — the full pricing guide covers how to calculate your own hourly rate and set prices from your actual costs.

How much should I charge to mow a lawn?
Most solo operators start around a $35 minimum for a small yard and scale up by lot size and add-ons. Use the calculator for a per-visit range, then adjust for slope, obstacles, and your local market.
Is this lawn care price calculator free?
Yes. It is free and needs no signup. It gives an estimated range to anchor your own quote.
Why charge more for one-time mows?
One-time and overgrown yards take more time and equipment wear, and you lose the efficiency of a regular route, so the calculator adds a premium over weekly service.
