  • Need help with a quote

    Hi. I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping you can help. I have the opportunity to provide a proposal to a builder for the following services: lawn mowing and landscape upkeep (i.e., replacing straw, removing weeds) for 70 patio homes. I plan to provide a quote for both 2x month service as well as 1x month service. The lots are less than 1/2 acre & I will be working alone or with just 1 assistant. Can someone give me an idea how much I should quote? Any help would be appreciated.

    Count and carefully measure all parts of the work ... quantity of work ... then convert it to time ... how much work is there? ... how long will each "part" of that work take? ... how many times? ... carefully consider the frequency of work ...

    Is there a chemical program for lawn care ... if you're not licensed, bid it, sub it, profit from that too ... and be in a position to "control" the days apps are to be made ... so you're not there mowing that day ...

        Well, I've gotten a preliminary figure for my proposal for the 70 patio homes to be mowed, trimmed, edged, and weed controlled on a monthly basis. This is my first one so I wanted to check with others more experienced than me. Does $66,500/year sound reasonable for this project?

          Would really need a lot more information on that one to give you any figures.
