Geographic region comes into play

Question about the average hourly rate for services on your area, How do you find this out? I like in Michigan, Metro Detroit, how do you put a number on this?

That is the problem. All areas are different. What I would do is ask around for some info. My brother lives down there, and I am up north here. My brother says that lawns down there minimum are $45, while up here they are $25.
