Hello pros of the lawn care industry. I have some questions about advancing in my business and learning about pricing.
I live in Huntsville AL. Right now, I only push mow lawns, but am thinking about getting a rider soon. I charge around $30 per hour. I have heard many people charge around $60 per hour with riders. Would you charge different amounts for push mowing and riders? Anyone else have experience with the hourly rates is Alabama? How do I find out the average hourly rate in my area?
Another question. Advertising. I am looking to generate interest in my company. What websites and/or sources of advertising work well? Facebook, snapchat, own website, twitter, Instagram?
Any other help and or suggestions about how to grow a business would be greatly appreciated also.
Thanks!
