<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Keep In Mind Personal Costs
According to LawnSite.com, the rule of thumb for charging for landscaping for work done is $1 for every minute worked. However, keep in mind that you need to add the cost of overhead items like gasoline, equipment, mulch, taxes and advertising.
On the Other: Too Much Means No Clients
If you charge too much, you may not find clients. This may seem obvious, however, if you have figured out your overhead costs and plan on asking for a price higher than what competitors charge, then no one will use you. You may need to set a contract for work done rather than have an hourly rate.
Bottom Line
Most people agree that somewhere between $40 and $60 an hour for landscaping is a good price to charge. If you do not work on a per-hour basis, then bidding on contracts is the next option. Make sure that the bid price covers your overhead costs and labor.
