13 acre bid

[CloseCuts]

Hello there everyone. This is my first time ever posting. I have a 13acre lot to bid on. Its pretty much smoothe sailing and not alot of trimming. I was wondering if anyone could help me out. Does anyone charge by the acre?

Hi CloseCuts, Welcome to our forum. I haven't seen pricing broken down to a per acre charge on here. How long would it take you to service this property?

i'm figuring it will take me 4 to 5 hrs. Theres only like 150ft of trimming and the rest is straight cutting.

Just give them a price.. not by the hour.. not by the acre... just give them a price per cut and if they don't like it..

Are you going to be using a zero turn mower for this job ?

So let's say 6 hrs to do the job and you charge between 45-65$/hr

So i'd say between 250-350$ a cut
