What goes on a landscaping price list

A landscaping price list mixes two kinds of work. Mowing is regular, so it's priced per cut by yard size and how often you come. Everything else — clean-ups, aeration, mulch, planting — is seasonal or one-time, priced flat, per unit or by the hour. Keeping both on one sheet lets a mowing client see the spring clean-up price before they ask a neighbor.

Give every line its unit, because landscaping units vary more than most trades: per cut, per treatment, per shrub, per cubic yard, per linear foot. Say what's included — clippings bagged or mulched, debris hauled away or left at the curb. Then the rules: a minimum for visits that aren't mowing, and the date the prices were set.

• Service name: mowing, clean-up, aeration, mulch, planting
• What's included: trimming, blowing, haul-away, materials
• The price and its unit: per cut, per visit, per shrub, per cubic yard or per sq ft
• Your minimum visit or trip charge
• Evening or weekend rates, if you have them
• What's extra: overgrown grass, dump charges, plants
• The date the prices were set

Copy this landscaping price list template

Copy the lawn care price list template and fill it in. Lead with mowing by yard size, since most callers ask about it first, then seasonal work, then beds and planting. A client signing up for weekly cuts should be able to find the fall clean-up price on the same page.

Price mowing for both weekly and every-two-weeks service; the longer gap means taller grass and a slower cut. Beds and unusual yards get a written estimate after you've walked them, like our landscaping estimate template. The skeleton:

• [Your business name] · [phone] · Prices as of [date] · US dollars
• Mowing (per cut)
• [Yard size] — [weekly or every two weeks, what's included] — $[price] per cut
• Seasonal and lawn care
• [Service] — [what's included] — $[price] [per visit / per treatment]
• Beds and planting
• [Service] — [what's included] — $[price] [per shrub / per cubic yard / per sq ft]
• Hourly rate for other work: $[rate] per hour
• Trip charge / minimum: $[…]
• Evenings and weekends: [+…%]
• Prices are a starting point; a written estimate confirms the job price

How to build a landscaping price list (or flat-rate price book)

Mowing prices come from minutes, not acres. Time a typical cut on each yard size, including unloading, trimming and blowing, add the drive to the next stop, and multiply by your hourly rate. If a quarter acre takes 45 minutes door to door at $65 an hour, that's about $49 a cut, close to the $50 in the sample. The hourly rate calculator helps you find that hourly number first.

Installed materials need both halves of the sum: the material at your markup — the markup calculator does that — and the labor to place it. Price mulch by the cubic yard delivered and spread, not by the bag. And set a minimum off the mowing route, because a single shrub trim still costs a trip.

• Price mowing per cut by yard size, with a higher price for every-two-weeks service
• Flat price = hours × rate + materials × markup + dump and fuel costs
• Charge for the first cut of an overgrown lawn separately
• Set a minimum for clean-ups and small jobs off your regular route
• Review the sheet each winter, before spring calls start

Your price list, inside Workeey

Workeey prices each job from the rates you save once in Settings: hourly rate, travel per 20 minutes, a call-out charge (the least any job costs), the first hour, extra for evenings and weekends as a percent, your parts markup and a deposit percent. A quick estimate for a clean-up or a bed refresh uses them, so a one-time job never comes in under your minimum.

Type a line by hand once — “Mulch installed, $65 per cubic yard” — and Workeey remembers it with its price, offering it as a one-tap chip on the next job, most-used first, so your price list builds itself. The estimate leaves your phone as a quote PDF; the yes comes to you, not through the app, and one tap turns it into the invoice. Free comes with 23 quick estimates a month (unlimited on Pro) and unlimited invoicing, no card. See lawn care software or landscaping software.
