Pete Serrano wrote me to add to this post. He said "Your question about bi week or weekly lawns. I charge more for bi weekly since now i have to mow a higher lawn. Lets say I charge $55 for a weekly lawn I will charge 110 bi weekly to still make money on the cut."

Lawn care business tips
That's great Pete, If you can get double go ahead I guess, But then why don't they just have you do it every week for $55 ?

Theres nothing wrong with giving it a shot. Worse thing that happens is they quit right? So you can get rid of the headache if they quit. Make a chunk weekly or take less time and make the same abount bi-weekly.

I'm good with a 50-75% increase over the weekly rate to get them doing it bi-weekly.

WOW is all I have to say about all this because I opend up my eyes to see the bigger picture in how to do it right when you have weekly verses a bi-weekly. I never thought about it like you all have posted in wear and tear and more time etc... I am now goin to start trying it and see what happens with my new approach.
Thanks a lot guys (seriously)
