Sorry about the spelling I'm really tired I go to High School and the I cut after school with my dad. We both run our own business I'm local but he's not and total we have 45 accounts. Plus it dosen't help that he broke his foot in July and still can't work at full capacity.

I charge $50/hour and add to it charging retail for fertilizer, seed and lime using a Bluebird 24" core.

I have heard the priced tossed around of 3X the fee you would charge for a mowing, edging, trimming job.

Hello Everybody:

<b>Mr. Brown is Right on Target about Aeration Pricing! </b>[]

I've Been on these Boards for Years & 3 Times the Cut, Trim & Edge Price is What Most LCO's Say. That's How I Figured Mine Too, Back in The Good Old Days!

Now this Price is For Using a True Core Plug Aerator only, Not a Spike Aerator that Compacts the Soil!

This fall I have been charging $12/m sf up to 8m/sf and then I drop down to $10/m sf thereafter.

I have requested that they water the lawns quite well prior to our arrival and this has helped to produce deeper penetration into the soil.

For those that mention aerating by the sq ft, are you measuring entire lot size or only the area to aerated?
