Default Help with how to bid 17-25 yards for a Realtor

The homes(up to 25) are are all roughly 1/3 acre cut area, the weed eating will vary from home to home but say 15-20 minutes a piece, edging an additional 15-20 the first visit atleast, flower beds will be 15-20 minutes, general upkeep like pruning or trimmimg will vary, they will require that I also do weed control & fertilize.. I have just been doing a few yards a week for extra money right now and have no idea how to bid this kind of work.. If you could please give me a general idea that would help a lot!!

Also there is a possibility that 17-25 number could grow into full time work for me and I would actually love that so should I factor that into the bid?

The homes are in a 20 mile radius, but numerous are very close to each other..

I'm sure there will be several add-on's like mulch, sod, flowers, etc. but i will bid those separate..


Equipment wise I have a Gravely Pro44, weed eaters, trimmers, edgers, blowers, etc..

When you say that, what do you mean? How would that it potentially becoming fulltime work change the way you bid on it?
