Lawn care business tips
I went to the library today... got a couple of books about the lawn care business (starting one and running one)... There was a really good section in there telling about how to figure your hourly rate...

You figure your personal cost of living (mortgage, utilities, etc... just what you need to survive), then add to that the cost of running your business... PER YEAR, that is... then divide that figure by 1,940 (the approximate number of working hours in a year). That will be your MINIMUM hourly rate.
